Abstract:
Nubia constituted the area in the Nile Valley in the present day Sudan, the area which spread from the first cataract up to the place where the White Nile meets the Blue Nile. The area was inhabited by the population using a common language – Old Nubian. In the second half of the sixth century thanks to the missions send by the Byzantine Court, Nubia accepted Christianity as a state religion. Nubia immediately found itself in the area of influence of Byzantine culture. Byzantine administration, liturgy of the Eastern Church and the Greek language were introduced. In 641 the Arab conquest of Egypt took place. Soon after that in 642, the Arab army entered the Nubian territory and from this date centuries of clashes and peace treaties characterized relations between Nubians and Arab peoples. The 13th century marks slow decline of the kingdom of Nubia. Hostile Negro tribes from the South and South-West appear in the Mid Valley of Nile. Fights weaken the kingdom; slow islamization of the country follows, royal rule and Christian faith falls and together with those culture and arts deteriorates. The history of military as well as political or commercial Nubian-Arabic contacts over entire period of existence of Christian kingdom of Nubia undoubtedly had to bring about certain artistic trends in Nubia originating from rich heritage of Muslim culture. The culture of Christian Nubia originally based to considerable extent on Byzantine art, in course of time, subjected to more and more intense Arabic influence, significantly changed. Arabic components seen in Nubian church architecture, wall painting and art crafts became predominant, which over following centuries led to creation of Arabic culture of the contemporary Sudan.

Abstract:
Abstract This article discusses the creation of architectural and archaeological archives in newly independent Egypt and Sudan during the International Campaign to Save the Monuments of Nubia, organized by UNESCO (The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). This initiative took place in the contiguous border regions of Egyptian and Sudanese Nubia from 1960 until 1980 in response to the building of the Aswan High Dam. Contingency in these archives demonstrates the necessity of acknowledging the (post-) colonial social and historical conditions in which they were produced. UNESCO's campaign sought to record ancient remains that would be submerged by the High Dam's floodwaters. During the campaign, UNESCO set up 'documentation centres' that helped codify what knowledge about Nubian architecture/archaeology might be archive-worthy, producing index cards dedicated to this purpose in Egypt (concentrating on monuments) and Sudan (centring on archaeological sites). This practice ‐ echoed by other organizations involved in the work ‐ was often purposefully forgetful of contemporary Nubia, whose material traces were also soon to be flooded. Nevertheless, such practices rendered visible other unauthorised histories of Nubia that subverted archival knowledge production: histories of local involvement with the campaign and now-submerged Nubian settlements. This article therefore argues that it is not only possible, but also ethically imperative, to repurpose the Nubian campaign's archives towards the acknowledgement of erased Nubian histories.

Abstract:
Indications of the first baptismal endeavors in Nubia can be traced back to the apostolic period. The final baptism of all three Nubian states (Nobatia, Makuria, Alodia) took place in the 6th century. A strong and lasting alliance with Byzantium implied cultural, religious and trade contacts. The historiography is dominated by the theory of the collapse of Nubian- Byzantine ties after the Islamic Conquest of Egypt in the 7th century. The similarity of Nubian society with Byzantine after the seventh century is explained by the theory of memory of Byzantium in Nubia. On the other hand, relying on the Arab-Byzantine sources, the trade relations between Nubia and Byzantium can be traced back to the 10th century. According to Ibn Yahya the Nubians appear as a guard of emperors in Constantinople. The general Byzantine term of the Ethiopians mainly denoted various East African peoples in Byzantine sources. In the tenth century, it is possible to identify Nubians in such mentions.

