    Reworked Acid Stim Presentations

    Traditional acid well stimulation involves injecting a series of chemical mixtures into an oil well to improve porosity and permeability in the geologic formation. After drilling and perforating a well, acids and other chemicals are injected to clean up damage from the drilling process and open perforations. This includes acid washing the wellbore and acid matrix stimulation or fracturing treatments injected into the formation below or above the fracture pressure to dissolve obstructions and allow oil to flow more easily to the wellbore.

    After drilling a well, the producing


    section is perforated

    perforations

    In traditional acid well stimulation, a


    series of chemical mixtures, including a
    main acid stage, are injected into the
    well to clean-up near the wellbore any
    damage or obstructions to oil reaching
    the well from the drilling process.
    The chemicals added may include strong
    and weak acids, corrosion inhibitors, deemulsifiers, etc.
    Acid washing is performed on the
    wellbore to remove scale or open the
    perforations
    Injections into the formation include
    acid matrix stimulation and acid
    fracturing

    Acid treatments being injected into the


    formation (above)

    Acid matrix stimulation is at pressures


    below the fracture pressure of the
    formation, and acid fracturing is above.
    The acid treatments work by dissolving
    obstructions, including in the formation,
    and increasing the ability of the oil to
    flow to the wellbore and be produced.

    wellbore to be
