ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION
The selection of treatment fluids for matrix
stimulation is more complicated than for hydraulic fracturing.
In matrix acidizing, we first have to determine (he damage
mechanism and the location of the damage: then, we can
choose the proper treatment fluid based upon the damage type,
lithology, bottomhole temperature.and formationpermeability.

source
1. Filtrates from water-baaed fluids during Drilling,Completion, or Stimulation.
2. Water fingeringor coningof formationwater during production
FavoredCondition
1. The presenceof pore-liningclays such as illite,
2. Small pore throats causing high capillarypressure.
Diagnosis
1. For a production well, the water cut will incnxtse rapidly if water is being coned in fmm an
underlying aquifer or if waterbreaks throughfkoman injectionwell in a waterflood.
2. For a new completion, check if the water-based drilling fluid leaked off sign~lcantly. Also,
determine if the water saturationof pay zone is very high.
3. For a stimulatedkcnnpletedworkoverwell, check if water-baaed fluid leaked off too much.

gas reservoirs)
Removal Method
1. For gas well, Using nonaqueousacids (such as alcoholicacid system. ) because they also promote
the vaporizationof water in the producedgas.
2. For oil well, if temperature>250 F, using nonaqueousacetic aci~ if temperature<= 250 F,
using acid + solvent system, or acid+ surfhctantsystem,
