    • Application of DFT in iron sulfide scale removal from oil and gas wells 

      Onawole A.; Hussein I.; Saad M.; Ahmed M.; Aparicio S. ( European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers, EAGE , 2019 , Conference Paper)
      Scale formation including those formed by iron sulfides have been a major hassle in the upstream sector of the oil and gas industry for many decades. Iron Sulfide scales including pyrite (FeS2) and troilite (FeS) often ...

    • Development of a New Borax-Based Formulation for the Removal of Pyrite Scales 

      Ahmed M.; Hussein I.A.; Onawole A.T.; Saad M.A. ( American Chemical Society , 2020 , Article)
      In the oil and gas industry, pyrite forms one of the most hardened scales in reservoirs, which hinders the flow of fluids. Consequently, this leads to blockage of the downhole tubular, formation damage, and complete shutdown ...

    • Dissolution kinetics of different inorganic oilfield scales in green formulations 

      Ahmed M.; Hussein I.A.; Onawole A.T.; Saad M.A.; Mahmoud M. ( American Chemical Society , 2020 , Article)
      Scale mineral deposition is a critical problem that hinders the daily production of oil and gas fields. Chemical removal of these scales, based on the scale type, is common. In this paper, borax and diethylene tremaine ...

    • Electrochemical removal of pyrite scale using green formulations 

      Ahmed M.; Hussein I.A.; Onawole A.T.; Saad M.A.; Khaled M. ( Nature Research , 2021 , Article)
      Pyrite scale formation is a critical problem in the hydrocarbon production industry; it affects the flow of hydrocarbon within the reservoir and the surface facilities. Treatments with inorganic acids, such as HCl, results ...
