Scale Inhibition

We are driving solutions for your toughest scale problems in oil and gas production. Our innovative, proprietary technology effectively controls scale formation significantly improving production well efficiency and extending well life cycle. This technology is designed to work in the varied and challenging down-hole water conditions encountered in today’s environments.

Innovative and Flexible Technology

Kemira has the right products to treat common oilfield scales and scaling conditions for different water qualities, pressures and temperatures. We have unique chemistry for treatment of barium sulfate, calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate scaling under severe conditions of high ion concentration, as well as high temperatures and pressures. Our scale control additives are tolerant to water hardness and designed to function through varied modes of action including threshold control, crystal modification and dispersion.
