Thorough Mineral Scale & Chemistry Evaluation

DownHole SAT (pronounced down-hole-sat), combines iterative physical chemistry with an intuitive interface to create an easily interpreted and sharable tool for modeling mineral scale formation, corrosion and inhibitor treatments.

The interface and calculation engine were designed to enable even a novice computer user the ability to:

  • Evaluate scale potential for 20 + different species
  • Determine optimal injection ratios
  • Model CO2-H2S corrosion rates
  • Choose optimal mixture ratios
  • Select a suitable treatment & dosage

Optimize Mixtures

DownHole SAT enables users to quickly find compatible streams for injection or other reuse purposes.

This means a user can quickly find:

  • When scale becomes an issue
  • Which scales require treatment
  • Blend & model 10 + streams
  • If treatment can enable reuse

Operate more efficiently with DownHole SAT Basic and Premium Editions.

Inhibitor Modeling

DownHole SAT enables users to model treatments using our extensive inhibitor library of models, or with your own models created using a Laboratory Edition.

Using a Product Manager Edition, a user can create a Product File by selecting any number of materials and by assigning actives.

Once a Product File is created, model it! DownHole SAT's color coded graphs and Treatment Limits Summary show the treatments range of effectiveness. DownHole SAT also recommends a dosage for any point in your operating range.

Materials available include:

  • HEDP
  • ATMP
  • HEDP
  • PBTC
  • HDTMP
  • DTPMPA
  • PAA
  • PMA
  • AA-AMPS
  • + Many Proprietary Materials

  1. Create Product File »
    Product files are made up of various inhibitor models. They are used to model effectiveness and dosages for a given analysis.
  2. Select 'Product' to Model »
    After using DownHole SAT for scale potential assessment, select a previously made Product File to view a products range and for dosage recommendations.
  3. Color Coded Graphs »
    DownHole SAT enables a user to view a treatment's optimal range via color coding:
    indicates safe range

    indicates mild problem if conditions change

    warns to check measurements, nearing trouble

    indicates a problem is likely, take corrective action

    warns of a problem. Remedial action required.
