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 Oilfield Scaling Analysis. It covers the common types of scales in petroleum production and the impact of scale deposition on production efficiency; the various types of oilfield scales, mechanisms of scale formation and the factors influencing scale deposition; the impact of scale on oilfield operations including laboratory and field detection of scales; the realtime scale monitoring techniques, water chemistry and scale formation potential; the role of production chemistry in scale deposition; and the risk assessment and mitigation planning. During this interactive course, participants will learn the scale prevention through water chemistry control; the proper selection and application of chemical scale inhibitors; the deployment strategies for scale inhibitors, alternative scale prevention methods and scale prevention in water injection systems; the mechanical scale removal techniques, chemical scale dissolution methods and hydrothermal and electrochemical scale removal; the downhole and surface facility scale removal and safety and environmental considerations in scale treatment; the AI and machine learning in scale prediction and control; and the scale management in enhanced oil recovery (EOR),
