Well Stimulation in Carbonate Reservoirs: The Needs and Superiority of Hydraulic Fracturing

Abstract

Hydraulic fracturing is probably the most widely used stimulation technique in the world today. The focus of this article is on choosing a proper method of hydraulic fracturing. In carbonates, a choice exists between acid and propped fracturing treatments. The main reasons showing why propped hydraulic fracturing is the choice in carbonate reservoirs will be discussed in detail in this article.
