... ABSTRACT Calcium carbonate scale, the most common oil field scale, normally forms from three-phase fluid systems at various downhole locations. The basic scale formation mechanism of CaCO 3 in oil field operations was explained in a recent publication [ 1 ]. However, only the very basic model...

... independently adjustable from 98.5 to 394 inches, cycles from 1.2 to 5 strokes per minute, and up to a 4 to 1 ratio of upstroke speed to downstroke speed, or vice versa. All of these adjustments may be made while the unit is in operation. Further, a built-in load cell permits the taking of load vs. stroke...

..., and many more. In petroleum operations, many of the chemicals used could also be called polymers, including bentonite and lignosulfonates. In this paper, only the products normally considered polymers by oil field personnel will be covered. These are all organic chemicals and usually are sold as powders...

... telephone manufacturer and, borrowing some of their techniques and equipment, came up with a similar system. Each could be described as a select check-before-operate system, operating in a quiescent mode. QUIESCENT SYSTEMS A quiescent system has no parts or circuits in motion when at rest. In this kind...

High adaptability to unattended operation and remote supervisory control. High treating capacity which makes...

.... It is only in comparatively recent years that gas production has grown to be a major part of the picture. Oil production has years of history and tradition behind it and, as a consequence, has had a longer period in which operating customs could solidify into general practices, standards, and codes. Second...

Also to advance methods by which LACT unit maintenance costs can be minimized, both when specifying unit components at time of purchase, and during the operation of the unit. The decrease in production costs normally realized from LACT unit installations can...
