Scale Control and Management training course will make a profound difference to attendees’ Flow Assurance capabilities. The program will help the attendees to build a robust background about Mineral Scale Management and enable them to perform the following points:

• Define the most-common types of oilfield scales.
• Get an overview about the root causes of scale deposition
• Identify major scale deposition threats and how to mitigate them
• Understand the different approaches of scale inhibition
• Implement different scale prediction methodologies using correlations and software packages
• Get familiar about scale prediction techniques using machine learning (ML) and computationalfluid dynamics (CFD)
• Get involved with a stock of literature papers discussing case studies and actual cases
• Network with a variety of influential personnel in Scale Control and Management
