Effective production from tight gas formations is associated with overcoming high capillary pressure existing in such reservoirs. The latter causes a leak-off of completion fluids into a formation and results in formation damage due to pore blockage and in situ formation of emulsions. Chemical treatment with microemulsions significantly remediates formation damage, increases fluid flowback, and enhances formation permeability to gas, which has been demonstrated both in laboratory and field studies.
