Abstract:
An acid source and a pressure source are provided. The acid may be fresh hydrochloric acid or (partially) spent hydrochloric acid. Pressurized acid from the acid source, pressurized by the pressure source, is injected into a wellbore during an acidizing operation. In addition, a carbon dioxide source may be provided. Acid from the acid source is combined with carbon dioxide from the carbon dioxide source, and the combined acid and carbon dioxide, pressurized by the pressure source, are injected into the wellbore during the acidizing operation. A processor located at the earth's surface or downhole may be provided. The processor can monitor the relative proportions of carbon dioxide and acid in the acid/carbon dioxide combination, as well as the pressure of the acid/carbon dioxide combination at an injection site in the wellbore. Acidizing operation management decisions can be made based on the monitored relative proportions and/or the monitored pressure.
