Scale buildup poses a constant threat to operational efficiency in the oil and gas industry. Industrial systems, including vital pipelines, experience costly blockages due to scale formation. In hydraulic fracturing, scale accumulation within formations severely restricts flow. This impacts oil and gas production efficiency and increases maintenance needs.
Commercial scale inhibitors in hydraulic fracking are essential to combat these challenges in the oil and gas industry. They ensure the unimpeded flow of hydrocarbons. Our high performance scale inhibitors are designed for both water treatments and the hydraulic fracturing process.
Learn how we have utilised new technologies for scale inhibition to safeguard your operations and maximize oil and natural gas output.
Scale can be naturally present in the shale rock or occur during or after the hydraulic fracturing process due to mixing of hydraulic fracturing fluids, surface water, fresh water, deep well injection and fracking chemicals, changes in temperature and pressure and more. This scale can negatively impact production from gas wells by clogging fractures and wellbores, leading to decreased permeability and flow rates.
Scale formation in the oil and gas industry disrupts the thermodynamic equilibrium of produced fluids, leading to the precipitation of minerals, often calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate or barium sulfate. The high total dissolved solids (TDS) content of produced water, incompatible waters mixing such as injected water during deep well injection of fracturing fluid and fracking wastewater during production, particularly those containing high concentrations of calcium, magnesium or sulfate, also contribute significantly to scale formation.
Scale inhibitors are essential in the oil and gas industry. These are chemical additives that:
Boilers benefit from our scale inhibitors. They prevent heat transfer loss. Cooling water circuits also need them. This prevents equipment failure. Unlike reactive methods, our inhibitors offer continuous protection. They ensure sustained efficiency.
Soda ash, also known as sodium carbonate, is used in the oil and gas industry as a scale inhibitor. Scale formation is hindered in a low pH environment. Caustic soda (sodium hydroxide, NaOH) is a scale inhibitor that is used to adjust the pH of drilling fluids and produced water and to improve the effectiveness of other scale inhibitors.
Sunita Hydrocolloids’s advanced scale inhibitor formulations utilise proprietary water chemistry to offer superior performance in demanding high temperature and high pressure conditions. Key features include:
Our scale inhibitors maintain effectiveness even in water with high total dissolved solids. This ensures reliable scale inhibition in challenging environments.
Formulated to perform across a broad pH range. Sunita’s scale inhibitors provide consistent protection in varied water treatment scenarios.
Engineered for stability at high temperatures. Our chemical solutions ensure dependable scale inhibition in demanding applications.
We offer blends that combine powerful scale inhibitors with effective corrosion inhibitors, gelling agents, friction reducers and more additives to increase the effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing and acidizing operations. We also provide formulations with dispersants to further prevent deposition and formation damage.
Expect reliable and predictable scale inhibition with every application of our products. A very low dosage (several ppm) can be sufficient to prevent scale for extended periods.
Our scale inhibitors have a strong track record of successful application in diverse field operations. You can rely on Sunita for proven effectiveness.
