simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
From Economies of Density and Network Scale to Multioutput Economies of Scale and Scope: a Synthesis
For more than twenty years, the cost structure of transport industries in general, and the airline industry in particular, has been analyzed through the calculation of two indices: returns to density (RTD) and returns to scale (RTS), which were originally proposed by Caves et al. (1984). During this period, there have been many observations, amendments, caveats and corrections about their calcu...

متن کاملEconomies of Scope and Patterns of Outsourcing
The paper suggests that the evolution of modern technologies in manufacturing, from economiesof-scale to economies-of-scope, plays a key role in the increasing outsourcing activities. It is shown that the divergence in the degrees of economies-of-scope and the attribute space of the products between different stages of production is the fundamental economic force behind the recent trend of outs...
