Qısa məlumat

This paper presents research into how electromagnetic and ultrasonic fields affect the inhibition of calcium carbonate crystallization. It shows that resonant-wave electromagnetic exposure effectively prevents scaling in wells equipped with electric centrifugal pumps, resulting in >6x mean time between repairs. This technology can help significantly reduce the usage of oilfield reagents to prevent or address scaling, which means lesser environmental burden.
