Calcium carbonate crystallization kinetics in relation to surface scale formation in oil and gas pipelines

Published: Jan 1, 2018
Abstract
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) mineral scale is one of the major problems faced by the oil and gas industry; as its deleterious crystallisation process causes serious flow assurance problems in oilfield facilities. In this thesis, a suitable methodology based on experimental and modelling approaches was developed for assessing the crystallisation mechanisms and kinetics of CaCO3 precipitating spontaneously in a bulk solution and at metallic...
