Inorganic scale deposition is a major issue for the oil and gas industry as it can block perforations, production tubing, valves, chokes and prevent topside heat exchangers and fluid separation equipment from functioning effectively.

Scale deposition in oil and gas wells is a major issue in the oil and gas industry as it reduces hydrocarbon production, restricts well access to production logging tools and, in addition, causes safety issues due to blocking and ineffective operation of chokes and valves.  Scale is predominantly controlled with chemical scale inhibitors and the most common methods to control scale deposition are through continuous injection and scale squeeze treatments although some non-chemical methods can be applied.     

The performance of continuous injection and scale squeeze treatments is traditionally monitored by the analysis of scaling ion and residual inhibitor concentrations (RSI) in collected produced water samples in conjunction with other parameters such as productivity index (PI) and temperatures and pressures throughout the whole production system. However, these methods are not always sufficient to identify the onset of scale formation and there can be some uncertainty as to whether the produced water is fully protected.

Robust integrity management plans are critical for ensuring the lifespan and preventing failures of manmade infrastructure, including the metal (carbon steel) infrastructure that dominates the oil and gas industry. In this sector and others, many types of corrosion can occur on metal infrastructure, including corrosion that involves the participation of microorganisms, commonly referred to as microbiologically influenced corrosion, or MIC. MIC can be difficult to diagnose as the cause of a given infrastructure failure because it is not a stand-alone mechanism – the physical and chemical properties of a system can influence the types of microorganisms that are present and active, while the metabolisms of these microorganisms can influence the surrounding chemistry and physical properties of a system.

Protective coatings are utilized for asset preservation on welded steel potable water tanks. The technology available to the Owner or Specifier is diverse and can be difficult to select the most sustainable solution. Data based service life assessment of the various coating options provides the best avenue for completing life cycle costing estimates for decision making.

In Upstream, CRAs (Corrosion Resistant Alloys) are widely selected to handle seawater and brines in piping, valves, pumps, heat exchangers, vessels, and seawater injection1-4. Also, disposal of produced water is commonly performed through injection into spent fields. Water from a variety of sources including produced water, seawater and surface/fresh water may also be injected to create pressure drive for existing fields. Usually dissolved oxygen (DO) is not fully controlled when there are multiple sources of injection water and sometimes even possibility of injection of fully oxygenated water exists. For oxygenated seawater, the PREN (Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number = %Cr + 3.3 *(%Mo + 0.5 %W) + 16 %N) shall be >40 and limits are applied to the temperature4. Other applications involve Solid CRA or cladded production pipelines which may get flooded with seawater during installation and precommissioning.
