Acid emulsifiers are specialized surfactants used in acidizing treatments to create stable acid-in-oil emulsions that slow acid reaction rates and improve penetration in carbonate formations. UNPChemicals' ACMET series features coco dimethyl quat for rapid emulsion formation in high-salinity environments and tallow dimethylammonium chloride for high-temperature stability, providing controlled acid release and enhanced stimulation effectiveness.

Acid emulsifiers are essential chemical agents designed to form stable acid-oil emulsions during well stimulation treatments, effectively delaying acid reactivity while improving zonal coverage in carbonate and sandstone reservoirs. These specialized surfactants create a protective oil barrier around acid droplets, enabling deeper penetration and more controlled dissolution of formation minerals. UNPChemicals' ACMET series utilizes advanced quaternary ammonium compounds, including coco dimethyl quat for fast emulsification in harsh brine environments and tallow dimethylammonium chloride for reliable performance in high-temperature wells, ensuring optimal acid diversion and minimized formation damage across diverse stimulation scenarios.
What are Acid emulsifiers?
Acid emulsifiers are surfactant-based additives that create stable acid-in-oil emulsions for well stimulation, slowing acid reaction rates to enhance penetration and improve treatment uniformity in carbonate and sandstone formations while reducing corrosion risks.
What are the main types of Acid emulsifiers?
Primary types include cationic quaternary ammonium salts (like coco or tallow derivatives), nonionic ethoxylated alcohols, and amphoteric surfactants, with UNPChemicals' ACMET series focusing on dimethyl quat formulations for balanced emulsification and thermal stability in demanding downhole conditions.
Where are Acid emulsifiers commonly applied?
These additives are critical in matrix acidizing of high-permeability formations, fracture acidizing in carbonate reservoirs, and damage removal treatments where controlled acid spending and uniform zonal coverage are required, particularly in high-temperature or high-salinity environments.
How do you select the right Acid emulsifier?
Selection depends on acid type (HCl, organic acids, or mud acid), reservoir temperature, formation wettability, and salinity levels, with key considerations including emulsion stability under shear, compatibility with corrosion inhibitors, and clean break characteristics for post-treatment flowback.
Why choose quaternary ammonium-based Acid emulsifiers like ACMET?
Quaternary ammonium-based emulsifiers like ACMET offer superior emulsion stability in high-salinity brines and elevated temperatures, while their cationic nature improves adhesion to negatively charged rock surfaces for better acid diversion, outperforming conventional nonionic systems in complex formations.
