Abstract

Scale Deposition in pipelines is becoming a major concern to oil companies. The accumulations of mineral salts, if not detected and treated, can cause failure of the sensors and reduction of oil production which eventually affect well integrity. In this paper, we present three different methods for the detection of scale deposition using light sensing technique. We have successfully, under laboratory conditions, prepared and detected scale deposition at different time intervals after the scaling process was started. The experimental setup, theoretical consideration and the results are presented and discussed.
