Acidizing Applications in Sandstones and Carbonates
Acid treatment is one of the longest established ways to stimulate a well, yet field results are often inconsistent. This course explains how acid interacts with sandstone and carbonate formations, when it is the right choice and how to judge a well's response afterwards. The emphasis is on practical decisions that raise the success rate of acid jobs.
