Abstract

Water injection is often used to keep maintainingreservoir pressure. Injected water (high in sulphate) mixeswith formation water (high in barium) leading to the depo-sition of barium sulfate scale in the near wellbore, reser-voir, production tubulars and topside equipment. Bariumsulfate scale is unique scale deposit and the least solubleof the scales. The deposition of oil field scale is a poten-tially damaging problem which reduces fluid flow result-ing in a decline in oil production.
