Publications
Well casing Cathodic Protection
MEOS October 13, 1995
Authors: Amr Emara, Dr.Mohammad Hattab
5. Page5
Case study on actual wells where stage cementing for the casing. the bare areas of the casing were in direct
contact with the well bore and fluids that facilitate (good areas) the stray and eddy current to leave the casing
leading to casing corrosion and / or cracks. Casing cathodic protection could be achieved by applying
impressed current from the surface for each group of wells in the same cluster / area.
Projects
* Pour Point Depressant chemical formulations for highly paraffinic crudes.
February 2007 to March 2015
Members:Amr Emara, M-I PT team - Egypt
Succeeded to formulate a product that can lower the pour point of the produced crude in the cold weather in
addition to minimize the paraffin deposition in the flow lines and reducing the required restart pressure for
the shipping pumps.
