Abstract:
Provided are acidic treatment fluids comprising a weakly emulsifying surfactant, an aqueous base fluid, and an acid. In some embodiments, the treatment fluids are capable of forming short-lived oil-in-acid emulsions due, at least in part, to the interaction of at least a portion of the weakly emulsifying surfactant with one or more oil or gas molecules within a subterranean formation.
