Predict and Solve Mineral Scale & Corrosion Risks
Turn water chemistry and process data into fast, science-backed decisions. AWA combines thermodynamic modeling, mechanistic tools, and cognitive AI so oil & gas field teams, R&D groups, and service companies can reduce risk, optimize treatment, and protect assets.
- Analyze water chemistry and process data to predict mineral scale and corrosion risks along the system.
- Build predictive models from lab and field results to validate chemical programs and forecast performance.
- Use a private Virtual Assistant for root-cause analysis and treatment recommendations backed by peer-reviewed science.
Why Choose AWA?
Simulation
Simulate real-world conditions to predict mineral scales, CO2/H2S corrosion rates, XRD scale patterns, and potential inhibitors. Model single waters, multi-brine blends, and injection scenarios with confidence.
File Management
Store and organize water analyses, models, and reports in customizable folders. AWA keeps your data structured, auditable, and easy to retrieve. Also allows to share the folders or file with your team or the Virtual Assistant.
Custom Regression Model
Turn your lab tests, corrosion coupons, and field measurements into predictive models. Build, use, and export custom regression models (Python-ready) tailored to your chemical programs and operating conditions.
Virtual Assistant
Backed by peer-reviewed research, AWA's Virtual Assistant runs securely within your environment. Through File Management, you can share entire project folders with the Assistant so it understands context across files, then pinpoints root causes and recommends commercial solutions, including your own products when they're added to the platform.
Customizable Reports
Download CSV templates, auto-create inputs from PDF lab reports, customized Excel template reports to fit your workflows and reporting standards.
Cloud Access, Anywhere
Run simulations, build models, or review reports from any browser, desktop, tablet, or mobile. AWA is fully cloud-based, with enterprise privacy so your proprietary data remains confidential.
From Raw Water Data to Actionable Treatment in Four Steps
Whether you're in the field, the lab, or managing programs across assets, AWA guides you from data to decisions in a few steps.
- Load & Organize Your Data
- Predict Scale, Corrosion & Treatment Needs
- File management, Report, & Share
- Diagnose & Design
Designed for Oil & Gas Workflows
Whether you run assets, build chemistry, or manage programs, AWA adapts to the way you work.
Scale & Corrosion in a High-TDS Brine
A mid-size operator in the Torquay formation was seeing sand and calcite deposits in a 1 km production pipeline feeding a treater. Operations suspected scaling but had no clear picture of where or why it was forming.
- Challenge: Localized calcite and sand deposits, no clear root cause.
- AWA: Ingested lab water data, mapped calcite/barite SI and CO₂ corrosion along the line, and tested alternative inhibitor programs.
- Result: Optimized scale/corrosion inhibitor blend and dose to reduce predicted calcite deposition and bring corrosion into target range.
Sensitivity & Design Windows in Minutes
A production engineer needed to understand how changes in temperature, pressure, gas composition, and water chemistry would impact scaling risk in a Torquay pipeline.
- Challenge: No clear view of which variables (T, P, CO2, Ca2+, TDS, etc.) actually controlled calcite, barite, and gypsum risk.
- AWA: Ran sensitivity on key operating and chemistry variables, ranked their impact on SI, and generated 3D surfaces of SI vs temperature and pressure.
- Result: Defined safe operating windows and priority levers (e.g., blending strategy, CO2 control, Ca2+ limit) to reduce scale risk with fewer lab runs.
Mixing Two Incompatible Waters Without Causing FeS & Emulsions
Two production fluids from nearby assets (Torquay and Ratcliffe) were being blended. The mix was causing FeS precipitation and emulsions, overloading separators and increasing demulsifier cost.
- Challenge: FeS solids, emulsion problems, and high treatment cost when mixing waters.
- AWA: Simulated blends at different ratios, temperatures, and pressures, predicting FeS, calcite, and emulsion-prone conditions.
- Result: Recommended safe blend windows and inhibitor strategy, reducing FeS risk and stabilizing separation.
Building a Predictive Model for Inhibitor Performance
A service company was screening inhibitor packages for a carbon-steel pipeline exposed to several production fluids. They had coupon and lab test data, but no practical way to turn that into a reusable prediction tool.
- Challenge: Many lab/coupon results, no model to predict performance in new conditions.
- AWA: Loaded historical lab and field data into the Regression Tool, built and use a predictive model, and exported it as Python-ready code.
- Result: Ability to predict inhibitor performance for new locations and operating conditions without repeating every lab test.
Why AWA? Practical Answers, Not Just Risk Flags
AWA goes beyond predicting corrosion and scaling risk. It shows what's driving the issue and delivers a science-backed treatment plan your team can act on.
- From insight to action: Combines thermodynamic modeling, mechanistic methods, regression, and AI to turn “we see a problem” into “here is the treatment and why”.
- Accurate at field conditions: Models complex CO2/H2S, multi-brine mixing, and high-pressure, high-temperature environments.
- Cognitive AI: A research-backed Virtual Assistant that reads your Excel and PDF reports, connects findings, and provides traceable recommendations.
- Works with your chemistry and data: Build models from your historical tests, add your proprietary products, and generate predictions specific to your assets and formulations.
- Built for Collaboration: Shared workspaces, consistent reporting, and metric/imperial units to support cross-functional teams.
- Smooth onboarding: Transition Services to migrate data and workflows via self-serve tools, assisted migration, or full-service onboarding, minimizing downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is AWA only for oil & gas?
AWA is optimized for oil & gas applications, but it also supports water-treatment challenges in industries such as chemical processing, power generation, and mining, anywhere scaling and corrosion are critical. -
What data do I need to get started?
You can start with standard water analyses (ions, pH, temperature, pressure, CO₂/H₂S) and basic asset information. As you grow, you can incorporate historical lab tests, coupons, and field data to build more advanced models. -
How long does it take to see value?
Many users can run meaningful simulations and generate reports in their first session, using tooltips, sample datasets, and templates. For larger teams, our Transition Services can accelerate onboarding and standardization. -
Can AWA work with our existing lab / LIMS setup?
Yes. AWA supports CSV-based batch processing and Excel outputs, making it easy to integrate with LIMS and existing reporting workflows. -
How is my data protected?
