Abstract

See full text

Subterranean formations having temperatures above about 250.degree. F. are acidized by introducing a substantially anhydrous foamed treating fluid through a well and into the formation. The treating fluid contains a gas, a nonionic substantially hydrophobic foaming agent and an acid precursor which is normally liquid halogenated hydrocarbon having one or two carbon atoms per molecule. The acid precursor hydrolyzes in situ to generate a hydrohalic acid.
