A fracture acidizing simulator has been written which incorporates many of the recent advances in fracture geometry and temperature calculations and the acid spending process with the many complex variables which affect acid spending. All the various effects have been coupled to reduce errors and improve simulation. A procedure which should effectively correlate laboratory acid-etched conductivity tests with anticipated field results has also been introduced.
