Zusammenfassung:Use of methyl glycine diacetic acid (MGDA) as additive in processes for recovering crude oil and/or gas from subterranean formations, wherein the MGDA is a mixture of L- and D-enantiomers of MGDA or salts thereof, said mixture containing an excess of the respective L-isomer, and the enantiomeric excess (ee) of the L-isomer is in the range of from 10% to 75% Preferably, the process is a processes of acidizing subterranean formations.
