A method of inhibiting scale in a geological formation comprising depositing a binder on the formation surface, delivering a nano-material to the surface where it chemically interacts with the binder, emplacing a scale inhibitor on the formation that is absorbed by the nano-material, where a sustained release of the scale inhibitor into the geological formation results.

Method of inhibiting scale in a geological formation

The present invention provides a method for inhibiting scale formation within a hydrocarbon producing system (e.g. a subterranean formation), said method comprising contacting said system with a clay mineral, an organosilane and a scale inhibitor.

Well treatment

A method of drilling is disclosed and includes pumping a wellbore fluid into a wellbore through an earth formation, wherein the wellbore fluid comprises a base fluid and a surface active agent capable of altering wettability of fines located in the earth formation, and allowing filtration of at least a portion of the wellbore fluid into the earth formation.
