An ST2-3X28 well was subjected to a plugging removal test using the plugging removal agent of example 2. When the well is filled with crosslinked polyacrylamide, the pressure rises to cause blockage, and considering that the well is possibly blocked by polymers and inorganic matters, the method is designed to firstly fill in 5 parts of 12% hydrochloric acid, 20 parts of earthic acid, 10 parts of active water and 20 parts of polymer blocking remover, and then replace the blocking remover into an oil layer.

And then the well is opened normally after 48 hours of well closing reaction, the figure before blocking removal is shown in figure 1, and the figure 2 after blocking removal is shown.
Experimental example 2
