ScaleSorb Ultra 9006 inhibitor successfully pumped two zones in deepwater GoM Challenges • Provide a solid scale inhibitor that can withstand a closure pressure near 7,000 psi (483 bar) without affecting conductivity • Provide a solid scale inhibitor that does not activate until water is produced Results • Placed proppant pack to avoid reversal after screenout • Increased time between necessary remediations on subsea well A deepwater Gulf of Mexico operator presented Baker Hughes, a GE company (BHGE), with produced water chemistry and estimated closure pressure for a well to be completed. The operator had used a traditional solid scale inhibitor in the past but was concerned about the closure pressure on the solid substrate affecting the conductivity of the proppant pac
