he carbonate reservoir has tight lithology and is operated at high temperature in S block. In order to improve the oil recovery, it is necessary to carry on the acid fracturing treatment to the target reservoir. According to the characteristics of the target reservoir, the acid fluid for acid fracturing was optimized and evaluated. Through the porosity and permeability experiment, the porosity of S block was 0.1%~2.0%, and the permeability was below 0.01 mD, which belonged to ultra⁃low permeability reservoir. According to the uniaxial compression test, the compressive strength of the reservoir was high, ranging from 40 to 70 MPa. X⁃ray diffraction showed that dolomite and calcite were the main minerals in the reservoir ( 80%~90% in total), with a small amount of quartz and clay (mass fraction was about 10%). The main acid was 20% hydrochloric acid, the thickener was 0.3% xanthan gum, and the dissolution rate of rock powder was about 90% when hydrochloric acid acted alone, and the main acid solution was hydrochloric acid. Taking into account that the reservoir lithology of carbonate rock in S block was dense and the formation temperature was 100~140 ℃, the viscosity of modified xanthan gum was about 10 mPa·s at 140 ℃. The modified xanthan gum was selected as high temperature resistant thickener.
