Abstract:
The present invention refers to a method for removing fouling in carbonate reservoirs and/or depleted reservoirs by adding carbon dioxide to industrial or desulphated water to produce carbonic acid, in producing well stimulation operations, to be used as a weak acid for removing fouling in remote operation aiming at keeping the productivity of producing wells and lessening the need for remote operations with stimulation vessel, and therefore reducing operating costs.
