The presence of water in an oil field brings with it the potential for mineral scale formation. Scale deposition from many mineral sources, including calcium carbonate and sulfates of barium, calcium and strontium, creates flow assurance challenges for operators from the near wellbore to production tubing and topside processing equipment. An ideal scale management program maximizes hydrocarbon production and minimizes the cost of scale control, thereby maintaining the economic viability of the operation.
