This paper explores matrix acidizing, a method to enhance well productivity by injecting acid into the formation to dissolve damage or create flow channels. Focusing on gas well acidizing, it introduces a groundbreaking three-stage approach with hydrochloric acid (HCl) and viscoelastic diverting acid (VDA). Unlike recent research, which often overlooked specific VDA stages and favored VES or surfactant gelled systems, this study innovatively integrates VDA throughout laboratory experimentation, simulation modeling, and operational execution. The article showcases the effectiveness of HCl and VDA in dissolving reservoir materials, preventing issues like emulsion formation and iron precipitation, reducing corrosion and H2S emissions, enhancing penetration depth, fluid flow channels, and stimulating all reservoir layers. Utilizing a numerical model, it recommends an optimal acidizing method with five main acid injection stages and five VDA injection stages. The results demonstrate a notable increase of 100% in gas production, an 84% rise in gas pressure, and a reduction of BS&W from 7 to 3%. Aimed at industry professionals, this paper serves as a guide for optimizing well productivity and gas recovery processes.
