ACID IN OIL EMULSION COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TREATING HYDROCARBON BEARING FORMATIONS

摘要

Disclosed herein is an acid in oil emulsion composition comprising an emulsifying agent; a dispersion agent; a base oil; and an acid wherein the acid in oil emulsion composition is substantially devoid of priority pollutants. Disclosed herein too is a method for treating a hydrocarbon bearing formation comprising blending an emulsifying agent a base oil and an acid to produce an acid in oil emulsion the acid in oil emulsion being substantially devoid of priority pollutants; and discharging the acid in oil emulsion into a downhole hydrocarbon bearing well formation where the acid in oil emulsion is operative to stimulate hydrocarbon production.
