    Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Mud Acid in Well Stimulation
    Author(s): Udeagbara SG*

    Production enhancement from oil and gas fields is of key importance to operators. In order to achieve enhanced production, well stimulation techniques are often deployed to maximize recovery from oil and gas wells. Matrix acidizing is the most prominent technique deployed among other well stimulation techniques; considering its relatively lower cost, compared to hydraulic fracturing. Also of importance is the suitability of matrix acidizing to generate extra production and restore original productivity in wells that are damaged. Matrix acidization involves injection of an acid solution into the reservoir formation, at a pressure below the fracture pressure to dissolve some of the minerals within the rock with the key objective of removing damage near the wellbore, subsequently restoring the natural permeability and improving the well productivity. The standard acid treatments used in .. View more»
