Session 2: Innovations in Fluid Systems

09 Dec 2025
Al Dana Ballroom
Technical Sessions

Carbonate reservoirs present unique challenges for matrix acidising due to varying completion lengths, reservoir conditions, and formation characteristics like permeability, lithology, temperature, and pressure. Novel fluid solutions are essential to minimise formation damage, optimise wormholing efficiency, and enhance hydrocarbon recovery.  This session will explore recent innovations, field applications, and insights into these fluid systems, comparing their performance with conventional systems. Participants will gain valuable knowledge about the latest research, industry best practices, and emerging trends in acid stimulation for carbonate reservoirs.
