Flow simulator involved in descaling and acidification operations
Saline scales are an undesirable byproduct of secondary water injection recovery. Injection and formation waters are often chemically incompatible, and as a consequence, their mixing can cause saline precipitation in the reservoir, the well-formation interface, and surface and subsurface equipment. Some of this fouling, such as that caused by barium sulfate, is insoluble, and it can cause significant production losses.
Remote Operations Simulation software simulates circulation of fluids involved in descaling and acidification. You can estimate maximum surface pressures during pumping of a given fluid volume at a given flow, all while considering the well geometry.
Descaling and acidification operations are extremely important for the recovery phase in oil wells, and these processes have a great impact on well productivity.
