Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods of preventing precipitation of calcium citrate and iron-based scale during acidizing treatments and related compositions are provided as embodiments of the present invention. The acidizing treatment fluid includes citric acid and tetra-salts of EDTA.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of preventing precipitation of both calcium citrate and iron-based scale during acidizing treatments of a formation, the method comprising the steps of: contacting a formation with a fluid comprising an acidizing treatment fluid, where the acidizing treatment fluid consists essentially of citric acid and tetra-salts of EDTA, where the tetra-salts of EDTA are present in an amount sufficient to prevent the precipitation of both calcium citrate and iro…
