This chapter, entitled “Acidising and other Matrix Treatments”, discusses the chemical methods of well stimulation. The common factor among these treatments is that they are carried out under matrix conditions i.e. the injected fluids flow radially away from the wellbore since the treatment fluid is injected into the well at rates and pressures below that required for creation of a hydraulic fracture. This chapter mainly concentrates on the injection of acid (“Acidising”), the most frequently employed of the chemical treatments. Matrix (stimulation) treatments are a common form of well intervention aimed at removing this formation damage and restoring the well to its natural, undamaged inflow performance. An alternative stimulation...
