Matrix Acidizing
This course provides participants with a thorough understanding of matrix acidizing — a key stimulation technique used to restore and enhance well productivity. It covers the chemistry, design, execution, and evaluation of acidizing treatments in both carbonate and sandstone reservoirs.
Description
The Matrix Acidizing course is designed to equip petroleum and production professionals with the knowledge and practical skills needed to design and implement effective acid stimulation treatments. Participants will explore the mechanisms of formation damage, acid–rock interactions, fluid selection, and treatment design strategies for various reservoir types.
Through a combination of theoretical concepts and examples, this course explains how to optimize treatment parameters to maximize production, minimize formation damage, and ensure long-term well performance. Real-world case studies demonstrate best practices and lessons learned from field applications.
Matrix acidizing is a critical well stimulation method that enhances hydrocarbon flow by dissolving formation damage or improving rock permeability near the wellbore. When properly designed and executed, acidizing can significantly increase production rates and extend well life.
This training provides a comprehensive overview of matrix acidizing principles, operational techniques, and the latest advancements in acid systems and diversion methods. It is ideal for engineers and field personnel seeking to improve the efficiency and success of their stimulation operations.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
-
Understand the fundamentals of matrix acidizing and its role in well stimulation.
-
Identify formation damage mechanisms and suitable acidizing approaches.
-
Design acidizing treatments for sandstone and carbonate reservoirs.
-
Select appropriate acid systems, additives, and diversion techniques.
-
Analyze treatment performance and evaluate post-acidizing well results.
-
Apply safety, environmental, and operational best practices in field implementation.
The course combines interactive lectures, exercises, and case studies. Participants will engage in group discussions and problem-solving sessions that simulate real-world acidizing scenarios. The methodology ensures participants can apply the concepts learned directly to field operations and decision-making.
Organizations will benefit through:
-
Improved well productivity and reduced downtime.
-
Optimized acid treatment design, reducing unnecessary costs and risks.
-
Enhanced understanding of formation damage control.
-
Greater operational efficiency and technical competency in stimulation projects.
-
