Abstract | ||||
This work presents doped MgZnO2 nano emulsion capsules as a novel approach for reducing calcite scale formation in oil production. The nano emulsion capsules are synthesized via ultrasonication and precipitation methods, with morphology and size distribution analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope [TEM] and dynamic light scattering (DLS).` with an average particle size of 50 nm. Static scale inhibition tests showed over 90% inhibition efficiency at a Nano emulsion concentration of 100 mg/L. Rigorous static and dynamic scale inhibition testing precipitation and showcases remarkable efficiency exceeding 80% in preventing calcite deposition under simulated conditions. Gravimetric validates cation and online pressure monitoring validate superior performance compared to conventional inhibitors, with up to 30% enhancement in mitigation. The controlled release properties of the Nano emulsion capsule allow for persistent scale inhibition even after 72 hours of continuous operation. Furthermore, ecotoxicity evaluations through bioassays affirm the eco-friendly characteristics of the Nano emulsion technology. As a whole, this research shows how highly promising doped MgZnO2 Nano emulsion capsules are as a long-term, highperforming solution to scale-related problems in the oil sector. | ||||
