Aiming at the problem
of single and poor adaptability of Bai-823
plugging removal system, an authigenic mud acid system using methyl
formate, ammonium chloride, and ammonium fluoride as raw materials
is proposed, which can adapt to the temperature of 60–80 °C
of the target reservoir and sandstone lithology. The acid-generating
capacity of the authigenic acid system at different temperatures was
evaluated. The results showed that the H
+
concentration
remained at 3.35 mol/L after 180 min at 80 °C, which indicated
that authigenic acid could generate acid continuously and thus be
competent for acidizing and plugging removal of further wells. The
corrosion rate of authigenic acid to N80 steel was further investigated.
When 2 wt % SA1-3B corrosion inhibitor was used, the corrosion rate
was only 0.15 g/(m
2
·h). At the same time, the corrosion
capacities of authigenic acid to rock core and scale samples were
studied, which were 19.38 and 93.81%, respectively, indicating that
the authigenic acid system realized pipeline and reservoir friendliness
when it was able to effectively remove plugging. Finally, a core displacement
experiment was carried out to simulate reservoir acidizing for plugging
removal. The results showed that the core permeability increased from
1.00 to 1.63 after acidizing modification with authigenic acid. All
of the above studies show that a kind of authigenic mud acid has been
successfully prepared, and a new idea for the authigenic acid system
has been proposed.
