Iron sulfide scale is one of the main types of inorganic scales that block oil and gas wells.
Iron sulfide has polymorph crystallinity structures, which complicate its dissolving and …

Altering the carbonate wettability is considered as an effective approach for enhancing the
oil recovery from carbonate reservoirs. Wettability alteration from oil-wet to more water-wet …

Natural and anthropogenic chelating ligands play important roles in promoting mineral
dissolution during water-rock interactions. To address the remaining issue of how chelating …

In this study, satisfactory efficacy was found from the combination of the biocide THPS with
the xanthan biopolymer for the control of microbiologically influenced corrosion in SAE 1010 …

Iron sulfide scale is a common problem in the oil and gas industry. The precipitation of the
iron sulfide scale on the well completion tools or inside surface flow lines restricts the flow of …

Iron sulfide scales, particularly pyrite, form in oil and gas underground tubing and surface
equipment thus blocking the flow of fluids and halting production. Therefore, the …

Scale deposition is a critical issue in oil and gas exploration and production processes,
