Abstract: A system and method are provided for stimulating heterogeneous subterranean formations using a tailored particulate diverter (PD). In some embodiments, a wellbore completion string includes an inflow control device (ICD) positioned in a high-permeability zone and an additional completion section positioned in a lower-permeability zone. The ICD includes restrictive openings, such as nozzles or valves, configured to impose a predictable pressure drop to balance inflow during production. During stimulation, the tailored particulate diverter comprising degradable diverter particles suspended in a carrier fluid is pumped into the completion string. The diverter particles exhibit a multimodal particle size distribution with at least four distinct size modes selected to bridge and seal the restrictive openings of the ICD, diverting stimulation fluid into the lower-permeability zone.

Abstract: Treatment of hydrocarbon formations using single-phase aqueous acid blends that contain arginine is described herein. The single-phase aqueous fluid includes one or more strong acid molecules and arginine in water, wherein the one or more strong acid molecules are present in a concentration range of 7.5 wt % to 28 wt %, based on the weight of the aqueous fluid, and arginine is present in a molar ratio of arginine to the one or more strong acid molecules that is from 1:100 to 1:5.
