Comprehensive management of mineral scale deposition in carbonate oil fields - A case study

Integrating the results, a comprehensive workflow was designed for the continuation of this study and analog fields. The main sources of scales, their types and severity through the reservoir were evaluated and reactive and proactive approaches were suggested to reduce or eliminate the scale risks. Furthermore, this study shows that a proper design of inhibitor placement by coil would result in satisfactory placement for all wells, and fluid-rock interaction raises the severity of Calcite deposition.
