Abstract In the Rocky Mountain region of the United States, high-salinity brines (total dissolved solids > 250, 000 mg/L) present during oil and gas production cause severe scale problems in the Williston Basin. The scales include not only calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, barium sulfate, strontium sulfate, but also sodium chloride (halite). This paper presents the development of test methods and their corresponding testing results for scale inhibitor evaluations in the laboratory and their applications in the field for high-salinity brines. It is well known that there is no effective test method for halite scale inhibitor laboratory testing due to the difficulty of controlling the amount of halite precipitation and reproducibility in the test. The evaluation of scale inhibitor performance was conducted by using a tube-blocking test and a static bottle test with synthetic high-salinity brines from the Williston Basin. Two sets of brines were designed, based on the field brine, and were tested with two methods. One set of brine was for halite scale inhibitor evaluation by mixing near-saturated NaCl synthetic brine with a highly concentrated brine of CaCl2·2H2O + NaCl. The second set of brine was designed to evaluate scale inhibitor performance on calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, barium sulfate, and strontium sulfate by modified brines. Three types of scale inhibitors were used for the performance evaluations, including halite scale inhibitors, general scale inhibitors, and a multifunctional scale inhibitor. The lab test results showed the multifuntinal scale inhibitor exhibited good scale inhibition performance for both sets of scale testing. Successful scale inhibitor implementations in the field applications and case history are also presented in this paper.

Facing at the situation that a large amount of BaSO4/SrSO4, which seriously impacts on oil production operation scale, has been yielded during oilfield production, three kinds of scale inhibitor (TS-09, TH-60 and PBTCA) were collected from oilfield for comprehensive evaluation. The results show that the three kinds of scale inhibitor have certain scale inhibition effect to BaSO4/SrSO4, and the influence of different water quality is obvious. When TH-60 concentration was 100 mg/L, its inhibition rate to BaSO4 has reached 95%. In comparison, scale inhibition effect of TH-60 to BaSO4/SrSO4 is better than the others. TH-60 is more suitable for Huaqing oilfield than TS-09 and PBTCA, concentrations range in 100-180 mg/L especially.

Prothrombin Activation

SummaryIn this paper an inhibitor is described that is found in hemophilic plasma and serum different from any till now described inhibitor. The inhibitor only inhibits prothrombin activation in the “intrinsic clotting systems”. This inhibitor is probably not present in normal human plasma or serum. It is destroyed by ether and freeze drying, is labile to acid and storage at room temperature. It is stable upon dialysis and has not been adsorbed on barium sulfate, aluminum hydroxide or kaolin. It precipitates at 50% v/v saturation with alcohol. The nature of this inhibitor seems to be a protein or lipoprotein.Factor VIII was isolated from hemophilic plasma. The amount isolated was the same as from normal plasma and the activity properties were not different. Hemophiliacs have normal amounts of factor VIII.

Oxalate Ion

SummaryHeparinized blood or plasma coagulates if, after addition of oxalate, recalcification follows. Of the decalcifying agents only oxalate ion has been suitable for demonstrating this phenomenon. Oxalate seem to accomplish two different roles connected with this effect: a fundamental one, i. e., to sensitize a heparinlipoprotein complex to the action of an anti-heparin factor found in normal plasma or serum and a secondary one, related to its capacity to adsorb this antiheparin factor. The latter is removable by centrifugation. This anti-heparin oxalate factor, which is able to counteract the action of heparin after previous addition of oxalate, was found in sequestrened, Dowex 50 resin plasma or in serum, but is not active in citrated plasma. This factor was removed from plasma by adsorption with barium sulfate, aluminium hydroxide or calcium oxalate and was eluted from these adsorbants after incubation with saline.

SummaryA simple new procedure is reported for the isolation of canine, bovine, porcine, and human fibrinogen. Two molar β-alanine is used to precipitate fibrinogen from barium sulfate adsorbed plasma. The procedure is characterized by dependability and high yields. The material is 95% to 98% clottable protein but still contains impurities such as plasminogen and fibrin-stabilizing factor. Plasminogen may be removed by adsorption with charcoal. The fibrinogen preparations exhibit marked stability to freezing, lyophilization, and dialysis. Epsilon-amino-n-caproic acid and gamma-aminobutyric acid which were also studied have the property of precipitating proteins from plasma but lack the specificity for fibrinogen found with β-alanine.
