The mechanistic understanding of the reactions that govern the inhibitor retention and
release, modeling, and the state-of-the-art innovation in squeeze treatment are reviewed …

In this work, static adsorption/precipitation (Γ/Π) experiments were conducted for two widely
used scale inhibitors (DETPMP and VS-Co) using two different size fractions of Moroccan …

Mineral scale deposition within onshore and offshore productions is one of the major flow
assurance challenges in the oil and gas industry. Due to the complex nature of the scale …

Understanding the mechanisms of scale inhibitor (SI) retention in carbonate formations is
key to designing efficient SI “squeeze” treatments in oil reservoirs. By performing “apparent …

Scale deposition in oil and gas wells is still a major issue in the oil and gas industry as it
reduces hydrocarbon production, restricts well access to production logging tools and, in …

Inhibitor squeeze treatments have been regularly carried out to prevent both sulphate and
carbonate scale depositions from reservoir to topside facilities in North Sea field since …

To solve the problem that scale in oilfields can lead to a reduction of formation permeability
and blockage of wellbore and production system pipelines, through the scale inhibitor …

In many mature offshore fields, high water cuts and potential scale deposition are some of
the toughest challenges operators need to face. Two common practices used to deal with …

In this paper we will tell the story of a sub-sea well in the Oda field where the predicted
downhole calcium sulphate (CaSO4) scale risk did not concur with observations in the field …

Recent trends towards carbon net zero and the push to develop renewable energy as an
alternative to fossil fuels have resulted in major environmental focus on de-carbonisation …
