Acidic Treatment Fluids Containing Non-Polymeric Silica Scale Control Additives and Methods Related Thereto

摘要

The present invention relates to treatment fluids and compounds useful in subterranean formations, particularly those that retard deposition of silica scale in subterranean formations. Methods of the present invention comprise providing a treatment fluid having a pH of 6 or less that comprises an acidic base fluid and a non-polymeric silica scale control additive and introducing the treatment fluid into at least a portion of a subterranean formation. The non-polymeric silica scale control additive retards deposition of silica scale in the subterranean formation.
