Inorganic scale control during asp flooding, coreflood to field implementation – a case study

Abstract

Inorganic scale associated with conventional hydrocarbon extraction has been well studied over the past 50 years and the mechanisms of formation, inhibition and removal are now well understood within the industry. For enhanced oil recovery (EOR) significant changes occur within the reservoir as a result of injected chemical or changes in fluid type that are used to increase the oil recovery.

In the case of alkali surfactant polymer (ASP) flooding, the current industry understanding of scale prediction Previous HitmodelsNext Hit for such systems is discussed, along with the current inhibitor screening tests to qualify scale inhibitors for squeeze application in a Middle East field. The design of the different squeeze treatments applications for treatment of formation water and injection water production are presented.
