Abstract

A method for optimized matrix acidizing, including a method for determining fracture pressure of a formation as a function of bottom hole temperature. First and second cycles of a step up rate test may be performed on the formation to be acidized at first and second test temperatures, respectively. From the first and second cycles, a mathematical relationship for fracture pressure of the formation as a function of bottom hole temperature may be formulated and integrated into a fluid placement simulator. A design matrix acidizing treatment plan accounting for an effect of bottom hole temperature on fracture gradient may simulated, and matrix acidizing treatment thereafter performed according to the design plan, thereby resulting in more accurate matrix acidizing treatment and minimization of inefficient fluid placement by adherence to actual formation fracture pressure limits.
