3. ACID TREATMENT
3.1 Acid Treatment Design
The formation damage inferred from the completion
test was believed to be caused by the mechanism of
drill cuttings and 94,500 bbls of water-based mud
invasion. Weighting material of the drilling mud was
bentonite clay and the major components of drill
cuttings were quartz, tuff and feldspars. Those
materials are all soluble in hydrofluoric acid (HF) to
various extents. Based on this information, Awi 8-7
well was selected as a candidate for acid stimulation.

4. STIMULATION RESULTS
A post-acidizing injection test that consisted of multirate injection test, pressure fall-off test, and injection
PTS survey was conducted to measure the wellbore
improvement from the acid stimulation. As can be
seen on Figure-9, a significant reduction in downhole pressure at corresponding injection rates was
observed during the multi-rate injection test after the
acid job. The test confirmed an increase of injectivity
index from 2.56 to 6.6 kph/psi. Analysis of the
pressure fall-off data showed that the permeability
thickness (kh) increased from 252,000 to 403,000
md-ft. and the skin decreased from +2.2 to -1.2 (see
Figure-10). Such results are clear indications of better
acceptance and reduced restriction to fluid flow.
