Conducting Barite Scale Formations in Oil Production Reservoirs
6 Jan 2015Barite scale formation in oil production reservoirs is a serious problem. The scale forms when precipitation occurs from supersaturated solutions. This may decrease the efficiency of oil production and can even cause an emergency shutdown. To prevent such scale formation during oil production, inhibitors are commonly used, but it is important to study the formation rate of the scale under relevant oil production conditions. In this application note, the barite (barium sulfate) precipitation was studied under relevant oil production conditions.

PumpsLaboratory pumps are devices used to move liquids and gases by vacuum or positive displacement. The pressures/vacuums generated are determined by the type of pump used. High vacuum pumps include diffusion, ion, roots and turbopumps; for primary/medium vacuum applications see rotary vane pumps, scroll & diaphragm pumps. For the positive displacement of liquids explore a range of syringe and peristaltic pumps, as well as fluid aspirators.
