Imidazolines
Long chain organic compounds with polar functional groups Mechanism in CO2 is not properly understood

Why Imidazolines?
High molecular weight inhibitors have high adsorption efficiency Oleophilic hydrocarbon chain promotes formation of film Required concentration is less

Intermittent Treatment Pumping 10% inhibitors into water then well is shut down. Regular treatment from 3 to 6 months Squeeze Treatment Inhibitor solution displaced to bottom of well under high pressure followed by overflush of 200 to 500 barrels of oil or brine. Lasts anywhere from 3 months to 2 years
