A method for the removal of well bore damage, the method including performing an acid cleaning of one or more of a coiled tubing and the well bore using a hydrochloric acid mixture of 7 to 15 wt % hydrochloric acid and displacing the hydrochloric acid mixture with a first fresh water stream. After acid cleaning, a composition comprising at least 10 wt % acetic acid into the wellbore is injected into the wellbore. After injecting acetic acid, gel jetting of the well is performed with a gel mixture, and the gel mixture is subsequently displaced with a second fresh water stream. After gel jetting, an organic solvent mixture is injected into the well bore and allowing the organic solvent mixture to soak for 2 to 6 hours. Finally, a thermochemical mixture is injected into the well bore, thereby increasing temperature and pressure and cleaning build up from the well bore.