Abstract:
For over a hundred years, palaeopathologists have studied the ancient Nubian population, examining the patterns of disease and trauma evident in the surviving human remains. Despite the remarkable amount of progress made in this area, there have been few attempts to discern whether there is enough available evidence to support the existence of a defined ancient medical tradition in the country, akin to that in neighbouring Egypt. Given the lack of textual sources for prehistoric Nubia, evidence for such a tradition must be sought in the human remains themselves. Here, an assessment will be provided of the possible palaeopathological evidence for healthcare practices in ancient Nubia, focusing in particular on the artefacts from the first Archaeological Survey of Nubia. The data presented, although tentative, represent the first point on the road to greater understanding of ancient Nubian medical traditions.

Abstract:
The Egyptian government displaced all Nubian villages to build the High Dam. New generations of Egyptian Nubians still identify as displaced and live in a nostalgic virtual space that carries a rendition of a paradise-like old Nubia. I investigate this spatial phenomenon by surveying Nubian literary and oral tradition, which displays signs of belonging to a geography that is no longer material. This paper lays out a conceptualisation of this space of nostalgia perpetuated in a metanarrative of a utopian lost land, that poses it as a disembodied territory while nostalgia is territoriality. From my position as a Nubian woman and a scholar, I use auto-ethnographic tools to methodically decode and layout this territory. The paper offers empirical evidence of the effect of these virtual territories on materialised spatial production and, therefore, argues that Nubians remain space makers by carving their own virtual territory and that Nubia still exists.

Abstract:
Unlike previous instalments of the ‘Nubica onomastica miscellanea’-series which focused on correcting single names or phrases in Nubian texts, its fifth part brings the complete reedition of two more substantial texts originally published by Giovanni Ruffini. The former is a list of witnesses to a deed of land sale (P. Qasr Ibrim IV 65) and the latter an account (P. Qasr Ibrim IV 80). While the main subject of the paper are personal names that can be found in the two documents, other elements, such as grammar, lexicon, and – especially for P. Qasr Ibrim IV 80 – the matter of the document are also duly treated. By identifying ghost-names in Ruffini’s edition and proposing the identification of new Old Nubian substantives, the paper enhances our knowledge about the vocabulary of the language. Last but not least, the new interpretation of P. Qasr Ibrim IV 80, which – for the first time in medieval Nubia – appears to explicitly state the value of certain commodities in dirhams, is an important contribution to the studies on the monetisation of Nubian economy.

Abstract:
Building on recent criticisms of Romanization, this contribution formulates a systematic critique of the concept of Egyptianization and suggests a different theoretical approach to cultural process in New Kingdom Nubia that benefits from the insights of ‘cultural entanglement’. This approach emphasizes multidirectional and interactive perspectives that allow for a variety of acculturative outcomes rather than one-sided assimilation. A useful epistemological framework for its application in archaeology is illustrated through two case studies, focusing respectively on representations of Egyptianized Nubians in Egyptian art and Lower Nubian burial customs. The outcomes of the case studies argue for a provocative re-reading of cultural process in New Kingdom Lower Nubia, and may help to clarify the general picture of Nubian history by explaining why and how Nubian traits re-appeared in the Napatan-Meroitic Kingdom of Kush. Finally, the article considers some broader methodological and theoretical issues relating to cultural mixture in the archaeological record.

Abstract:
Was Lower Nubia inhabited during the Old Kingdom? Since G. A. Reisner's hypothetical ‘B Group’ was discounted, the archaeological sources seem to have contradicted the Egyptian texts, which give the impression of an area which was populated, if not prosperous. Examination of recent finds, however, suggests the existence of a Nubian population between Aniba and the Second Cataract, and the greater part of the Nubian pottery discovered on the Old Kingdom site at Buhen may provide the most convincing evidence for this.

