As scale issues remain one of the biggest challenges in oilfield production, new technologies and innovations on scale prediction, scale risk evaluation, and scale risk monitoring are in high demand more than ever. This session will cover comprehensive models on scale prediction, understanding the role of water chemistry, particularly how high calcium concentration can impact barite scale prediction at high temperature and high pressure conditions, and utilization of X-Ray Fluorescence technology for production water composition monitoring to evaluate scale risks in each well on unmanned installations.
