= Oilfield scale inhibition
{wiki=Oilfield_scale_inhibition}
Oilfield scale inhibition refers to the processes and methods used to prevent the formation of scale deposits in oil and gas production systems. Scale is typically a mineral build-up that can occur in pipelines, tanks, and equipment as a result of changes in temperature, pressure, or chemical composition of the produced fluids. Common minerals that form scale include barium sulfate, calcium carbonate, and strontium sulfate.
