Abstract:Radioactive material contaminated, hard crystalline scale deposition on ESP & downhole equipment was resulting in frequent breaking of ESP shaft in a multilateral openhole producer. Extremely high workover cost in frequent replacement of downhole equipment and associated radioactive hazards, necessecitated a strategic MDT approach. Software usage and extensive laboratory backup helped finding the best possible option to mitigate this problem. Three possible well treatment options were investigated. Scale i… Show more
