Abstract:
A novel method for the placement of spearhead acid and stimulation of a hydrocarbon -bearing formation, said method comprising the steps of: providing a wellbore in need of multiple stages of stimulation; inserting an isolation plug in the wellbore at a predetermined location; inserting a perforating tool and a spearhead or breakdown acid into the wellbore simultaneously exposing the wireline and tool to the acid; positioning the tool at said predetermined location; perforating the wellbore with the tool thereby creating a perforated area; allowing the spearhead acid to come into contact with the perforated area for a predetermined period of time sufficient to prepare the formation for stimulation; removing the tool form the wellbore; and initiating the stimulation of the perforated area using a stimulation fluid.
Abstract:
An aqueous modified acid composition for industrial activities, said composition comprising: an alkanolamine and strong acid in a molar ratio of not less than 1:15, preferably not less than 1:10; it can also further comprise a metal iodide or iodate. Said composition demonstrates advantages over known conventional acids and modified acids.
Abstract:
A synthetic caustic composition for use in oil & gas industry activities, said composition comprising: metal hydroxides; an amino acid; urea; a sodium silicate and water.
Abstract:
