/ Well Stimulation · Matrix Acidizing

Matrix acidizing design software for sandstone and carbonate wells.

Design, optimize and post-evaluate matrix acidizing treatments with a physics-based acidizing simulator engineered for production gain, skin removal and treatment-risk reduction.

/ The problem

Acidizing failures are expensive — and avoidable.

Sub-optimal acid systems, poor diversion strategies and unrealistic placement assumptions repeatedly under-deliver against modeled gains. The cost is real: lost production, wasted chemicals, formation damage and HSE exposure on the wellsite.

  • 01Skin not removed — production gains below forecast
  • 02Wormholing inefficient in heterogeneous carbonates
  • 03Acid–mineral incompatibility risks fines migration
  • 04Coverage poor across long or layered intervals
  • 05Pumping schedules built on rules of thumb, not physics
/ The solution

Engineering decision-support, not a black box.

KEMISIM Matrix Acidizing Software couples reactive transport with well- and formation-specific physics to design treatments that actually remove skin and lift production — with full transparency on the assumptions driving every recommendation.

/ Engineering workflow

From problem to defendable engineering decision.

01
Characterize

Reservoir, fluids, mineralogy and damage mechanism captured in one model.

02
Design

Select acid systems, additives and diversion strategy with physics-based screening.

03
Optimize

Tune rate, volume and stage sequence against skin removal and treatment risk.

04
Execute & evaluate

Post-job match real pressure response and quantify production uplift.

/ Return on engineering

Production, risk and chemical cost — all moved in the right direction.

Operators using KEMISIM-grade acidizing design consistently achieve higher production uplift per dollar pumped, with fewer reactive workovers.

/ Questions engineers ask

Frequently asked questions.

+Does the software handle both sandstone and carbonate stimulation?

Yes. Sandstone workflows include HF/HCl mineral chemistry and fines management. Carbonate workflows include wormhole propagation with rate-dependent efficiency.

+Can it design diversion for long or layered intervals?

Yes. Chemical, mechanical and foam diversion can be modeled and sequenced into the pumping schedule.

+Is post-job evaluation supported?

Yes. Match real pumping pressure and post-job skin to refine future designs on the same field.
