Amer Badr Bin Merdhah and Abu Azam Mohd Yassin , 2007. Barium Sulfate Scale Formation in Oil Reservoir During Water Injection at High-Barium Formation Water. Journal of Applied Sciences, 7: 2393-2403.
Scale problem in oil production is a big issue. We have found an interesting article published at Petrowiki website. We transcribe below some excerpts of such article, related to scale formation and use of inhibitors.
Green and sustainability are two words with enormous value within the oil and gas industry. The key issue is how to achieve such green and sustainable results.
Corporate decisions and wishes to care the environment are the first step, but the real results are obtained when an energy company develops a sustainable strategy and take adequate decisions to improve and care the environment. One of the possible paths to achieve sustainable goals is to use green products and services in the majority of activities within the industry, be at upstream, midstream or downstream operations. From production to refining and transportation, there are many ways to implement green practices and use green products and services in the oil and gas industry. The fracking industry is an example where some environmental friendly actions might be taken, turning a criticized activity into a more green way to obtain oil and gas.
