Development of techniques for detection and dissolution enhancement of mineral deposits in petroleum pipelines using ultrasound. (2002)
Thesis
QURESHI, M.Y. 2002. Development of techniques for detection and dissolution enhancement of mineral deposits in petroleum pipelines using ultrasound. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-2048920

Scale formation in petroleum pipelines causes progressive flow reductions, leading to large production losses and operating costs. The composition and thickness of the scale deposits vary widely, but with present technology they cannot be accurately...

Characterisation and monitoring of mineral deposits in down-hole petroleum pipelines. (2000)
Thesis
CHRISTIDIS, K. 2000. Characterisation and monitoring of mineral deposits in down-hole petroleum pipelines. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-2807327

A major problem in the oil and gas industry is the progressive deposition of scales, wax and hydrates in pipelines, causing large production losses over a period of time. The composition and thickness of these deposits vary widely and cannot be relia... Read More about Characterisation and monitoring of mineral deposits in down-hole petroleum pipelines..
