Abstract
Matrix acidizing treatment are designed and performed in a manner that takes into account radial acid flow into the formation. Subterranean well characteristics are determined (e.g., mineralogical and petrophysical characteristics). One of more candidate acids is selected. A linear pore volume of acid to breakthrough (PVBT) curve is generated for each candidate acid. The linear PVBT curves are modified to account for radial acid flow. The optimal acid is selected by considering wormhole development and cost. An initial acid pumping schedule is generated for the formation to be acidized, including the optimal acid, the treatment volume and the injection rate. Computer software is used to consider the subterranean well characteristics, simulate the initial acid pumping schedule and compare results with the radial PVBT curve. The initial schedule is modified until the results are consistent with the radial PVBT curve. An acidizing treatment is then performed.
