Abstract: The horizontal well greatly increase the flow area of oil. It's advantages are much higher than that of vertical well. However, the serious heterogeneity of the reservoir brings great challenges to the effective acid placement in horizontal well. Based on the development situation of carbonate reservoirs in the Middle East, this paper systematically analyzes the main technical difficulties faced by acidization of horizontal well. According to the different development stages of the oilfield, the targeted acidizing technology for horizontal wells are proposed. The three-dimensional radial acidizing simulation model for horizontal wells is also deduced. According to the simulation, the influence of acid placement patterns on the acidizing effect are analyzed for both new and old horizontal wells. The research shows that the targeted acid placement pattern based on the drilling damage is better than the uniformed, physical-based and cone-shaped acid placement pattern for new horizontal well; under the same acidizing effect, the targeted acidizing can save at least 10% acid use; the production index analysis of 5 acidized new wells shows that the targeted acidizing can improve the production performance of those wells well. For the acidizing of old horizontal wells, partial acidizing can effectively balance the production profile of horizontal wells; for the partial low-permeability interval with reconstruction, 1.5 in. coiled tubing can be used for jet acidizing, which can penetrate deep into the reservoir through acid wormhole; the analysis of acidization in 7 old wells conducted by re-acidizing shows that targeted acidizing can greatly improve the production capacity for old horizontal wells.
