Abstract: Provided herein are methods for inhibiting the formation of scale on equipment in contact with a produced fluid containing a scale-forming divalent cation. Such methods can comprise adding an activated alginate to the produced fluid in an amount effective to react with the divalent cation in the produced fluid to form an activated alginate complex; and separating the activated alginate complex from the produced fluid. Methods can further comprise recycling the activated alginate from the activated alginate complex by dissolving the activated alginate complex. The activated alginate can be prepared by thermally modifying an alginate precursor at a temperature of from 80° C. to 180° C. for a period of at least 24 hours. The activated alginate can be in the form of a solution including 0.1% to 10% by weight activated alginate, based on the total weight of the solution. The activated alginate can exhibit increased solubility in water and kinetics of complexation with the divalent cation compared to the alginate precursor.

Abstract: A method for inhibiting the formation, deposition and adherence of scale to metallic and other surfaces in the equipment, vessels and/or piping of facilities for the handling of oil and gas produced fluid is disclosed. An effective scale inhibiting amount of alginate is added to a produced fluid containing a scale-forming divalent cation. The alginate effectively cross-links with a scale-forming divalent cation, e.g., calcium, forming an alginate gel for subsequent separation and removal from the produced fluid.

Abstract: The instant application pertains to a process for improving or managing the recycling of monoethylene glycol from an oil and gas operation with more efficient and cost-effective monitoring. The process comprises repeatedly testing an aqueous solution comprising monoethylene glycol using a test strip to obtain results for various known parameters. The results can be calibrated versus the known parameters to determine an adjustment to the test strip result.
