ABSTRACT:
A method for inhibiting the formation of scale and corrosion in a well penetrating a subterranean formation for the production of fluids from the formation comprising injecting a predetermined amount of microparticles of a cation exchange resin loaded with the desired cations into the formation about the well that are trapped and retained by the interstices of the formation without rendering the interstices or the formation impermeable to the flow of fluids. Thereafter a predetermined amount of an aqueous solution of scale and corrosion inhibitor is injected into the formation about the well that contacts the cation exchange resin and becomes fixed in a slightly soluble state either by complexation with the cations or is precipitated by the cations in the exchange resin. The scale and corrosion inhibitor is released slowly at effective concentration into fluids produced by the well to inhibit scale formation and corrosion.
