OLI ScaleChem

ScaleChem predicts mineral scaling potentials of 70 solids for virtually any oil and gas well and processing facility in the world.

The program computes the gas-liquid-oil-solid chemistry of produced fluids, and provides the operator and engineer with vital chemical data about their wells, surface facilities, and water injection and disposal operations. ScaleChem works with brines, gases, and hydrocarbons, collected as samples and input into the program. Calculation types include a generalized scale scenario for well profiles; mixing waters to find safe (non-scaling) ratios; reservoir saturation to simulate downhole conditions; and facilities wth simple mix and separate abilities to simulate collection and disposal.
