Effects of spent viscoelastic-surfactant acid flow on wormholes propagation and diverting performance in heterogeneous carbonate reservoir

The success of viscoelastic-surfactant (VES) acid in heterogeneous carbonate reservoirs depends on the wormholes propagation and diverting performance of acid. However, with the continuous propagation of wormholes in the high-permeability zone, the highly viscous spent acid enters the low-permeabili...
