Many open -hole acid treatments are being conducted by pumping acid through jetting ports placed at the end of coiled tubing or drill pipe . The filter -cake on the bore -hole is broken by the jet ; the acid -soluble material is dissolved , creating wormholes in the formation . This combination of two acting factors creates more stimulation beyond the jetting action area . Existing papers have mentioned the advantages of using jetting both for damage removal and as the preliminary stage before further acidizing . Many papers discuss theory and practical implementation of wormholing during acid jobs and the resulting injectivity enhancement , too . However , there is no complete research regarding jetting efficiency with regards to permeability restoration due to filter -cake disruption , and therefore , no data exists for efficient filter -cake removal by acid jetting just prior to wormholing . My project objective is to conduct experiments of acid jetting , defining the parameters that aid to restore injectivity . Based on the parameters obtained from the experiments , I developed a set of recommendations for acid jetting design and optimization . |
