Halite scale has long been a challenge in the oil and gas industry. In recent years there has
been a marked increase in the occurrence of this scale type due to the increased …

This paper describes a laboratory and modelling study into halite (sodium chloride, rock salt)
deposition in mature gas production wells. Halite deposition can result in significant …

Halite is a common scale in oil/gas production. Freshwater is widely used to combat halite
scaling, but this is costly. Therefore, halite inhibitors have also been examined in laboratory …

Scale formation and corrosion attack are often inextricably interwoven processes in many
oilfield systems. While a dense and uniform layer of scale could act as a physical barrier to …

Scale formation during oil and gas production may cause formation damage, pump failure,
blockage of tubing or annulus, and deposits in surface lines and equipment that can result in …

Abstract In Central Graben, North Sea, there is generally no free water production, most of
the produced water is condensed water; however wells have been treated against scale …

Low-temperature geothermal power plants have great potential to provide baseload
electricity worldwide. However, the technology is new and untested, and the systems require …

This paper will highlight the effectiveness of a novel, environmentally friendly multifunctional
polymeric scale inhibitor that inhibits carbonate and sulfate scales as well as halite. The …

Produced water from the Bakken and Three Forks formations in the Williston Basin is notably
high in total dissolved solids, which leads to many well maintenance issues related to halite …

Inorganic scale deposition is one of the most serious flow assurance problems. One of these
exotic scales is halite (NaCl). Injection of hydrate inhibitors (HIs)[methanol, monoethylene …
