Abstract Yukos Oil Company is the second largest oil production company in Russia, and produces 1.2 million barrels daily, with > 60% of this coming from fields in W. Siberia. Base oil and gas production units are located in the European part of Russia (OAO Samaraneftegaz) and W. Siberia (OAO Yuganskneftegaz and OAO Tomskneft VNK) [1]. This production comes from a variety of fields, and it is common for these fields to produce at significant water cuts. Produced water leads to several production and cleanup problems (since it is also re-injected), one of these being the problem of mineral scale. The most common scale is calcium carbonate and this is found in both mild and more severe scaling cases. Sulfate deposits are present too in minimal amounts. However, a feature of the W. Siberian reservoirs is that they have many thousands of wells. Therefore, although the technical problem of treating a single well may not be large, the approach and logistics to protect such a large number of wells is a significant challenge. In this paper we survey the problems of scale in these W. Siberian fields and we outline how Yukos has approached this challenge.
