COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Oil Field Scales. It covers the importance of scale formation in oilfields and the common types of scales found in petroleum operations; the types of oil field scales, causes and mechanisms of scale formation and the impact of scale deposition on oilfield operations; the scale formation in different oilfield environments, laboratory analysis and field detection of scales; the proper monitoring and early detection of scale formation; and the chemical inhibitors for scale prevention and water chemistry control for scale prevention. During this interactive course, participants will learn the scale prevention in water injection systems, mechanical scale removal techniques and chemical scale dissolution methods; the hydrothermal and electrochemical scale removal, downhole and surface scale removal strategies and safety and environmental considerations in scale removal; the advanced scale inhibitor deployment methods, scale management in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations and scale management in subsea and deepwater operations; the artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in scale management; the regulatory compliance and sustainability in scale management; and the risk assessment and troubleshooting in scale management.
