Abstract
A combined scale inhibitor treatment and water control treatment requires fewer steps than the sum of each treatment procedure practiced separately. The control of water production simultaneously further reduces the amount of scale formed. Conventional water control chemicals and scale inhibitors of a wide variety of types can still be employed to advantage, and the same equipment may be used as employed for the treatments implemented separately.
