• 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 ...
    • Review of Iron Sulfide Scale Removal and Inhibition in Oil and Gas Wells: Current Status and Perspectives 

      Hamza A.; Hussein I.A.; Jalab R.; Saad M.; Mahmoud M. ( American Chemical Society , 2021 , Article Review)
      Iron sulfide scale is one of the main types of inorganic scales that block oil and gas wells. Iron sulfide has polymorph crystallinity structures, which complicate its dissolving and inhibition. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is ...
