Master Scale Inhibitor

Made in USA

MSI-700 is a partially neutralized, water soluble, broad spectrum mineral scale inhibitor for use in oil and gas production operations. It is a highly effective scale inhibitor for preventing the formation and deposition of the common oilfield scales, including: calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, strontium sulfate, and barium sulfate. The product can be applied continuously, either downhole or at the surface, or in a scale inhibitor squeeze. When used in scale inhibitor squeeze treatments, MSI-700 provides unattended scale control for long periods of time. When used as an additive in hydraulic fracturing operations, MSI-700 provides protection from scale deposition caused by the introduction of water that may be incompatible with the native reservoir brine.

Product Application

MSI-700 may be applied continuously downhole via capillary string, continuously into the surface flowlines or by scale inhibitor squeeze treatments. MSI-700 is also frequently used as a scale inhibitor additive in hydraulic fracturing. An atomizer is highly recommended for downhole capillary applications. Typical treating ranges vary depending on the severity of the scale potential, but usually range from 5 to 20 ppm. For hydraulic fracturing operations, a dose rate of 50 to 100 ppm is recommended.

Advantages

MSI-700 is effective in preventing scale deposition at relatively low dosages. The product is effective against the common oilfield scales, both carbonate and sulfates. MSI-700 does not contain flammable components and therefore will neither burn nor support combustion. The active component contains phosphorous, which is easily detected using common oilfield laboratory techniques, making residual inhibitor measurements fast and accurate. The active component is thermally stable to temperatures in excess of 350° F (175° C). The product is soluble in high TDS brines with excellent calcium ion compatibility.
