Disclosed herein is a method for the reduction of scale deposition in a formation and fractures about a producing wellbore. In particular, an acidic organic phosphate scale inhibitor is introduced into a waterflooding medium so as to lower the pH of the injection waters, treat the formation and allow the scale inhibitor and water to reach the production well wherein subsequent production from the formation, through the fractures prevents scale deposition.