Abstract:
Several twentieth century archaeological expeditions to Lower Nubia recovered the skeletal and cultural remains of C-Group populations mainly from cemetery sites between Shellal and the Second Cataract. Along with the remains of the more or less contemporary Pangrave and Kerma peoples, the C-Group archaeological sequence was assigned to the Middle Nubian Period which lasted from the Sixth to the Eighteenth Egyptian Dynasties and is dated from ca. 2200 B.C. to ca. 1500 B.C. Conflicting interpretations of C-Group socioeconomic conditions are inevitable since no systematic analysis of the data resulting from the excavations of Middle Nubian cemeteries has ever been undertaken. In an attempt to assess the extent of C-Group economic contact with the Egyptians and to resolve the issue of possible growing social differentiation within the C-Group community, a quantitative analysis of the mortuary remains from fifteen C-Group cemeteries was undertaken. The results indicate that the flow of a small number of Egyptian artefacts into Lower Nubia was relatively constant and that contact between Lower Nubians and Egyptians was probably quite limited. Egyptian portrayals of constant fluctuation in Egyptian-Nubian political relations do not correspond with the evidence from the Nubian archaeological record. The analysis also indicated that economic inequality amongst the Middle Nubian population was present in each date category and tended to increase over time. Socioeconomic differences were greatest during the middle of the Second Intermediate Period. These findings indicate that the Middle Nubian socioeconomic system tolerated increasingly conspicuous differences amongst its members. They are not consistent with the hypothesis that no increase in differential access to burial resources occurred between ca. 2100 and ca. 1550 B.C. and that C-Group social and economic conditions remained virtually unchanged throughout their 800-year history.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines and contextualises historically significant aspects of the ways in which David Roberts’ lucrative lithographic publication Egypt and Nubia (1846-49) represented the “Orient”. The analysis demonstrates that Roberts used tropes, particularly ruins and dispossessed figures, largely derived from a revised version of British picturesque landscape art, in order to depict Egypt as a developmentally poor state. By establishing how this imagery was interpreted in the context of the early Victorian British Empire, the thesis offers an elucidation of the connection between British imperial attitudes and the picturesque in Roberts’ work. The contemporary perception of Egypt and Nubia as a definitive representation of the state is argued to relate, not only to the utility of the picturesque as an “accurate” descriptive mode, despite its highly mediated nature, but also to the ways in which Britain responded to shifting political relationships with Egypt and the Ottoman Empire between 1830 and 1869. This political element of the research also suggests a more problematised reading of Robert’s work in relation to constructs of British imperialism and Edward Said’s theory of ‘Orientalism’, than has been provided by previous art historical accounts. A significant and innovative feature of the research is its focus on extensive analysis of textual descriptions of Egypt in early Victorian Britain and contemporary imperial historiography in relation to characteristics displayed in Roberts’ art. This offers a basis for a more specific, contextual understanding of Roberts’ work, as well as historically repositioning nineteenth-century British picturesque art practice and the visual culture of the early Victorian British Empire.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation seeks to explore the nature of the occupation of Lower Nubia between the third and sixth centuries A.D. through a study of the material culture of the 'X-group', and the cultural influences exerted thereupon. It draws upon a detailed examination of artefactual evidence and particularly ceramics from published and unpublished sites throughout the study area, with especial reference to unpublished data from the citadel of Qasr Ibrim which both the archaeological and historical records indicate to have been of key importance at this time. The study concludes that the previously assumed homogeneity of 'X-group' material culture cannot be accepted for much of the period under consideration, and that separate cultural traditions can be identified which indicate the settlement of new groups within the area alongside the small pre-existing population. These can now be more successfully linked with historical sources than has previously proved possible, and also provide clear evidence of the mechanisms by which the late Roman administration in Egypt sought to maintain stability in the territory immediately beyond its southern frontier. Ceramics are used extensively in the study in the assessment of the cultural influences present in Lower Nubia, their effect on local production, and their significance. Particularly important is the definition of a previously unrecognised 'post-Meroitic' ceramic assemblage of limited distribution, which is clearly antecedent to the well-known 'X-group' ceramic tradition. Ceramics also provide evidence of dating, and were used in seriation analysis in order to investigate more closely the chronology and sequence of occupation of Lower Nubia.

