  • Selective acidizing of a subterranean formation
    Patent number: 10428265
    Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed relate to methods of acidizing subterranean formations and systems for performing the method. In various embodiments, the present invention provides a method of acidizing a subterranean formation including placing an acid-resisting treatment composition including a surface modification agent in a subterranean formation, such that part of the subterranean formation includes an at least partially acid-resistant coating including the acid-resisting treatment composition or a reaction product thereof. The method also includes placing an acidizing composition in the subterranean formation, wherein the acidizing composition at least one of etches and dissolves a part of the subterranean formation substantially free of the acid-resistant coating.
