In-Situ Barium Sulphate Formation Observed by SynchrotronA high pressure cell was developed and commissioned for use in the synchrotron. After establishing that the cell could be used to examine in-situ barium sulphate precipitation further tests were carried out at 2,000 psi. These tests were designed to determine the effect of the concentration of formation water, divalent cations (calcium, magnesium and strontium) and presence of inhibitor (4 ppm PPCA or DETPMP) on the unit25 October, 2012
