Abstract
This chapter deals with the issues of scale inhibition and special chemicals used for this purpose. In certain operations in petroleum industries, such as production, stimulation, and transport, there is some risk of scale deposition. Scaling can occur when a solution becomes supersaturated, which occurs mostly if the temperature changes in the course of injection operations. Also, if two chemicals that will form a precipitate are brought together, a scale can be formed. Therefore, scale inhibition is an important aspect in petroleum industry.
