Matrix Acidizing for CCS & CO2 Storage Operators

CO2 storage operators need physics-grade injectivity, cement integrity and scale management to meet regulatory MMV obligations. KEMISIM aligns matrix acidizing design with how CCS and CO2 storage operators actually plan, execute and audit field programs.

What is matrix acidizing?

Matrix acidizing is a near-wellbore stimulation technique that pumps reactive fluids — typically HCl, mud-acid or organic blends — below fracturing pressure to dissolve formation damage, restore permeability and remove skin in both sandstone and carbonate reservoirs. The way CCS and CO2 storage operators apply matrix acidizing differs from other segments — driven by their portfolio scale, governance model and the timelines under which they take engineering decisions.

Benefits

  • Restore original well productivity by removing formation damage
  • Bypass near-wellbore skin without creating hydraulic fractures
  • Lower lifting cost per barrel through higher PI
  • Extend economic life of mature wells
  • Reduce reactive workover frequency

Typical use cases

  • Damaged sandstone wells with high skin
  • Carbonate wells requiring wormhole stimulation
  • Long horizontal wells needing chemical diversion
  • Re-stimulation of mature producers

The KEMISIM offering

KEMISIM Matrix Acidizing Software couples reactive transport, mineral kinetics and wormhole-propagation physics to design acid systems, diversion stages and pumping schedules that actually remove skin — with full transparency on every assumption. For CCS and CO2 storage operators, this translates into faster design cycles, auditable engineering and a defensible technical narrative for partners, regulators and lenders.
