Wellbore Cleaning and Acid Stimulation

 AcidBoost™ 

High-performance, fully customizable microemulsion additives used to replace solvents for enhanced acid stimulation at lower dosages

Optimize Wellbore Cleaning at Minimal Cost

AcidBoost™ biosurfactant-based additives deliver high-efficiency, cost-effective wellbore cleaning, acid stimulation, scale removal and corrosion control for the most challenging well environments—all in a single chemical package.

AcidBoost is part of the Boost line of well-performance-enhancing technologies. It replaces traditional acidizing solvent packages to optimize downhole iron control, corrosion inhibition, and carbonate dissolution—ultimately delivering a cleaner wellbore for maximized production rates.

Multifunctional

Combines multiple treatments into one package for more efficient wellbore cleaning, and iron and corrosion control

Profitable

Lowers operating costs, boosts acid treatment effectiveness and opens up production pathways for optimal well performance

Safe

Made from natural, HSE-friendly ingredients with no toxicity issues and lower effective dosage rates

Acidboost vs. non-Acidboost
How It Works:

AcidBoost

Multiple Treatments In One Package Boosts Acid Treatment Effectiveness Lowers Operating Costs Replaces Traditional Acidizing Solvents

AcidBoost replaces traditional acidizing solvent packages to optimize downhole iron control, corrosion inhibition, and carbonate dissolution—ultimately delivering a cleaner wellbore for maximized production rates.  

Removes oily coating from reservoir rock, allowing acid treatment to access and dissolve scale from the wellbore

Forms a microemulsion that deploys solvent downhole with the acid treatment, turning a two-step treatment into one step

Returns the reservoir to its natural water-wet state, while protecting downhole casing strings from corrosion. Results in enhanced production at lower treatment and well maintenance costs

Prepares the reservoir surface for enhanced acid stimulation with wettability alteration— restoring the reservoir to water wet state.

Better Results Than Traditional Acidizing Solvents

Laboratory testing confirms that AcidBoost outperforms conventional wellbore cleaning packages and solvents, like Xylene, while keeping downhole equipment protected from corrosive attack.  

Simpler, Safer Acid Stimulation

AcidBoost offers a low-toxicity, efficient alternative to most organic solvents used for wellbore remediation. This environmentally friendly biosurfactant formulation replaces the need to send pure solvent down prior to acid treatment, simplifying wellbore cleaning treatments while bringing the well back into profitable production with less downtime.
