Abstract
Abstract A good surfactant-based acid should have the following properties: thermal stability, compatibility with cations, low viscosity in live acids but high viscosity in spent acids, ease to be removed by internal or external breakers, and no harm to the environment. Corrosion inhibitors must be added to the acid system to protect well tubulars and minimize the Fe contamination. The components of corrosion inhibitor usually contain short-chain alcohols (e.g. isopropyl alcohol) that can significantly affect the properties of surfactant-based acids. Therefore, corrosion inhibitor plays an important role in evaluating acid systems. Two amine oxide surfactants (S and SW) were examined in this work. The composition of the surfactants was similar, but there was more 1,2 propanediol in surfactant SW. Three corrosion inhibitors (A, B, and C) were tested and all of them contained a certain amount of propargyl alcohol. However, there was a larger amount of isopropanol in corrosion inhibitor A, and more butanol in corrosion inhibitor B. A HPHT rheometer was used to measure the rheological properties (viscosity, G’ and G") of surfactant-based water system, live and spent acids from 75 to 300oF at 300 psi. The results show that the addition of corrosion inhibitor to spent acid significantly reduced its elastic (G’) and viscous modulus (G’’). The maximum temperature that these two surfactants can be used was 220°F. Compared to surfactant-based acids made with corrosion inhibitor B or C, the acids with corrosion inhibitor A showed a much higher viscosity, but phase separation was observed after heating to 300°F. Although corrosion inhibitor B was compatible with surfactants, it adversely influenced the rheological properties of acids. If corrosion inhibitor C was used, the system with surfactant SW can be effectively used at temperatures above 150oF; whereas acids prepared with S1 can be efficiently applied at lower temperatures (<150°F). Cryo-TEM studies showed that corrosion inhibitors affected the rod-like micelle network, which caused the reduced apparent viscosity. Results of this work can be used to better select acid additives to maximize the performance of amine oxide-based acids.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
