ABSTRACT

The present invention relates to a method to increase the volume of a
wellbore, said method comprising: providing a wellbore located within a rock
formation; providing a modified acid composition comprising at least two
components: a first component being an amino acid and a second component being
a mineral acid; wherein said first component and second component being
present a molar ratio ranging from 1:2 to 1:12.5; injecting said modified acid
composition into said wellbore at a pressure below fracking pressure; allowing
the modified acid composition to be in contact with the formation for a period
of time long enough to allow the modified acid to create a series of wormholes
and consequently increase the surface area fluidly connected to said wellbore
to enhance the absorption capacity of carbon dioxide injected into said
wellbore.
