Development of a New Borax-Based Formulation for the Removal of Pyrite Scales
(
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
(
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 ...
Calcite Scale Inhibition Using Environmental-Friendly Amino Acid Inhibitors: DFT Investigation
(
American Chemical Society
, 2021 , Article)
Scale prevention is a long-term challenge. It is essential for ensuring the optimum utilization of oil and gas wells and minimizing economic losses due to disruptions in the hydrocarbon flow. Among the commonly precipitated ...
Cost-effective alkylammonium formate-based protic ionic liquids for methane hydrate inhibition
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
In light of current concerns about environmental impact, ionic liquids have been tested in a number of industrial applications, including gas purification, lubrication, and catalysis. In this work, cost-effective ...
Pyrite Scale Removal Using Green Formulations for Oil and Gas Applications: Reaction Kinetics
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
Pyrite is one of the toughest iron sulfide scales to remove, which causes major problems in oil and gas production by damaging production equipment. The use of inorganic acid in iron sulfide scale removal particularly ...
Development of efficient formulation for the removal of iron sulphide scale in sour production wells
(
Wiley-Liss Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
Iron sulphide scale, which exists in different forms, is common in sour oil and gas production wells. Iron sulphide hard scales are difficult to remove with acids, requiring mechanical intervention or the replacement of ...
Pyrite-scale removal using glutamic diacetic acid: A theoretical and experimental investigation
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)
, 2021 , Article)
Iron sulfide scale causes major losses in both upstream and downstream sectors of the hydrocarbon industry. Pyrite is one of the most-difficult forms of iron sulfide scale from a removal point of view. Inorganic acids such ...
Electrochemical removal of pyrite scale using green formulations
(
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 ...
Ab Initio molecular dynamics of the dissolution of oilfield pyrite scale using borax
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
Iron sulfide scales, particularly pyrite, form in oil and gas underground tubing and surface equipment thus blocking the flow of fluids and halting production. Therefore, the development of physicochemical processes for ...
Molecular Design of Novel Chemicals for Iron Sulfide Scale Removal
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2021 , Article)
Scale deposition is a pertinent challenge in the oil and gas industry. Scales formed from iron sulfide are one of the troublous scales, particularly pyrite. Moreover, the use of biodegradable environmentally friendly ...
