Several unknowns still remain in carbonate matrix acidizing. Poor correlation between porosity and permeability in carbonate formations, the possibility of natural fractures and limitations in the economically practical number of core samples often result in a largely unknown permeability variation across the pay. Intelligent fluid systems have been developed to address such uncertainty, but the lack of real time downhole data during the treatment typically prevent confirmation of the fluid system efficiency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
