Iron Sulfide Scale Inhibition in Carbonate Reservoirs حسب Gasimli, Nijat

"…Moreover, the presence of the salts (CaCl2 and MgCl2) considerably decreased the adsorption of 10 wt % EDTA to 56% (CaCl2) and 52% (MgCl2) and caused nearly 20% more permeability reduction, while more inhibitor soaking time resulted in comparably higher adsorption and lesser permeability diminution. …"

Prospects Of Amino Acids And Ionic Liquids As Natural Gas Hydrate Inhibitors For Offshore Flow Assurance حسب Qureshi, M. Fahed Aziz

"…The inhibitors tend to show better hydrate inhibition effect at low pressures (40 bars) and their inhibition effect decreases as the pressure rises. At the same concentration (10 wt%), the ammonium-based ionic liquid [EA][Of] provided the inhibition effect similar to MEG and at the higher concentration (20 wt%) the amino acid glycine provided better hydrate inhibition effect than the MEG. …"
