Scale Converter: A chemical that converts an acid insoluble scale to an acid
soluble material.
Scale Dissolver: A product that chemically dissolves scale.
Scaled Off: Plugged by scale.
Scale Inhibition Squeeze: Placement of a scale inhibitor chemical by inject-
ing it into the formation. The material may absorb, adsorb, or precipitate.
Scale Inhibitor: A chemical that prevents scale from forming in scale min-
eral saturated produced waters.
Scale Prediction: Prediction of where in the wellbore that scale minerals are
