The presence of formation water and the treatment methods (both water flooding and
chemical treatments) employed during exploration and production operations have great …

Oilfield scale is one of the major flow assurance problems in the oil field industry. Scaling is
deposition of inorganic salts due to supersaturation of salts in water. Many researchers have …

Hydraulic fracturing uses a large amount of fresh water for its operation; conventional wells
can consume up to 200 000 gallons of water, while unconventional wells could consume up …

In the oil industry, water injection is used as a secondary recovery technique for pressure
maintenance and efficient oil and gas production. Injected water may be incompatible with …

A potential polymeric scale inhibitor used for oilfield was synthesized by solution
polymerization. The static inhibition rate on calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, barium …

Scale formation due to the mixing of injection water with formation water causes formation
damage and reduction in petroleum production. By using scale inhibitors, scale …

Waterflooding is known as an affordable method to enhance oil recovery after primary
depletion. However, the chemical incompatibility between injected water and the water in …

This volume covers the proceedings of the symposium entitled “Minerals Scales in
Biological and Industrial Systems,” sponsored by the American Chemical Society's Division …

Scale formation is a bottleneck of most industrial and domestic water equipment, in
particular, of oilfield water systems. Therefore, high-performance and environmentally …

Water flooding is one of the common techniques for increasing petroleum reservoirs'
pressure and production life. Seawater (SW) is a preferable choice for waterflooding …
