A process for treating an underground formation, which process comprises: (a) introducing into the underground formation a treatment fluid comprising an organic acid precursor; (b) heating a zone within the formation, which zone contains at least a portion of the organic acid precursor, to a temperature which is above the natural formation temperature and sufficient to increase the rate of hydrolysis of the organic acid precursor; and (c) allowing the organic acid precursor to hydrolyse to produce an organic acid in an amount effective to acidize the underground formation.

L'invention concerne un procédé de traitement d'une formation souterraine, ledit procédé comprenant les étapes consistant à : (a) introduire dans la formation souterraine un fluide de traitement incluant un précurseur d'acide organique ; (b) chauffer une zone à l'intérieur de la formation, ladite zone contenant au moins une partie du précurseur d'acide organique, jusqu'à une température qui se situe au-dessus de la température naturelle de la formation et qui est suffisante pour augmenter la vitesse de l'hydrolyse du précurseur d'acide organique ; et (c) laisser s'hydrolyser le précurseur d'acide organique pour produire un acide organique en une quantité efficace pour acidifier la formation souterraine.
