  • Publication number: 20190119552
    Abstract: A method for treating an oil-bearing subsurface formation is disclosed that includes providing one ore more acid soluble materials into a wellbore in the oil-bearing subsurface formation. The wellbore may include a plurality of first perforations in the wellbore that have been used to form first fractures emanating from the wellbore in the formation. The acid soluble materials may be used as a diverting agent to form plugs in existing perforations in the wellbore. The plugs may inhibit fluid flow through the existing perforations. The plugs may be removed at any time desired by providing an acid into the wellbore or by incorporating a delayed source of acid in the diverting agent.
