Abstract
A production string and method of preventing accumulation of a compositional material in a production string. An inhibitor strip is disposed in a fluid inflow device of the production string. Fluid is received at the inhibitor strip in the fluid inflow device from a formation. The inhibitor strip includes a chemical inhibitor that interacts with a chemical in the fluid to reduce the production of the compositional material in the production string.
Claims15
A method of preventing production of a compositional material in a production string, comprising:
- disposing an inhibitor strip in a fluid inflow device of the production string, the inhibitor strip having a coating of a chemical inhibitor on a surface of the inhibitor strip;
- and
- receiving a fluid at the fluid inflow device from a formation to flow across the inhibitor strip, wherein lithe chemical inhibitor interacts with a chemical in the fluid to reduce the production of the compositional material in the production string.
A production string, comprising:
- a fluid inflow device;
- and
- an inhibitor strip disposed in contact with the fluid inflow device, the inhibitor strip having a coating of a chemical inhibitor on a surface of the inhibitor strip that interacts with chemicals in a fluid flowing through the fluid inflow device and across the inhibitor strip to reduce the production of a compositional material in the production string.
