Completions & Production - New Acidizing Philosophies and Technologies
Following the advent of acid stimulation of oil wells in the late 19th century, the field of acidizing has experienced periods of rapid technology and commercial development – followed by extended periods of stagnation – sometimes inexplicably. The industry again finds itself in a period of new technology need and innovation – to address the increasing challenges of stimulating both sandstone and carbonate formations, especially in long vertical and horizontal completions, and under extreme down-hole conditions. The presentation begins with a brief discussion of carbonate and sandstone stimulation categories and current philosophies, followed by a brief summary of the interesting history acidizing. The principal focus of the presentation is on new matrix and fracture acidizing fluid technologies – their applications and limitations – with a view and emphasis on industry needs and direction for the future.
