Scale Control and Management
Course Description
This five-day course is designed to provide your valuable attendees with a comprehensive knowledge of Scale Control and Management in the oilfield. The course will address the recommended practices according to field experience of oilfield Chemists and Petroleum Engineers through E&P companies. New chemicals and technologies will be provided in the course to cope with the industry trends.

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

 Production Engineers
