Abstract

Dun oil field is an important income source for the Indonesian government. In the oil industry, built up of scale and corrosion of the production equipment can hamper distribution of crude oil. This research aim at studying the factors that effect the formation of scale, specially due to acid levels in relation to alkalinity. Analysis was done using the Stiff Davis method using water media, to predict the probability level of scale formation. Samples were obtained from 4 different production wells, namely well A, B, C and D. Water from the production wells were separated from the oil and dirt using flocculants. Water content was analyzed 1, 4, 21, and 28 hours after sampling. Research results showed that there was no significant difference for the scale index value at these different times for production well A, with values between 0.67 to 0.69, and a difference of 0.02. For well B the values obtained were between 1.32 to 1.35, with a difference of 0.03. For oil well C and D the values were 0.80-0.82 and 1.23-1.22 with difference of 0.02 and 0.01 respectively.
