Abstract:Effective mudcake removal is essential to restore the optimal well productivity/injectivity after different drilling operations. Typically, this objective is achieved by using harsh chemical treatments such as hydrochloric acid (HCl), organic acids and oxidizers. However, these methods have been limited due to associated high corrosion rates, high operation cost, and un-even mudcake removal. This task becomes even more difficult and very challenging in horizontal/multilateral wells. Organic acids and acid prec… Show more
