The state of the art in scale inhibitor squeeze treatment

Abstract Nanotechnology has brought about revolutionary innovations in many aspects of the oil and gas industry. Nanotechnology generates nanomaterials, which are natural or synthetic materials with at least one dimension at the nanoscale (1–100 nm). Among them, nanoparticles (NPs), in particular, have large surface areas and high volume concentrations. Given these dimensional effects, nanomaterials acquire unique mechanical, chemical, thermal, and magnetic properties and, therefore, have a superior performance than conventional micro and macro materials in a range of oil and gas field applications. Nanomaterials can also be custom functionalized by chemical modifications to meet specific technical requirements. In this review, the developments in the recent years concerning the research on nanotechnology in drilling, completion, reservoir protection, enhance-oil-recovery (EOR), sensing and imaging techniques, stimulation techniques in oil and gas migration and accumulation have been summarized. The aim of this paper was to provide a comprehensive overview of the scientific progress of nanotechnology in the oil and gas research areas, identifying the existing barriers and challenges, and evaluating the technical and economic prospects in this field.

Sorption Study of ?-AlO(OH) Nanoparticle-Crosslinked Polymeric Scale Inhibitors and Their Improved Squeeze Performance in Porous Media

A Novel and Comprehensive Study of Polymeric and Traditional Phosphonate Inhibitors for High-Temperature Scale Control

Sulfonated polymers are used in the oil field for scale inhibition. In this study, Al-sulfonated polycarboxylic acid (Al-SPCA) hybrid nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by taking an environmentally friendly approach. The particle size of these materials was controlled at approximately 80 nm by applying hydrothermal synthetic methods with urea as a slow-neutralization agent. Reaction parameters (e.g., concentration of salt solution, reaction time, urea concentration, and ionic strength) were investigated to optimize NP synthesis. The mobility of Al-SPCA hybrid NPs decreases dramatically in a 1% (wt/wt) KCl solution. With phosphinopolycarboxylic acid (PPCA) as a dispersant, NPs were well-suspended in a 1% KCl solution. Absorption of PPCA by hybrid NPs increases their negative surface charge and decreases particle deposition. The retention and flowback performance of hybrid NPs was compared with the neat-chemical-squeeze simulation in ground-core-column experiments. The results show that the slow release of sulfonated polymer from solid hybrid NPs in a porous medium may have potential inhibitor-treatment application in the oil field.
