Oilfield Scale Management

Course Overview

Scaling has become a significant challenge in the oil and gas industry, particularly as operations extend deeper into reservoirs and further offshore. Companies invest billions of dollars in managing oilfield scaling, yet often with limited success. The effectiveness of these efforts is hindered by three primary factors: (1) Actions are not executed systematically, (2) There is no comprehensive approach, and (3) There is a lack of in-depth understanding of the mechanisms behind scale formation.

This Oilfield Scale Management online training offers a unique opportunity to gain a thorough understanding of oilfield scaling—its formation, management, and solutions. The Energy online training course is developed from years of field experience, theoretical research, and proven effectiveness across the industry. You will gain insights into scale management practices that go beyond the standard knowledge provided by chemical suppliers or other training course. By the end of the online training course, you will learn how to minimize costs while maximizing efficiency, ensuring robust production, reducing well workovers, cutting chemical consumption, and creating synergies across your assets.

This Oilfield Scale Management online training course will cover:

  • Common examples of scaling issues
  • Causes of scale formation
  • The mechanisms behind scaling
  • The main types of scale encountered in the oil and gas industry
  • Techniques for preventing and remediating scale
  • How to set up a comprehensive scaling management system

Course Objectives
