About 9% of world oil production, and virtually all “enhanced oil recovery”, comes from
injecting gases, primarily steam and carbon dioxide, into oil reservoirs. Foam can improve …

Acidizing is a well-stimulation operation that consists of injecting a reactive fluid into the rock
formation. When in carbonate rocks, the dissolutions create conductivity channels called …

Reservoir stimulation and artificial lift are the two main activities of the production engineer
in the petroleum and related industries. The main purpose of stimulation is to enhance the …

This literature review summarizes the theory and application of chelating agents in acidizing
both carbonate and sandstone formations, and in hydraulic fracturing. The objective of this …

The effects of transport and reaction on the phenomenon of worm-hole formation were
investigated for a wide range of fluid systems including strong acids, weak acids, and …

Acidizing treatments are commonly used to remove near-wellbore damage and create
artificial flow channels in carbonate formations. Matrix acidizing treatments are most useful …

Matrix acidizing is one of the most effective stimulation techniques to achieve industrial
development of carbonate reservoirs. In this work, a two-scale continuum model is modified …

Matrix acidizing is a common technique for carbonate reservoir stimulation. In this work, a
new two-scale continuum model is developed to study the 2D acidizing process. The Navier …

A condensed review of recent advances accomplished in the development and the
applications of noninvasive tomographic and velocimetric measurement techniques to …

To tackle the challenge of great depth, high pressure and high temperature (HPHT), low
permeability and porosity, serious heterogeneity in deep oil/gas reservoirs, this paper …
