Abstract

A method for acidizing a subsurface formation using a treatment fluid includes injecting a treatment fluid including a strong acid, a buffer, a thermochemical component, a foaming agent and nanoparticles into the wellbore, thereby exposing the treatment fluid to subsurface formation conditions. The method further includes allowing a temperature of the wellbore to activate the thermochemical component, causing an exothermic reaction generating nitrogen gas, pressure, and heat, thereby forming fractures within the subsurface formation. The method further includes allowing the treatment fluid and nitrogen gas to mix within the subsurface formation, thereby forming a foamed acid within the fractures to acidize the subsurface formation.
