Abstract: Disclosed herein are extended- and multimodal-release compositions for inhibiting scale in an industrial water system. In an example, an extended-release composition for inhibiting scale in an industrial water system includes a solid, particulate scale inhibitor. The solid, particular scale inhibitor may include a phosphonate, a carboxylate, or a combination thereof; and a divalent cation, a trivalent cation, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A novel method for a controlled release of oil well treating compositions is revealed. The “engineered composite” are formed by mixing well treatment agents with an impervious substrate that exhibit low solubility in water and oil. The engineered composite is introduced in to subterranean wells along with a carrier, fluid to release well, treatment agents over extended periods of time.
