This book provides a comprehensive introduction to scale management. Starting with an introduction to oilfield scale, including material on predicting the problem and evaluating treatment options, it discusses various management and inhibition techniques before presenting squeeze treatments.
It explores the automatic optimization of squeeze designs, the use of tracers to estimate scale inhibitor placement, the mathematics of the transport and adsorption involved in squeeze treatments and describes the treatment life cycle in detail. Further, it presents all the steps necessary for the design of a cost-effective squeeze treatment for a real-world field case.
This book is of interest to researchers in the field of petroleum engineering, especially those specializing in flow assurance, transport in porous media, or the modeling and optimization of scale treatment designs. It is also a valuable resource for well engineers working in the oil industry and service companies providing scale management treatments.
