ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for prolonging the useful life of polymeric scale inhibitors or blends of non-polymeric and polymeric scale inhibitors injected within a formation. This method involves injecting an aqueous solution of polyquaternary amines into the formation. This solution of polyquaternary amines can be injected prior to, simultaneously with, or after the injection of the scale inhibitors. The scale inhibitors are preferably a blend of non-polymeric and polymeric scale inhibitors. Preferably, the polyquaternary amine is a poly-(dimethylamine-co-epichlorohydrin) or a poly-(diallyldimethylammonium chloride).
