(2017-04-26)Viscoelastic surfactant (VES)-based acid systems are used in acid-diversion applications. However, high-temperature, interaction of the VES and Fe(III) (as a contaminant), addition of alcohol-based additives, and chelating ...
-
(2018-12-03)Viscoelastic surfactants were introduced in hydraulic fracturing fluids as a proppant carrier in order to replace polymers which possess high potential for formation damage. Yet, VES technology is limited by its low thermal ...
-
(2016-07-28)Regular HCl has been used for years in carbonate stimulation treatment because it reacts rapidly with carbonate rocks. However, due to fast reaction, the acid reacts near the wellbore area and is not able to travel deeper ...
-
(2015-11-13)Acid stimulation is a widely used well treatment technique applied to enhance oil production by creating conductive channels through the formation, resulting an improved flow property. Viscoelastic surfactant (VES)-based ...
