井下盐沉淀是北海成熟气田日益严重的问题。目前已构思并应用了两种新解决方案,第一种是安装速度管柱。本文介绍了一个案例研究,其中设置了四个速度管柱,大大提高了平台流量并延长了资产寿命。该解决方案的主要优势在于它相对简单且非常可靠,并且不会增加运营费用 (OPEX)。通过在井下补充淡水来补偿蒸发也是本文讨论的缓解方法之一。

Novel Solutions Mitigate Downhole Salt Deposition in Gas Wells

This paper describes a solution for downhole salt precipitation involving the installation of velocity strings.

Downhole salt precipitation is an increasing issue in mature gas fields of the North Sea. Two novel solutions have been conceptualized and applied, the first being the installation of velocity strings. A case study is presented wherein four velocity strings were set, leading to a strong increase in platform flow rate and the extension of asset life. The major advantage of this solution is that it is relatively simple and extremely robust and does not involve increased operating expense (OPEX). Compensation of evaporation by downhole supplementation of fresh water also is a method of mitigation discussed in the complete paper.

Introduction