Abstract:
Art History
M.A.
Prior to the removal of monumental murals from the cathedral of Pachoras (Faras), the largely unknown cultural entity of Christian Nubia figured in scholarship merely as a peripheral outpost of Byzantine and Egyptian influence. The impressive corpus of visual evidence from Pachoras, located south of the first Nile cataract and now inundated by Lake Nasser, led Kurt Weitzmann to reevaluate its significance in a seminal essay published in 1970. By tracing artistic sources of Christian Nubian art to Egypt, Palestine, and Syria, Weitzmann initiated recognition of the close ties between Nubia and Byzantium. Since that time, however, this subject has received little art historical attention, and it continues to pose interpretive challenges. I endeavor to recuperate the Nubian wall paintings from Pachoras for mainstream Byzantine studies. To that end, I explore the depictions of three of the Pachoras bishops, with particular attention to their original location, relationship with surrounding images, and epigraphic evidence. I conceive of these tenth- and eleventh-century portraits as visual constructions of Nubian episcopal authority mapped out on the cathedral's walls. I also explore the possible meanings of the indigenous elements represented in the images of the Pachoras bishops, while considering their relationships to the eastern Mediterranean textual and visual traditions. Evidence includes the paintings with accompanying inscriptions, fourteenth-century scrolls of Bishop Timotheos, Greek and Coptic epitaphs engraved on ninth- through twelfth-century funerary steles, and a list of bishops, first painted around the turn of the tenth century.

