The formation of scale poses several serious menaces in oil and gas exploitations. The
scaling phenomenon may cause technical problems such as obstruction of equipment and …

In the last decade, there has been a swift development in several scientific research works in
which the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique has played a critical role in …

Inorganic salt precipitation is one of the main problems in oilfield operations. Different factors
affect scale formation and inhibition. Calcium sulfate scale formation occurs during …

A new desalination and carbon utilization method was developed using all of three major
cations dissolved in seawater-based industrial wastewater (ie, calcium, magnesium, and …

The current status of thermodynamic modeling in aqueous chemistry is reviewed. A number
of recent developments hold considerable promise, but these need to be weighed against …

Scale formation is a common problem in a wide range of industries such as oil and gas,
water desalination, and food processing. Conventional solutions for this problem including …

Desalination brine is a concentrated stream that is generated during the desalination
process. Brine commonly has high salinity and TDS (total dissolved ions), which contains …

Seawater injection is an efficient enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method that capitalizes on
the chemical composition differences between the injecting seawater and in-situ formation …

Controlling scale deposition in tight formations such as shale is commonly achieved by
combining fracturing stimulation with squeeze treatment. The squeeze treatment process's …

Determination of in situ formation water chemistry is an essential component of reservoir
management. This paper details the use of thermodynamic computer models to calculate …
