Abstract
Methods include combining an amount of water and an acid retarding agent (RA), where the amount of water is present in an amount up to about 5 times the mass of the RA, inclusive, and wherein the RA includes at least one salt compound. An amount of acid is dissolved in the combined amount of water and RA to form a composition, where the amount of acid is a molar ratio of acid:RA of between 4.0 and 0.2, inclusive, and wherein the amount of acid is up to about 36% by weight of total weight of the composition. The composition is injected into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation at a pressure, which may be less than the fracture initiation pressure of the subterranean formation in some cases, while in other cases equal to or greater than the fracture initiation pressure.
