The conditions inside of gas condensate wells are typically not conducive to the formation of iron carbonate scale. The fact is that most of the natural inhibition in these wells is from the presence of this scale. Conditions under which this scale is not allowed to form, produce a highly corrosive condition which allows failures to occur in as little as 6 months. This paper attempts to provide a perspective into three of the primary factors inside gas condensate wells which allow or prevent this scale from forming.
