Acidizing/stimulation
This paper highlights an approach of using active hydrogen to stimulate hard-to-recover formations from candidate-well selection through pilot execution and evaluation.
The objective of this study is to use expired medications as green corrosion inhibitors that can be used during stimulation treatments. Because the medications are expired and not fit for human consumption, the cost is inherently low.
This paper presents a case study of a North African oil field producing from two Ordovician sands with differing permeabilities where significant benefit was achieved by fracture stimulating one or both intervals in two wells.

Engineers desperately need an alternative to acid placement through pipe, coiled tubing, or bullheading. For example, propellants have been around for years; however, their performance has not quite met the hype. Nevertheless, several case histories have been authored to suggest their efficacy; historically, some treatments have even been wildly successful.

This paper describes the stimulation of a horizontal water-injection well with a limited-entry-liner completion in an onshore carbonate reservoir using a large volume of viscoelastic diverter-acid fluid system ahead of the main acid stage.

This paper details a successful pilot to improve long-term well performance using acid stimulation aided by a tailored metal oxide nanoparticle-based fluid in the Wolfcamp A formation.
-
This study introduces a detailed model to capture the physics and chemistry of acid flow in complex horizontal wells completed in carbonate formations.

The authors of this paper describe a project in which far-field diverters were pumped to mitigate wellbore sanding and production loss in existing parent wells.

This paper describes an effort to use multiple technologies to better understand an Arkoma Basin reservoir and the interdisciplinary relationship between the reservoir’s subsurface hazards and a stimulation treatment.

The authors of this paper describe a project in which Raleigh frequency-shift distributed strain sensing monitored during production in a far-field observation well was translated to an estimated pressure profile.
