Preparation and Laboratory Testing of Polymeric Scale Inhibitor Colloidal Materials for Oilfield Mineral Scale Control.

ABSTRACT: Mineral scale refers to the hard crystalline inorganic solid deposit from the water phase. Although scale formation is very common in the natural environment, deposited scale particles can seriously threaten the integrity and safety of various industries, particularly oilfield productions. Scale deposition is one of the three most serious water-related production chemistry threats in the petroleum industry. The most commonly adopted engineering approach to control the scale threat is chemical inhibition by applying scale inhibitor chemicals. Aminophosphonates and polymeric inhibitors are the two major groups of scale inhibitors. To address the drawbacks of conventional inhibitors, scale inhibitor colloidal materials have been prepared as an alternative delivery vehicle of inhibitors for sc
