Abstract: Acidizing fluids may be formulated to minimize the detrimental effects of precipitation during an acidizing operation by promoting production of precipitates from a subterranean formation. Methods for acidizing a subterranean formation can comprise: providing an acidizing fluid comprising a stabilized microemulsion carrier fluid, a chelating agent, and an acid source; introducing the acidizing fluid into a subterranean formation; at least partially dissolving a surface in the subterranean formation with the acidizing fluid, thereby forming a spent fluid; and producing the spent fluid from the subterranean formation.

Abstract: Alkali metal ions may lead to the production of insoluble materials during the course of stimulating a subterranean formation, particularly when acidizing a siliceous formation or a formation containing a siliceous material. Alkali metal ions may be sequestered using an alkali metal complexing agent in order to reduce their propensity toward forming insoluble materials in a subterranean formation. Methods for stimulating a subterranean formation can comprise: providing a treatment fluid that comprises an alkali metal complexing agent comprising a cyclic polyether having between 3 and 6 ether oxygen atoms present therein, and hydrofluoric acid, a hydrofluoric acid-generating compound, or any combination thereof; and introducing the treatment fluid into a subterranean formation.

Abstract: Treatment fluids comprising a silicate complexing agent can be used in conjunction with acidizing a subterranean formation that contains a siliceous material. Inclusion of the silicate complexing agent in the treatment fluids may eliminate or reduce the production of insoluble fluorosilicates and aluminosilicates that can occur when an acidizing operation is conducted. Methods for treating a subterranean formation can comprise: introducing to a subterranean formation a treatment fluid that comprises a silicate complexing agent comprising a tertiary amine compound, a functionalized pyridine compound, any salt thereof, or any combination thereof; and hydrofluoric acid, a hydrofluoric acid-generating compound, or any combination thereof.
