Organophosphorus compounds are well known as oilfield scale inhibitors. Earlier work showed that a series of new and well-known bone-targeting drugs incorporating non-toxic bisphosphonates (BPs) (PO3H2–C–PO3H2) gave good scale inhibition performance against calcite scale based on produced water from...
