Overview

Mineral scale deposition is a major flow assurance problem for oil and gas operators. Two of the most common types of scales found in the oilfield are calcium carbonate, which is caused primarily by depressurization, and barium sulfate, which is primarily caused by incompatibility between the formation fluids and injection water. But, there are other types of scale – all of which can impede flow and impact performance of operational equipment, if not properly treated.

Scale creates headaches for operators who, many times, must shut down production to remediate scale deposition through costly removal and equipment repairs, such as electrical submersible pumps. In the process, they lose valuable production revenue.
