EFFICIENCY OF ACID TREATMENT OF THE BOTTOM BOREHOLE ZONE OF THE WELL FOR SEDIMENTS WITH HARD-TO-REMOVE RESERVES by A. Kopytov, S. Levkovich, E. Levitina, I. Kovalev

“…The article discusses various methods of acidizing the bottomhole zone of wells operating deposits with hard-to-recover reserves The main criteria to be met by the acid composition used are given Results and Discussion The results of acid treatments in the wells of the Bazhenov and Tyumen deposits are presented For the Bazhenov deposits, in order to restore and improve the permeability of the bottomhole zone of formations composed of terrigenous reservoirs with high carbonate content, it is recommended to carry out acidizing at the stage of well development For the Tyumen deposits, the efficiency of treatment of the bottomhole zone of the well for individual fields differs significantly and depends on the treatment method and the concentration of reagents Conclusion For sediments of the Bazhenov formation at the Salym field, the success rate of operations is 20-30%, which is associated with the complex mineralogical composition of the rocks, and with low values of reservoir parameters, as well as temperature and pressure conditions of occurrence For the deposits of the Tyumen suite at the Lovinskoye field, the effectiveness of acid treatments varies from 30 to 100%, At the Russkinskoye field, the success of the measures is estimated at 95%.…”