Abstract:
This PhD thesis presents a geological and geophysical study that characterizes the Quaternary stratigraphy, geomorphology, recent tectonics, and discusses their implications to understand the geodynamic evolution of North Tunisia, including the emerged land and continental margin. The study area spans much of the region containing the boundary between the African and Eurasian tectonic plates in this sector. I have carried out specific analyses for an onshore and an offshore contiguous regions, where present-day tectonics has been previously poorly studied. Onshore Northern Tunisia we applied a morphometric relief analysis of digital elevation models based in drainage network metrics to characterize active tectonics and its influence into the drainage evolution of the area. This analysis was ground-truthed with a field campaign. Our analysis indicates that recent river captures have been the main factor driving the fluvial network reorganization in Northern Tunisia and are probably driven by the gradual uplift of adjacent axial valleys by reverse/oblique slip faults or associated folding. Several active faults with estimated maximum magnitudes up to (Mw) 6.7 have been identified. To study the offshore North Tunisian continental margin we have integrated a comprehensive dataset of about 12,000 km of 2D parametric echosounder profiles and about 15,600 km2 of high- resolution bathymetry and back-scatter mosaics from two cruises. Additionally to the geophysical dataset, we integrated available age data from a giant piston core collected by the R/V Marion Dufresne in 1995 during the MAST II PALAEOFLUX Program, which provides the calibration of horizons mapped with TOPAS profiles. This large dataset permitted a detailed analysis of the offshore Tunisian plateau for the first time. The geomorphologic and morpho-structural study of the offshore North Tunisian margin has revealed a complex seafloor topography. The coexistence of a wide range of geomorphic features interplay to shape the seafloor and shallow strata structure. This first high-resolution study has been key to later identify and characterize active faulting and related structures. The seismo-stratigraphic analysis of deposits supports that individual Quaternary basins develop syn-tectonic to faulting. This analysis found a change in Sediment Accumulation Rates (SAR) coeval to a change in the strata geometry of the units next to faults at 402 ± 5 ky (mid Middle Pleistocene) supporting a change in active faulting intensity caused by enhanced contractional tectonics. This change may relate to the NW-SE convergence between Nubia and Eurasia, and probably marks the end of the Tyrrhenian back-arc extension and of subduction trench migration in the Ionian Sea. The structural analysis of the offshore North Tunisian continental margin has revealed a series of active faults, mapped for the first time in the region, with a general transpressional to compressional regime and estimated maximum magnitudes of (Mw) 7.54. Most active faults occur within the north-eastern sector of the mapped area and possibly represent the current reactivation of previous structures and inverted in compression by the present-day NW-SE trending convergence. Most of them are possibly pre-existing faults formed during the opening of the Tyrrhenian Sea and some fewer faults are possibly related to the fold-and-thrust belt system associated to the opening of the Algero-Balearic basin. Overall, the distribution of active faults corresponds to a sparse seismicity band that expands further south than in neighbouring regions. The broad area of deformation is probably related to the geometry and dynamics of the slab underlying Tunisia, and to the collision of the North African lithosphere with relatively thick continental lithosphere of the Sardinia-Corsica. The results of this thesis provide information to improve the regional seismic hazard assessment.
Aquesta tesi presenta un estudi geològic i geofísic que caracteritza l’estratigrafia quaternària, la geomorfologia i l’activitat tectònica recent per entendre l’evolució geodinàmica del Nord de Tunísia, incloent la zona emergida i el marge continental. L’àrea d’estudi inclou la major part de la regió que conté el límit de plaques entre Núbia i Euràsia en aquest sector. A la zona emergida s’ha dut a terme una anàlisi morfomètrica del relleu mitjançant models digitals del terreny per caracteritzar la tectònica recent i la seva influència en l’evolució de la xarxa de drenatge. Aquest estudi es va complementar amb una campanya de camp i ha permès comprovar que les recents captures dels rius provocades pel moviment de falles actives són el principal factor que està causant una reorganització de la xarxa. A més, s’han identificat noves falles actives amb magnituds de terratrèmols estimades de fins a 6.7 Mw. A la zona marina es van adquirir una gran quantitat de dades en dues campanyes, incloent 12.000 km de perfils d’ecosonda i un mapa batimètric d’uns 15.600 km2. Aquestes dades van permetre dur a terme un estudi geomorfològic que ha descobert un fons marí molt complex. També es va dur a terme un estudi sismoestratigràfic dels sediments quaternaris que ha demostrat que les conques sedimentàries recents es desenvolupen sintectònicament a falles. Amb aquesta anàlisi es va identificar un canvi en les taxes de sedimentació a 402 ± 5 ka que demostra un augment en l’activitat de falles degut a la convergencia de plaques actual i que probablement marca la fi de la subducció a la conca del Tirrè. Per altra banda, es va dur a terme una anàlisi estructural del marge continental amb el que es van identificar nombroses falles actives desconegudes anteriorment i de les que s’han obtingut magnituds potencials de terratrèmols de fins a 7.54 Mw. Aquestes falles són falles reactivades de l’obertura del Tirrè i en menor mesura de l’obertura de la conca Algero-Balear. Finalment, es proposa que la gran banda de deformació transpressiva-compressiva de Tunísia està relacionada amb la geometria i dinàmica dels slabs i al fet que el marge de Tunísia està col·lisionant amb l’escorça continental del bloc de Sardenya- Còrsega.

Full text
Abstract:
The portfolio of fifteen-hundred drawings made by the wealthy and brilliant William John Bankes (1786-1855) and his artists, travelling and working in Egypt and Nubia between 1815 and 1822, constitutes an important early scholarly record. Of particular interest are sites and monuments in Nubia and the Sudan, many of which are now destroyed, damaged, or have been moved due to the creation of Lake Nasser. Together with Henry Salt, Henry William Beechey, L-M-A. Linant de Bellefonds, and Alessandro Ricci, Bankes produced plans, views, descriptions, and, above all, remarkably accurate copies of reliefs and inscriptions. This mass of information was never arranged and published. A catalogue raisonné of the Nubian drawings covers the sites running between Dabod and Naqa, including Gebel Barkal, Meroë, and Musawwarat; many virtually unknown at that time. The catalogue provides the data for an assessment of the archaeological and epigraphic significance of the record. In addition, the unsigned drawings can now be attributed to individual artists on stylistic criteria, and, using unpublished journals and correspondence, the two journeys of 1815 and 1818-9 can be reconstructed. Many previously unrecognised drawings can now be identified, and sections of texts of particular interest recorded on the drawings have been hand-copied in an appendix. Bankes' role as a pioneer in the field of Egyptology, and his contribution to the study of decipherment are also examined.

