Abstract:Desired production chemicals such as scale inhibitors, paraffin inhibitors and corrosion inhibitors can be adsorbed onto a proppant-sized solid particle for controlled release. This solid additive was first introduced for field application through a fracture stimulation operation in 2004. More than 25,000 (mostly in North America) wells have been treated with this solid inhibitor since then. In this strategy, the solid inhibitor additive is pumped with the proppant and distributed evenly throughout the created… Show more
