摘要: Tubing strings in producing oil wells are often blocked by solid or semisolid deposits that necessitate costly remedial actions to maintain production. We describe here results obtained a set of synchrotron radiation-based microanalytical techniques investigate depth profiles and heterogeneity organic compounds metals series deposit samples formed at different depths tubing from an operational well. Micrometer-scale Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyses using facilities the National Synchrotron Light Source Brookhaven Laboratory presented. Visualization, compositional mapping, high-resolution, nondestructive analysis some main advantages applying synchrotron-based techniques. The indicate profile along same well varies is characterized following trends deeper shallower sa...
