Abstract: The present invention proposes the use of microcapsules containing acids in its interior to adjust the pH of the scale inhibitor in oil reservoirs. The microcapsules are comprised of an inner moiety with organic or inorganic acid and an outer moiety comprised of an oil-soluble polymeric material at the reservoir temperature. The microcapsules open due to the effect of the reservoir temperature, releasing the acid into the corrosion inhibitor, hence changing its pH. The present invention further proposes a method of treatment using scale inhibitors using microcapsules containing acids in its interior to adjust the pH of the scale inhibitor in oil reservoirs, wherein the method comprises the steps of (a) preparing the scale inhibitor product; (b) pumping the inhibitor solution prepared into the standpipe manifold; (c) adding the acidic microcapsules to the scale inhibitor; and (d) injecting the inhibitor solution mixture containing the acidic microcapsules into the production well column.