Abstract:
Abstract The QQ Field in the Gulf of Suez is a mature, geologically complex with multiple stacked, faulted reservoirs, with commingled production between different reservoirs. This paper illustrates the power of an automated tool to perform systematic, rapid, and detailed assessment of the reservoir performance, identify the key recovery obstacles and prepare remedial plans to enable the reservoir to produce to its full potential. The well and reservoir data were processed to compute a series of metrics and key performance indicators at various levels (well, layer, reservoir, well groups, etc.). The tool has several automated modules to facilitate rapid, metric-driven reservoir assurance and management. These modules include: (i) well production/injection allocation, (ii) wells decline curve analysis including event-detection, (iii) pressure and voidage analysis, and (iv) Contact analysis. Using performance analytics, the study quickly identified ways to improve the health of the reservoir and maximize its value. The QQ Field predominantly produces from two formations: Nubia and Nezzazat. Furthermore, there are multiple sub-layers in each formation. Reliable flow unit allocation is critical to gauge contribution of each layer, identify the undrained areas of the reservoir, and locate future development opportunities. The flow unit allocation module incorporates all available data such as PLT/ILT data, completion history, permeability of each flow unit at well level, relative pressures, and water influx model. Based on the allocated production, the current recovery factors in Nubia and Nezzazat are approximately 60% and 20% respectively. Analysis of RFT data reveals good vertical communication across Nubia. However, in some areas there is clear pressure discontinuity across layers. The reservoir pressure has dropped below the bubble point in both formations. As a result, water injection was initiated. The pressure in all parts of Nubia was restored above bubble point. Aquifer influx is sufficient to support the current withdrawal rates and further water injection is unnecessary. However, Nezzazat has a significantly higher reservoir complexity and therefore, shows a large variation in pressure behavior. It needs water injection to maintain the reservoir pressure above the bubble point in all parts of the reservoir. Based on the flow-unit allocation, the voidage replacement ratio (VRR) was calculated for each area and each layer. Even though the overall VRR in the waterflooded areas is above one, the distribution of the injected water is uneven. Redistributing injected water and ensuring that all the areas and all the layers are adequately supported will help to maximize recovery. The prolonged dip in oil price demands extreme efficiency. Sound reservoir management must not require unreasonable time or manpower. The rapid, automated analysis enables quick identification of the key areas for improvement in reservoir management practices and maximize the value of the asset.

