Described herein are methods and techniques for deep reservoir stimulation of a hydrocarbon-containing subsurface formation. The methods may comprise introducing or injecting a formation-dissolving fluid, such as a wet acid-forming gas, into the subsurface formation; allowing the formation-dissolving fluid, such as the wet acid-forming gas, to react with the subsurface formation for a period of time; and producing hydrocarbons from the subsurface formation.

Methods for deep reservoir stimulation using acid-forming fluids

A method and system are described for imaging core samples associated with a subsurface region. The imaging results may be used to create or update a subsurface model and using the subsurface model and/or imaging results in hydrocarbon operations. The imaging techniques may include NMR imaging and CT imaging. Further, the imaging techniques may also include exposing the core sample to the imaging gas.
