Corrosion and Corrosion Protection of Unio in Carbonic Acid Medium
Abstract: Unio is a calciferous animal, and its outer surface is made of calcium carbonate. It usually happens in sources of sweet water. They create carbonic acid by absorbing carbon dioxide. It changes the pH of sweet water sources thus water becomes acidic. It develops corrosive environment for Unio. Carbonic acid interacts with Unio to form corrosion cells on the interface of Unio. This acid oxidizes calcium carbonate into calcium ions …

Mud Acid Effect on Fines Migration Problem Using a Newly Developed Al/Zr-Based Clay Stabilizer (A): Mitigation Can Happen
Abstract: Sandstone reservoirs exhibit severe fines migration problems subsequent to conventional mud acid (HCl: HF) treatments. The acid treatment proved to be effective for a relatively short period of time, with a sudden production decline owing to either that mud acid spent rapidly in close proximity to the wellbore, causing clays to migrate into the acidized area and re-plug the formation; or that the mud acid system actually weakens the structure …
