Improve Acid Performance and Treatment Effectiveness
Biosurfactant microemulsion that simplifies acid systems and enhances stimulation performance
What Is AcidBoost®?
AcidBoost® is a biosurfactant-based microemulsion designed for acid remediation treatments. It replaces multi-additive systems by improving how acid interacts with carbonate scale in the near-wellbore—enabling more effective cleanup and more consistent results.
Primary Applications
Acid Remediation
Enable deeper acid penetration and improve acid interaction with the formation
Scale Squeeze Treatments
Improve treatment effectiveness while reducing additive complexity
Production Optimization
Restore flow by removing buildup and improving near-wellbore conditions
How AcidBoost® Works
Organic Barrier Removal
Breaks down hydrocarbons and deposits that block acid contact
Improved Acid–Scale Contact

Frequently Asked Questions
What is AcidBoost® used for?
AcidBoost® is a biosurfactant-based additive designed to enhance acid stimulation treatments by improving acid performance and reducing chemical complexity.
How does it improve acidizing?
AcidBoost enhances acid treatments by:
- Improving acid contact with carbonate scale in the near-wellbore
- Providing surfactant and solvent functionality in a single system
- Dispersing organics and preventing sludge formation
This allows acid to work more effectively with fewer additives.
Why is this important?
Traditional acidizing often requires:
- multiple additives
- complex formulations
- risk of incompatibility
AcidBoost simplifies the system while improving performance.
How is it different from solvent-based systems?
Solvents:
- add complexity
- introduce safety and environmental concerns
AcidBoost:
- reduces or replaces multiple additives
- delivers multifunctional performance in one chemistry
Where is it most valuable?
- Carbonate and sandstone acidizing
- Wells with formation damage
- Systems with sludge or compatibility risks
Where is it NOT the right fit?
Simple acid jobs with minimal formation challenges may not require enhanced chemistry.
