Abstract:

Barium sulphate scale is becoming a formidable problem in the oil and gas production from natural reservoirs. Once formed it clogs the oil pipelines, resulting in a large economic loss. To understand the behaviour of this highly insoluble material a complete and comprehensive review is presented with a critical discussion on the solubility of Barium sulphate in the presence of different electrolyte systems. It has been suggested that the increased solubility is mainly due to the side reactions of both Barium and sulphate ions, where as the contribution from ionic strength is relatively small.
