Optimized Scale Inhibitor Treatments Create $3 Million In Value On North Sea Well

Location: Miller Platform UK North Sea

Customer: BP

Problem:

• Scale deposition in platform well with 2959 bopd production required squeeze treatment every 10 days.

Objective:

• Extend time between squeeze treatments to 15 days to reduce costs and increase production

Solution:

• Baker Petrolite analyzed produced fluids on-site during treatment to optimize program.
• Preflush with a KXO-147 solution and overflush procedure enabled placement of inhibitor 25 ft into near wellbore region.
• Treatment with an SCW83263 scale inhibitor

Results:

• SCW83263 scale inhibitor treatments last 20 days, 100% over target
• Treatment cost savings: $1 million/year
• Incremental production: $2 million/year
