| description | Silica and silicate scale deposition in the production systems resulted in reduced production rates and equipment
damages. Chemical scale inhibition using squeeze method is advantageous for petroleum reservoir conditions.
This paper aims to assess the adsorption and squeeze performance of developed scale inhibitors that consist of
polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers and pteroyl-L-glutamic acid (PGLU). Commercial inhibitor, diethylenetriamine
penta(methylene phosphonic acid), also known as DETPMP, was also used to benchmark the laboratory findings.
Static adsorption test and core flooding were performed to investigate the adsorption characteristics and retention of
the inhibitors in Berea sandstone cores. Simulation was also conducted to estimate the squeeze performance of the
inhibitors. Results revealed that PAMAM-2-PGLU scale inhibitor exhibited the highest adsorption and retention in the
sandstone core. The treatment of PAMAM-2-PGLU and PAMAM-1-PGLU inhibitors increased the core permeabilities.
SQUEEZE IV model predicted that both PAMAM-PGLU inhibitors yielded longer squeeze lifetime than DETPMP inhibitor.
Both experimental and simulation results showed good fit in terms of adsorption and squeeze lifetime. In this paper,
the tested PAMAM-PGLU scale inhibitors have demonstrated better adsorption, retention, and squeeze lifetime in
sandstone formation. They could offer effective and low-toxicity alternatives to commercial inhibitors due to raising
environmental concerns. |
