Summary Gas-hydrate inhibition is a serious concern for operators producing at conditions in the hydrate region. As production goes into deeper water, hydrate control grows in importance. Ideally, operators want total hydrate control without the prob

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

Within the past decade, hydraulic fracturing has been proven to improve the efficiency and economics of recovering oil and natural gas from shale formations. In a previous paper (SPE 134414), a summary of treatment results of placing a solid scale in

Solid chemical inhibitors placed in the formation during hydraulic fracturing have provided inhibition protection for up to five years. Deepwater operators, especially, desire longer inhibition periods. This paper provides a summary on treatment resu

In a novel chemical technology development, a robust liquid paraffin inhibitor is adsorbed onto an inert solid matrix. This solid fits within the size distribution range of a 20/40 proppant. As a manufactured product, the solid composite holds suffic

Simple and economical solutions are best affected when open communication exists. In this case study an operator and a specialty chemical supplier worked to reduce both microbial influenced corrosion (MIC) and CO2 corrosion. The process of corrosion

Prolonged chemical inhibition is the desired outcome from placing a solid inhibitor in a formation during the fracturing process. Traditionally liquid inhibitors applied through a squeeze have provided inhibition for up to one year and sometimes long

Multi-year scale inhibition is the desired outcome from placing a scale inhibitor composite in a formation during the fracturing process. Traditionally liquid inhibitors applied through a squeeze have provided inhibition for up to one year. Deepwater

This paper presents a case history of inspecting, cleaning and re-establishing communication in a deepwater pipeline that had plugged because of paraffin deposition over an extended period. Early mitigation attempts did not remove the solid mass caus

It is a well-accepted practice to add production chemicals to a formation through a squeeze process. These are designed to place chemical in the near well area and treat the fluid for scale, paraffin, salt, etc. Now, frac-fluid approved chemicals are
