Scale formation is a vital issue in many industries leading to low operational efficiencies and economical losses. A good management strategy must be put in place to prevent the scale formation from building up or having further occurrence. Just as it has been acknowledged over the years that scale prevention is better than waiting until it forms and then taking remedial action. Many diverse expertise that could possibly be deployed by the oilfield operatives to decrease the risk of scale formation, control scale formation and to eliminate it if formed within down hole and topside oil/gas facilities are critically reviewed. With the important development and improvements in chemistry and fluid finish for effective scale inhibitions, oilfield scale can be distant from inside the tubular without risk to the steel tubing. In order to prevent scale in an as environmentally friendly way as possible, a good understanding of the chemical background for scale formation is necessary. There are fundamental differences between different scales that can lead to more scaling if the wrong choices are made. To avoid all extra costs related to scaling is unrealistic. But the costs can be minimized by thoroughly risk analyses and a focus on scale prevention. This paper presents a complete review on scale formations in oil industries and its potential impact during process.
