A method for the fracking or stimulation of a hydrocarbon-bearing formation, said method comprising the steps of: providing a wellbore in need of stimulation; inserting a plug in the wellbore at a predetermined location; inserting a perforating tool and a spearhead or breakdown acid into the wellbore; positioning the tool at said predetermined location; perforating the wellbore with the tool thereby creating a perforated area; allowing the spearhead acid to come into contact with the perforated area for a predetermined period of time sufficient to prepare the formation for fracking or stimulation; removing the tool from the wellbore; and initiating the fracking of the perforated area using a fracking fluid. Also disclosed is a corrosion inhibiting composition for use with the acid composition.

A method of increasing the density of a saturated or near saturated salt (initial) brine, such as a monovalent or divalent salt solution, consists of first lowering the true crystallization temperature (TCT) of the saturated or near saturated salt brine to the eutectic point using a glycol and then adding dry salt to the brine of lower TCT to provide a brine of increased density. The TCT may be lowered by the addition of glycol to the saturated or near saturated salt brine. The dry salt is the same salt as the salt of the saturated or near saturated salt brine. The amount of dry salt added to the brine of lower TCT is an amount sufficient to render a saturated or near saturated brine. The density of the resulting brine is higher than the density of the saturated or near saturated salt (initial) brine.
