Abstract

See full text

Methods and compositions for acid treating subterranean formations penetrated by well bores are provided. The compositions are each comprised of an aqueous acid solution, one or more acrylamide polymers dissolved in the acid solution, a liquid hydrocarbon dispersed in the acid solution, and one or more nonionic surface active agents having at least one reactive hydroxyl group per molecule. The acrylamide polymer or polymers increase the viscosity of the acid solution and the surface active agent or agents interact with the polymer or polymers whereby stabilized high viscosity results. The subterranean formation acid treating methods of the invention are carried out by introducing the high viscosity acid compositions therein, allowing the compositions to react until spent and recovering the compositions.
