Upstream Technology |
As wells age, brine production rates increase and with it, mineral scale potential. In addition, water management must now consider frac water compatibility, optimum mixing rates for injection waters, and compatibility of brines injected into disposal wells. OLI technology helps you to “turn on the lights” in your reservoir. Using brine-mineral equilibrium principles, it is possible to turn a limited water analysis into a representative brine and also into an accurate scaling scenario. OLI Systems brings 38 years of study of the physical-chemical behavior of water to you in the OLI software. |
More information ScaleChem Corrosion in pipelines OLI's Corrosion Analyzer has been effectively used in combination with a fluid flow model for pipelines, to calculate the chemistry effects on the rate of corrosion for a given T, P, and composition. In this case, the fluid flow model output is used to steer the corrosion rate calculations in Corrosion Analyzer. Corrosion Analyzer can also supply dew point information, it can calculate the condensate and the composition of the condensate at any point, and it can generate real-solution Pourbaix diagrams that show the corrosive and passivating speciation for a given T, P, and composition in contact with a metal surface.Learn more Moving to Scale Analyzer OLI and a small consortium of upstream companies are creating an upgraded version of ScaleChem in the OLI Analyzer Studio. Called Scale Analyzer, this program will become available in late 2010 / 2011. |

OLI ScaleChem ScaleChem was designed by production technologists at Shell (in the 1980s) for production applications, and has become an industry standard in upstream companies. ScaleChem is a practical, easy-to-use, and thorough tool for studying mineral scale problems and solutions over all production conditions and compositions. ScaleChem is advanced and widely-used production fluid chemistry software. Here’s why! ScaleChem is predictive to 300 C (600F), 1,500 bar, 70 wt% electrolytes (Na+,Ca+2, Cl-, etc.), and 60 wt% methanol or ethylene glycol. In addition, ScaleChem simultaneously computes scale tendency and deposition at key process points. OLI Stream Analyzer + OLI Flowsheets When expanding applications to include MEG or methanol regeneration, OLI's MSE model in the Steam Analyzer provides an upgrade to the ScaleChem software. Stream Analyzer is a superset of ScaleChem's calculations, presented in a more generalized interface. Ultimately, upsteram clients sometimes move into one of the OLI flowsheet packages for applications that are multi-stage or multi-unit with recirculation streams. Chemistry in Brine Production is a 2- to 4-day lecture and workshop taught by AQSim onsite at your company or at OLI. Please contact AQSim for more details. |
