    U820 is a low pH chelating agent fluid that can stimulate high temperature carbonate formations from 200°C to 400°F. It works by dissolving calcium carbonate through chemical reactions at low pH. U820 has been shown to form dominant wormholes and increase permeability in limestone cores over a wide range of pH values and temperatures, outperforming acids alone. It has low viscosity, can be inhibited to prevent corrosion up to 400°F, and does not form sludge in contact with crude oil or iron. U820 is recommended for temperatures over 300°F while U821 is for under 300°F due to differences in pH levels.

    High Temperature Carbonate Fluid U820

    A carbonate matrix stimulation


    engineering solution
    $SSOLFDWLRQV Low pH chelating agent fluids based on U106 (field mix U820) can be used
    to produce wormholes and increase the permeability of limestone and
    ಴ 6WLPXODWH+7
    dolomite formations. We have demonstrated that chelating agent
    FDUERQDWHV formulations can be formulated into efficient solvents for acidizing limestone
    cores, over a wide range of pH values. Dominant wormholes were produced
    ಴ 5HPRYHFDUERQDWH
    at temperatures as high as 200 oC (400 oF). Predictions of optimal flow rates
    VFDOHIURPQRQ using the Damkçhler number equations are close to the observed values of
    FDUERQDWHIRUPDWLRQV the current study.
    ಴ %HQHILWV The mechanism involves:

    CaCO3 + 2 H+ = Ca2+ + CO2 + H2O (1)
    ฀ Acid solutions can be
    inhibited to 400 oF with
    0.4% A272 with no CaCO3 + Na3HEDTA = NaCaHEDTA + Na2CO3. (Equations 1 and 2

    The low pH solvents appear to be very effective and efficient matrix fluids at
    ฀ Has been used high temperatures where HCl (and organic acids) are too aggressive to
    successfully in produce efficient wormholes at typical flow rates for most matrix treatments.
    U820 (pH 4) should be used for temperatures > 300 oF and U821 (pH 2.5) at
    MudSOLV temperatures < 300 oF.. Wormholes also have been proven to 400 oF using
    formulations for filter very moderate pumping rates. See Below. Based on comparisons of
    cake clean up wormhole morphology, a solution of U820 used to stimulate limestone at 350
    oF appears to be equivalent to 15% HCl used at 150 oF and the same
    ฀ Wormhole formation pumping rate. The 15% HCl solution (or organic acids would be much too
    documented to 400 oF aggressive at 350 oF and would cause general face attack). The only real
    alternative would be SXE-HT.

    The chelating agent formulations have lower viscosity values compared to
    not formed sludge in
    emulsified acid and should be easier to place using coiled tubing. In addition,
    contact with waxy these fluids can be inhibited with small amounts of special formulations to
    crude and Fe(III) iron produce very low corrosion rates, even at high temperatures. These
    materials should be more efficient than the organic acid blends, based on the
    )HDWXUHV data reported here for acetic acid and formic acid, which are too reactive at
    350 oF to produce efficient, dominant wormholes.

    EXTRODINARY CORROSION PROTECTION


    The U821 formulations are unique fluids that have proven to cause much less sludge formation in the
    presence of ferric iron and waxy crude oil. Figure 3 show the break out of acid in contact with a
    Colombian crude oil and U820 containing 2000 ppm Fe(III).
    Corrosion inhibitor schedules have been developed for U820/U821 that includes carbon steel, coiled
    tubing and 13 Cr tubing and allows treatments to be performed to 400 oF.
