Date Jan. 14, 1988.An acidizing composition and method for slowly dissolving siliceous material by the slow production of very low concentrations of hydrofluoric acid is provided by this invention. The continual generation of very low concentrations of hydrofluoric acid is accomplished by the hydrolysis of hexafluorotitanate-containing compounds. The acidizing composition is particularly useful and advantageous for the solubilization of siliceous clay in or adjacent the pores of subterranean hydrocarbon formations thereby increasing the permeability of said formations. Because of the very low concentration of hydrofluoric acid in the acidizing composition solubilization of siliceous clay deposits is possible at relatively large distances from the point of injection into the formation, for acidizing formations which are too sensitive for more reactive acidizing compositions, for acidizing formations containing chlorite clays, and/or for acidizing formations having an elevated temperature including formation temperatures of 125 DEG C. or higher.
