Proppants Useful for Prevention of Scale Deposition

摘要

Proppants for treating subterranean which are scale resistant as well as fluids containing and methods of using such proppants. The proppant materials are less susceptible to fouling by residual materials in the fracturing or gravel pack fluid and hence may have improved clean-up compared with conventional materials. Long-term scale deposition during well production may also be improved. Proppant materials according to the invention are typically used in conjunction with carrier fluids or formation treatment fluids, such as fracturing treatments, for placement in the formation or wellbore penetrating the formation.
