TREATMENT FLUIDS COMPRISING A HYDROXYPYRIDINECARBOXYLIC ACID AND METHODS FOR USE THEREOF

摘要

Treatment fluids can mitigate the occurrence or effects of precipitation in a subterranean formation through complexation of a metal ion therein. Methods for treating a subterranean formation can comprise : providing a treatment fluid comprising a hydroxypyridinecarboxylic acid, a salt thereof, or a tautomer thereof; introducing the treatment fluid into a subterranean formation; and complexing a metal ion in the subterranean formation with the hydroxypyridinecarboxylic acid.
