Acid stimulation involves treating a reservoir formation with a fluid containing reactive acid. In both sandstone and carbonate reservoirs, matrix acidizing is applied to increase formation permeability and enhance well productivity.
This course presents the key aspects of this important process in petroleum engineering. It is designed to guide participants through a logical, step-by-step approach to selecting candidate wells for acidizing, designing appropriate treatments, and executing suitable chemical programs for oil and gas wells. The content is practical in focus and avoids overly complex acid reaction chemistry, emphasizing field application and operational decision-making.
Effective acidizing requires careful consideration of acid types, treatment volumes, and operational procedures to ensure optimal removal of formation damage around the wellbore. The course highlights practical limits and best practices to maximize treatment efficiency and productivity improvement.

Jerry Rusnak has more than 40 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, spanning service, supply, operations, and academia. He began his career as a wireline field engineer before joining an independent exploration and production company as a field engineer, where he managed wellsite drilling, completion, and workover operations. He subsequently advanced to the role of Drilling and Completion Manager, overseeing multiple simultaneous drilling and completion projects across U.S. onshore operations. By the end of his 15-year tenure, he was serving as the company’s Exploration and Production Manager. During this period, the company experienced significant growth, and its E&P division was eventually sold to a major independent operator. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Ocean Engineering from Florida Atlantic University. He is an active member and past Section President of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and holds, or is eligible to hold, the major certifications required for wellsite operations both onshore and offshore.
