Training Course: Understanding Inorganic Scaling – Mechanisms, Control and Management
Ticketed Event
Instructor(s) Gordon M. Graham

This course is an introduction to inorganic scaling. It includes an overview of the different types of inorganic oilfield scales encountered during production, and the various methods used to control them. Field examples will illustrate the importance of an effective scale management strategy.

Topics:

  • Why scale forms and how to treat it, including both chemical and engineering solutions
  • Conventional acid soluble scales (carbonates) and non-acid soluble scales (sulphates) as well as other less common scales such as sulphides
  • The chemistry of scale inhibition as well as the benefits and limitations of different chemical inhibitors
  • The squeeze process, the mechanisms involved, and the various chemical and reservoir factors that control the treatment lifetime, as well other chemical deployment methods such as continuous injection, etc.

Learning Objectives:

  • Scale removal, including both mechanical and chemical methods
  • The influence of initial field design and varying production conditions on the control of inorganic scales
  • The use of modelling tools such as scale prediction software, reservoir simulators and near well-bore treatment models
  • A technical, economic, and risk-based analysis process for estimating total field scale management costs for new field developments

Throughout the course extensive reference is made to real field case studies and other published works to illustrate the importance of the various aspects covered.

Training Course: Flow Assurance-Managing Flow Dynamics and Production Chemistry
Ticketed Event
Instructor(s) Abul Jamaluddin

This course presents a holistic approach to flow assurance. The course will introduce technologies, workflows and their deployment for the identification, characterisation and management of flow impediments, such as slugging and precipitation of organic and inorganic solids. The course will present best practices and fit-for-purpose design solutions for minimising the risk of flow stoppage while transporting hydrocarbons from “Pore to Sales Meter.” The principles will be demonstrated using field examples from around the world. 

Topics:

  • Introduce key impediments to flow, including slugging and precipitation of organic and inorganic solids, with examples from various challenging environments
  • Review technologies for capturing fluid samples and characterising their PVT properties
  • Define current measurement and modeling approaches for characterising production-chemistry impediments, such as asphaltenes, paraffin waxes, hydrates and inorganic scales
  • Introduce fluid flow and heat transfer concepts and their relationship in precipitation of organic and inorganic solids
  • Demonstrate the value of a systematic and holistic flow assurance program for production systems and operations, using case studies from various field locations around the globe

Session Chairpersons Katherine Hull - Aramco Americas, Sam Lewis - Halliburton Cementing
In this session, the (geo)chemistry of subsurface carbon dioxide and hydrogen storage will be explored. This includes chemical processes such as mineralization, adsorption behavior, and wettability alteration while also considering storage prospects. In addition, conversion of CO2 to value-added oilfield chemistry products or use in EOR processes is discussed.

11  Water Management Through the Field Life Waterway 6-8
Session Chairpersons Giulia Verri Ness - Flow Confidimus Ltd., Nan Zhang - Hess Corp.
Water management is critical through the lifecycle of a well, from drilling, completion, early production to late field life. After reviewing the last 50 years of SPE Oilfield Chemistry events, this session will focus on field, modeling and laboratory studies of various water management issues such as microbial control and produced water re-injection. An insight on AI for water management is also presented as well as new experimental data on water shut off technologies.

12  Inorganic Scales II Montgomery
Session Chairpersons Zhaoyi Dai - China University of Geosciences - Wuhan, Ya Liu - Baker Hughes
In this two-part session we'll discuss how scales can cause issues in oil and gas production and the relevant ongoing research for better solutions. These sessions include studies of scale inhibitor interaction and transportation in a reservoir, research on unconventional scales such as halite, silicate, and siderite, as well as EOR polymer impact on scale inhibitors. We will also review new types of scale inhibitors and dissolvers, synergistic scale inhibitor blends, and field case studies of scale modeling, inhibitor applications, and inhibitor detections.
