To date, more than 100 sandstone-acidizing treatments have been performed in several Colombian oil fields, targeting the Villeta and Caballos Formations in the Putumayo Basin. Fines migration has been the main damage mechanism treated with this type of chemical stimulation. This paper summarizes a wide variety of sandstone-acid-stimulation case histories, highlighting aspects such as mechanical conditions and operational practices.
Introduction
The Putumayo Basin is located in southern Colombia. The Putumayo Basin shows a stratigraphic sequence containing Early Cretaceous (marine) to Miocene/Pliocene sediments (fluvial). Fig.
