Deposition of scale layers inside pipelines leads to many problems, e.g., reducing the internal diameter pipelines, damage drilling equipment because corrosion, increasing energy consumption decreased efficiency equipment, and shortened life, etc., in petroleum industry. Gamma attenuation could be implemented as a non-invasive approach suitable for determining mineral layer. In this paper, an i...

[1] A model-based investigation of the transport, distribution and deposition of mineral dust in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) is performed by using the GFDL Atmospheric Model (AM2). The study represents an attempt to quantify the contribution of the major sources by tagging dust based on its origin. We evaluate the contribution of each source to the emission, distribution, mass burden and depos...
