.... Traditionally, an acid pickle treatment is performed prior to such treatments to remove the potential contaminants. Acid pickling, while being effective, presents significant problems with safety, the environment and disposal of acidic fluids that return to the surface only partially spent. An alternative...

... Abstract Traditional "Best Practices" completion procedures recommend an acid pickle treatment to clean-out all tubulars in a wellbore prior to pumping an acid treatment or a "solids-free" completion brine system. The potential contaminants (iron oxidation, hydrocarbon deposits and pipe dope...

... acquisition system and a microcomputer is set to perform on-line processing and saving data. A titanium contamination syringe pump can perform if necessary, injections of 500 cm 3 of oil or electrolyte solutions up to pressures of 10 MPa.

.... This technology separates contaminants from soil. Contaminated soil is heated in a chamber where water, organic contaminants and certain metals are vaporized. Most of our wastes treated so far are pseudo-oil-based mud cuttings using the High Temperature Thermal Desorption (HTTD) units at 400 to 800 °C (752...

... Abstract Regardless of the existence of regulatory constraints, fiduciary risk assessment, for any environmental liability is the art of defining the probability that contamination will occur in the first instance. Following its occurrence assessment and quantification of the volume...

... Abstract The risk assessment process can be used as a strategic planning tool to manage environmental risks in the oil industry. Risk assessment allows for evaluation of clean up levels at contaminated sites based on reducing human health risk to acceptable levels while selecting the most cost...