Abstract:
High Performance Low-Invasion Fluids Technology Enhances, Optimizes Drilling Efficiency in the Gulf of Suez – Egypt Objectives / Scope: The main objective of this paper is to characterize the drilled shale formation in order to select and propose a "tailored" High Performance Low Invasion Fluids (HPLIF) system aided by Bridging Particles Optimization Tool (BPOT)(5),(6)(9)(11), capable of maximize hole stability in pressure depleted sands, allowing optimized well design through reactive and dispersible shale formations(7)(8) that eliminated one casing section, and to replace Oil Base Mud (OBM) and avoid its HSE issues related to use it, consequently, reduce formation damage, eliminate waste management cost, minimizing Non Productive Time (NPT) and finally enhances Drilling performance. Methods, Procedures, Process: This paper explain the reactivity information about Shale Samples recovered from different wells drilled in the-GOS-Egypt followed by extensive laboratory testing done(1) in order to characterize the main clay minerals presented in the samples using X-Ray Diffraction-(XRD) technology and their meso-and micro-structure by Scanning-Electron-Microscope-(SEM) and their reactivity to compare the inhibition efficiency of the proposed-(HPLIF)-System with Blank and Conventional Water-Base-Fluid-System. The reactivity of the cuttings was assessed by Dispersion, Swelling and Hardness tests. Field application experienced (HPLIF) System combined with Well-Bore Strengthening Materials (WSM) gives the required protection against induced losses and reducing the risk of differential sticking problems when mud overbalance is above 2500 psi(5), (6)(9)(11). Results, Observations, Conclusions: Compared with the use of conventional fluid systems, Field data demonstrated the successful application of (HPLIF) System combined with (WSM) and shows a great success during drilling through reactive clays, dispersive shale, naturally micro fractured(8), and depleted sand formations in many wells drilled in the GOS(2), (3), (4). Drilling operations reported no differential sticking, or wellbore instability issues even at highly mud overbalance or at highly deviated wells. The first challenged well R1-63 was drilled about 2391 ft, through 8.5" hole using 9.8-10.01 ppg using (HPLIF) system, penetrating through Thebes, Esna Shale, Sudr, Brown Lime Stone, Matulla, Nubia"A" Sand and Nubia "B" without any down-hole losses. Additionally, there was no sticking tendency experienced during drilling or while recording pressure points. The Non Productive Time NPT showed a reduction by about 19.2%. Finally, it ran and was cemented the "7" Liner in open hole successfully without problem. For the second challenged case well # 2, the Open hole was exposed to (HPLIF) water based mud system for a long period of time while rig repairing, rig switching, and during drilling operation. The well had 6" hole from 12,752 To/14,945 (2193.0ft) through Red bed, Thebes Esna, Sudr, Matulla and Nubia Sand formations with max inclination 68.6° and bottom hole temperature 325°F using 10.0-10.5 ppg (HPLIF) system, the 4.5"liner successfully was ran, cemented without any problems. The-HPLIF-System has also been shown to give excellent wellbore stability in brittle shales Fm where bedding planes or micro-fractures can become pressurized with mud, leading to wellbore instability. This innovation avoids induced lost circulation and differential sticking when the mud overbalance is expected to be greater than ±2500 psi. Additionally, the proposed solution enhances the drilling operation, reduces the waste management costs, eliminates a possible additional casing string, and finally minimizes the (NPT) which reflects on the overall cost of drilling these challenged wells.

Abstract:
Abstract Halite scaling has a dreadful impact on production pipelines. Produced water from Nubia formation in "E" field has high level of total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration. Halite scale causes complete blockage of the flow paths, integrity complications and periodic production interruption. Pipeline pigging and flushing with fresh water were performed frequently to eliminate blockage and restore production. An offshore platform with six online gas lifted wells; two high rate wells are producing from Nubia formation through the production pipeline and the remaining low rate wells are producing from other formations with a lower TDS through the test pipeline. High saline water flows through the production pipeline and cools down to seabed temperature resulting in halite precipitation, which regularly blocks the pipeline and requires repetitive fresh water flushing and pigging operations. Laboratory water analysis and scale tendency were conducted in conjunction with a pipeline network model to predict the halite precipitation temperature, actual friction coefficient and optimum fluid mixing and dilution strategy. The combination of complete water analysis, scale tendency, real time remote monitoring system and pipeline network modeling showed that halite scaling started inside the subsea pipeline nearby the platform. The model matching revealed a high friction coefficient, which indicated partial plugging of the production pipeline. The model sensitivity analysis predicted that diluting the supersaturated water by mixing it with other wells’ lower salinity waters – into the same pipeline, would drop the mixture salinity with no halite scaling along the pipeline. As a result, the strategy of mixing was selected and optimized based on the modeling results and water compatibility tests to reduce losses due to back pressure and to minimize the risk of hard scale deposition. For more than a year, no halite has precipitated, which resulted in an uninterrupted production and allowed well testing of the remaining wells discretely through the test pipeline. This paper demonstrates a comprehensive case in which halite scaling issues were predicted and mitigated through an integrated scale management system. The operating expenditures of pipeline flushing and pigging operations and oil losses were decreased due to interrupted production.
