Squeeze Calculations
The volume of carbonate dissolved depends on rock type, whether limestone of stone or dolomite:-
(a) For Dolomite
4 HCl + CaMg(CO3)2 --> CaCl2 + MgCl2 + 2H2O + 2CO2
(b) For Limestone
2HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
An example calculation, using 15% HCl and limestone is as follows:
Molar strength of 15% HCl by wt. HCl = 4.412 gmol/litre
= 16.7 gmol/gallon
For limestone, 2 moles HCl reacts with 1 mole CaCO3,
therefore
For 1 gallon of acid (16.7 moles), 8.35 moles CaCO 3 will react.
1 mole CaCO3 = 0.100 kg.
8.35 moles = 0.835 kg.
= 1.841 lbs.
An example calculation, using 28% HCl and dolomite is as follows:-
Molar strength of 28% by wt. HCl = 8.745 gmol/litre
= 33.1 gmol/gallon.
For dolomite, 4 moles HCl reacts with 1 mole CaMg(CO 3)2,
therefore
For 1 gallon of acid (33.1 moles), 8.276 moles CaMg(CO 3)2 will react.
1 mole CaMg(CO3)2 = 0.184 kg.
8.276 moles = 1.525 kg.
= 3.363 lbs.
Similarly for other Acid Strengths:-
Percent HCL Lbs. Carbonate dissolved
per gal Acid
Dolomite Limestone
5% bwt. 0.539 0.585
10% bwt. 1.104 1.198
15% bwt. 1.696 1.841
28% bwt. 3.363 3.649
The matrix volume of rock dissolved depends on the rock density and porosity:
Dolomite = 2.87 S.G.
Limeston (Calcite) = 2.71 S.G.
Therefore, if 1000 lbs of dolomite have been dissolved, the carbonate volume
dissolved is:
1000 = 5.6 cu.ft
2.87 x 62.4
If the porosity is 22%:
Vol. of matrix dissolved = 5.6 = 7.2 cu.ft
(1-0.22)
Generally speaking, the carbonate reservoir formations of Zakum (Thamama)
and Umm-Shaif (Arab) are as follows:
Zakum : Limestone, CaCO 3
Umm-Shaif : Dolomite, CaMg(CO3)2
For Zakum wells therefore, a carbonate density of 2.71 S.G should be used
to calcuate matrix volume, where as Umm-Shaif wells should use 2.87 S.G.
