ABSTRACT:
A high salt content oil field brine is treated for use in downhole secondary recovery of hydrocarbons by placing a scale inhibitor in the brine, then heating the brine by contact with a heat exchange medium having a temperature not exceeding 400.degree. F. The amount of scale inhibitor used is the minimum amount effective to reduce the total amount of scale formation during heating by at least 90% as compared to the amount of scale formed under identical heating conditions and when no inhibitor is added to the brine.
