This book provides a comprehensive introduction to scale management. Starting with an
introduction to oilfield scale including material on predicting the problem and evaluating
treatment options it then discusses various management and inhibition techniques before
presenting squeeze treatments. In turn it explores the automatic optimization of squeeze
designs the use of tracers to estimate scale inhibitor placement and the mathematics of
transport and adsorption in squeeze treatments while also describing the treatment lifecycle
in detail. Further it presents all the steps involved in designing a cost-effective squeeze
treatment for a real-world field case. Given its scope the book will be of interest to
researchers in the field of petroleum engineering especially those specializing in flow
assurance transport in porous media or the modelling and optimization of scale treatment
designs. It also offers a valuable resource for engineers working in the oil industry and for
service companies providing scale management
