  • Publication number: 20230279284
    Abstract: Described herein are methods for treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore with a retarded acidizing fluid containing an acid and an acid retarding agent, the concentrations of which are adjusted based on measured parameter values of the formation. Also described is a method for treating a subterranean formation by introducing an acid to the formation following the introduction of an acid retarding agent to the formation. Also described is a method for acid fracturing a subterranean formation including reducing the concentration of an acid retarding agent contained in a retarded acidizing fluid over the course of the acid fracturing operation.

  • Publication number: 20180163512
    Abstract: Methods of treating formation damage or other service induced damage in a near wellbore region of a wellbore of a subterranean formation, by treating a zone or zones in the near wellbore region, and diverting treatment fluid stages from the treated zones to untreated zone(s) with an acid precursor material and optionally also with fibers. The acid precursor material has an average particle size less than 1000 microns.
