An Improved Modeling Of Fractal Patterns In Matrix Acidizing And Their Impact On Well Performance

This paper describes a model where wormholes, the primary feature of carbonate acidizing, are considered as fractals. The influences of acid volume, injection rate, fractal dimension, porosity, and the ratio of undamaged to damaged permeabilities on well performance are studied. Exact expressions of post-treatment skin effects are developed for vertical and horizontal wells.
