The carbonate scale is the common oilfield scale found in the petroleum pipeline, which will cause flow assurance problems. In the purpose to conquer this problem, the alternative approach is to use ionic liquids (ILs) particularly in dissolving carbonate scale. The main objective of this study is t...
