Efficient Offshore Scale Removal Without a Rig: Planning, Logistics, and Execution

Abstract: Although the oil industry seeks to increase the worldwide production of hydrocarbons, various well and reservoir problems can severely reduce oil and gas production from individual wells, leading to the requirement for intervention. For example, in mature fields offshore Brazil, production platforms with minimal open work space and without workover rigs have been a challenge for restoring production in wells with serious scaling problems. The scale build-up reduces production, month by month, until a rig has t… Show more

“…Many inefficient and unsafe scale removal techniques like the destructive mechanical method (that is, with that is, explosives) (Alabdulmohsin et al, 2016), the use of aggressive chemical solutions such as like HCl (Hamdy et al, 2014;Vazirian et al, 2016), rig work over to replace the tubing and even differing of production haves unsuccessfully been tried in the past (Guimaraes et al, 2008). Although recently, the mechanical high-pressure water jetting techniques has been widely accepted by the multinational (Bajammal et al, 2013), despite facing back pressure challenges (cavitation).…”
