  • Patent number: 11952534
    Abstract: A joint application process of two treatments, scale removal and inhibitor squeeze injection, is described herein. Through the simultaneous positioning inside the reservoir, it can be applied in scale removal operations for carbonate formations, such as the pre-salt case. Accordingly, there is a way to improve the efficiency of reservoir management, through an innovation in the scaling management process.

  • Publication number: 20230407726
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and process for assisted autonomous treatment for removing and/or inhibiting scale with desulfated seawater on pre-salt production platforms, using production facilities and injection water, without the need of using a stimulation vessel or a workover rig.

  • Patent number: 11834927
    Abstract: This invention contains a method focused on increasing the water saturation of the reservoir by injecting industrial water into the well via SPU, thus diluting the concentration of salts, such as halite (sodium chloride). When the oil passes through the gas lift mandrel, this dilution will allow a part of the BSW water to evaporate, however, the amount of water that will remain in the oil will be sufficient to keep the salts in solution, thus scale formation will not occur and therefore no loss of production will occur. One of the focus areas of the method of this invention are high-temperature and low-BSW production reservoir wells. The solution of this invention minimizes the frequency of well treatments, avoiding loss of production due to well stoppage. The technical advantages of the method are increased reliability for SPU, increased NPV of operations and increased safety due to the reduction of operations with participation of the stimulation vessel.

  • Publication number: 20230054645
    Abstract: The present invention addresses to a method of removing scale from the DHSV of the oil production string aiming at maintaining the production of the wells and thus avoiding the loss of production. First, a neutralizing solution is placed in the service line, before pumping the scale removing solution through the string to act on the DHSV. Next, the acid is pumped into the production string to react with the calcium carbonate scale. After the time for the dissolution of the scale inside the DHSV, the well is opened for production by the service line. The spent acid is mixed with the neutralizing solution inside the service line, reducing its corrosiveness in relation to the service line, contributing to its preservation.

  • Publication number: 20230002667
    Abstract: The present invention proposes a combined treatment of scale removal and inhibition in reservoir rock (inhibition squeeze), by using inhibitors derived from organophosphonic acid, in acidic medium, aiming at minimizing the intervention time in well scale mitigation operations, in addition to reducing costs per treatment and the risks associated with the process.

  • Publication number: 20220341291
    Abstract: During meeting for planning operations for scale removal and scale inhibitor squeeze treatment in wells, the possibility of the manifold being partially incrusted with scale raised considering the more critical mixture of water produced. The proposed solution is a method of treatment for removing scale from a manifold. Said method uses the geothermal heating of the exploration reservoir to heat a chemical removal solution (50). Heating is required to ensure the temperature is in a range that is also suitable for conducting the removal reaction, since the distance that the solution travels to the manifold (20) e the low temperature of the underwater environment make the reaction occur inefficiently, as in the case of pre-salt.
