The horizontal well has the charecteristics of large span and strong heterogeneity
the damage caused by drilling
completion and exploitation is characterized by strong heterogeneity
and the efficiency of the general acidizing is low. Considering the existing technical bottleneck
we proposed a design of the efficient acidizing in heterogeneous carbonate reservoirs based on the description of damage characteristics
the optimization of acidizing modes
and the injection parameters
meanwhile
built a set of 3D fine mathematical models for the simulation of the damage of the h
orizontal wells
the optimization of acidizing modes and parameters
and the evaluation after acidizing. Based on the method above and the mathematical models
we carried out the systemic simulation of a horizontal well. The results show that the damage degree of the horizontal well is extremely uneven in the 3D space. In accordance with the general acidification
multistage acidification and partial acidification respectively
then we carried out the simulation analysis by using the diverting acid system with the strength of 0.5 m

/m. The partial acidification was better than the other two modes and its comprehensive skin coefficient decreased from 4.717 to -0.083. The optimum design of the process parameters was also carried out in the fourth part of the partial acidification. The optimal acid injection rate was 2 m
3
/min and the optimal acid volume was 66 m

. The results can solve the problem of the unsatisfactory matrix acidizing effect of the long section of the horizontal wells in carbonate reservoirs
and optimize the controllable parameters(such as treatment parameters) and uncontrollable parameters(such as formation parameters)
in order to achieve the reasonable and high efficiency acidification.
