AI Technical Summary
Traditional acid solutions react too quickly at high temperatures, making it difficult to penetrate the reservoir. They are also highly corrosive to metal equipment, and the resulting precipitates can easily clog pore channels. Existing slow-release technologies suffer from problems such as pumping difficulties and weak erosion resistance of the isolation membrane.
An acid system consisting of hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, hydroxyethylidene diphosphonic acid, and corrosion-inhibiting acid is used. Through a specific ratio and preparation method, corrosion-inhibiting acid is formed to reduce the corrosion rate and extend the acidification time. Hydroxyethylidene diphosphonic acid is added as a scale inhibitor and a drainage aid to promote drainage.
It achieves low corrosion rate and long acidification time, and the acid can penetrate deep into the rock strata to create fractures, reduce secondary damage and improve oil and gas permeability.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of petroleum extraction technology, specifically relating to an acid solution for oil reservoir acid treatment and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Acidizing is an important technical measure for enhancing oilfield production and injection. Its core principle is to inject acid into the formation to dissolve mineral components (such as carbonate rocks and clay minerals) or blockages (such as drilling fluid, completion fluid residue, and scale) in the near-wellbore reservoir rocks. This expands or opens up oil and gas flow channels, restores or increases formation permeability, and ultimately improves reservoir permeability and oil and gas production.
[0003] Traditional acid systems have significant limitations in reservoir acid treatment: First, the reaction rate is too fast under high temperature conditions, causing the acid to be rapidly consumed in the near-wellbore zone, making it difficult to penetrate deep into the reservoir to form effective acid-etched fractures, especially in ultra-deep carbonate reservoirs where deep penetration performance is severely limited; Second, the acid is highly corrosive to metal equipment, and the precipitates such as calcium fluoride and iron hydroxide generated by the reaction with the rock can easily block pore channels, causing secondary damage to the reservoir; Third, although existing slow-reaction technologies (such as thickened acid and cross-linked acid) can prolong the reaction time, they have problems such as excessively high viscosity leading to pumping difficulties and poor backflow, or weak erosion resistance of the isolation film formed by surfactants.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field to develop a novel acid solution for oil reservoir acid treatment. This acid solution should possess comprehensive properties such as good slowing effect, long penetration distance, minimal secondary precipitation damage, low corrosivity to tubing, good compatibility with formation fluids and additives, strong adaptability, environmental friendliness, and controllable cost. Simultaneously, its preparation method should be as simple, controllable, and easy to prepare and apply on-site. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by providing an acid solution for oil layer acid treatment and its preparation method. The acid solution of this invention has the advantages of low corrosion rate and long acidification time.

Among them, hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid are the main acidifying agents, which dissolve carbonates and silicates to achieve the purpose of creating fractures in the rock formation; hydroxyethylidene diphosphonic acid is the scale inhibitor, which inhibits the formation of common inorganic scale and prevents these scales from clogging formation pores or tubing, thereby maintaining the smooth flow of wellbore and pipeline; corrosion inhibitor is the corrosion inhibitor, which forms an adsorption film on the surface of metal pipes, significantly reducing the corrosion rate of the acid solution on steel; auxiliary acid solution can reduce the acidification rate to achieve the purpose of creating fractures deep in the rock formation; drainage aid reduces the surface tension of the liquid and promotes drainage.
[0014] (2) The acid solution used for oil layer acid treatment in this invention has a strong corrosion inhibition effect, and the lowest corrosion rate at room temperature can reach 0.18 g / (m³). 2 The corrosion rate at 120℃ can reach as low as 0.72 g / (m³). 2 (·h); The acid solution used for oil layer acid treatment in this invention can significantly extend the acidification time and dissolve deep rock layers.
