Salt deposits on oilfields of Noyabrsk region: classification, composition and structure

摘要

The increased water production from oilfields in Noyabrsk Region, Western Siberia, has resulted in a growing number of wells subject to scale formation and deposition. The produced water is the main source of salts precipitating as solids. Efficient scale inhibition largely depends on the composition and structure of the deposits. The article details the results of the composition analysis of sediments sampled from electrical centrifugal submersible pumps on Noyabrsk group of oilfields, Western Siberia. The classification of sediments is presented. The results obtained may be used for the development of scale inhibition program in the Noyabrsk region.
