Improved acidization methods and compositions are provided wherein the compositions comprise an aqueous solution comprising one or more esters or polyesters of hydroxy acid or of glycerol. The solution may be placed in a well where the esters or polyesters undergo hydrolysis. The hydrolysis of the esters or polyesters occurs at a slower reaction rate than that of several other known acidization esters, such as diethyleneglycol diformate, at temperatures higher than 600C or even higher than 1000C. Thus, the acidization solution may be distributed substantially throughout a region in a well where acidization is required before hydrolysis is completed, despite being exposed to relatively high temperatures. The hydrolysis may result in the slow release of an acid that is capable of consuming all or most of an undesirable substance in the well, e.g., a filter cake.

La présente invention concerne des procédés et compositions améliorés d'acidification, les compositions comprenant une solution aqueuse comprenant un ou plusieurs esters ou polyesters d~hydroxy-acide ou de glycérol. La solution peut être placée dans un puits où les esters ou polyesters subissent une hydrolyse. L'hydrolyse des esters ou polyesters se produit à une vitesse de réaction plus lente que celle de plusieurs autres esters d'acidification connus, tels que le diformate de diéthylèneglycol, à des températures supérieures à 600 °C ou même supérieures à 1000 °C. Ainsi, la solution d'acidification peut être distribuée sensiblement dans toute une région dans un puits où l'acidification est nécessaire avant que l'hydrolyse ne soit achevée, en dépit du fait d'être exposée à des températures relativement élevées. L'hydrolyse peut entraîner une libération lente d'un acide qui est capable de consommer la totalité ou la majeure partie de la substance indésirable dans le puits, par exemple, un gâteau de filtration.
