Perspective Directions for Improving Acid Compositions and Methods of Influence on the Bottomhole Formation Zone

Author details

Abstract

The development of the acid treatment method of bottomhole formation zone (BFZ) has gone from understanding the physics and chemistry of the acid compositions (AC) reactions with rocks through the expansion of the acid components range, AC modification by foaming, emulsification, generation to modern acid treatment methods with a wide range of scientifically based ACs. Through trial and error, we came to understanding the importance of maintaining high relative phase permeability of oil and gas in the BFZ with the negativity of its water saturation, imparting a hydrophilic state to the reservoir surface, preventing and eliminating the formation of clogging sedimentation as a result of corrosion during injection along the wellbore, neutralization rocks, mixing with oil, formation waters, hydrogen sulfide. As a result, the AC must additionally include ion stabilizers, steel corrosion inhibitors, demulsifying agents for the prevention and destruction of water-oil emulsions, hydrophilizers and a number of optional additives if necessary: nonionic surfactants, alcohols, polymers, antiflatters, solvents for asphaltene-resin-paraffin deposits and a number of others. It is not always possible to combine them in one AC, which implies a complex effect on the BFZ with a number of compositions. The article discusses the conditions for effective acid treatment, which presupposes its facilitated removal of solid impurities, water-oil emulsions, hydrophyllization of the reservoir surface and minimal water saturation. Options for improving known acid compositions using nonionic surfactants, polar nonelectrolytes, technical lignosulfonates, including direct and reverse acid- containing emulsions were proposed. Technological approaches to heating the BFZ with heat-generating inorganic compositions were outlined to transfer the hydrochloric acid dissolution of dolomite into the diffusion region for the purpose of easy formation of acid dissolution channels.
