Scale Removal and Prevention

Hardness ion (Ca[II], Mg[II], and Sr[II] scale can form on well casings from the brines normally coproduced with oil. In severe cases this scale can block the formation and reduce production significantly. Iron scale is often mixed with hardness scale or may itself be sufficient to block formation outlets. EDTA can be used to remove these scales.
