Our Services

Scale Prediction

Scale Consult provides advanced scale prediction and simulation services for all types of oil and gas processes—from wellbore to full topside systems. Using precise thermodynamic modelling, we assess when and where scale types such as sulfates (BaSO₄, SrSO₄, CaSO₄), carbonates (CaCO₃, FeCO₃), sulfides (FeS), and halite (NaCl) may form, and how it impacts production efficiency.

Scale Prediction

MEG Systems

Mono Ethylene glycol (MEG) systems effectively prevent hydrate formation in pipelines but introduce complex chemical challenges. When formation water mixes with MEG, salts accumulate in the loop and can cause severe scaling if unmanaged. Understanding MEG chemistry—particularly its effects on salt solubility, gas solubility, and pH—is essential for designing efficient and reliable regeneration and reclamation processes.

MEG Systems

Water chemistry

Water is present in almost all oil and gas systems, causing scale, corrosion, emulsions, acid gas release, and hydrate formation. Accurate water behaviour modelling is essential for safe process design, but most EOS-based tools cannot adequately predict things such as gas solubility, salt solubility, pH—and other critical parameters for the water phase. Using ScaleSim and other aqueous chemistry models, Scale Consult can assist you in assessing production problems related to water.

Water chemistry

Courses

Scale Consult offers courses in scale prediction, water chemistry, thermodynamics, PVT, hydrates, and phase equilibria—ranging from short sessions to multi-day programmes. We also provide dedicated ScaleSim user courses, including two-day basic, one-day advanced, and three-day combined programmes. Contact us to learn more or book a course.

Tailor-made simulations tools

Scale Consult can develop tailor-made simulation tools, either as stand-alone programs or for integration into existing software packages. Examples include:

pH calculator – enter water chemistry, pressure, and temperature; pH is calculated automatically
Online scale calculators – automated tools that integrate with control systems for real-time monitoring
Gas solubility calculator – determines solubility of gases and hydrocarbons in water
Water phase equilibria – calculates water content in gas phases and condensation conditions
PVT flash calculator – computes oil/gas phase compositions and properties
Hydrate calculator – determines hydrate formation temperatures and required inhibitor concentrations
