Carbonate sca1 e d~posits have been determined to be a maJor cause of downhole screen plugging in steam stimualted wells in several L1oydmi nster, Canada heavy oi 1 reservoi rs. Lab experiments and anal yses of produced fluids have identified the most likely mechanism of scale formation, and a simple method of using compositional data to determine whether downhole scaling is occurring is presented.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
