Introduction in Stimulation

Treatment by Environment

Hydraulic fracturing and matrix stimulation treatments to restore or enhance well productivity are performed in all types of formations and reservoir environments. You can maximize production by creating highly conductive reservoir flow paths, but selecting the appropriate treatment for each environment is critical to well economics.

Tight Gas

Effective development of low-permeability tight gas reservoir resources requires operational efficiency to improve performance.

High-Permeability

Matrix acidization treatments are used to mitigate the effects of formation damage, the biggest hindrance to productivity in highly permeable reservoirs.

Unconventional Gas

Better reservoir knowledge and increasingly sensitive technologies are making production of unconventional gas economically viable and more efficient. This efficiency is bringing tight gas, coalbed methane, and gas hydrates into the reach of more companies around the world.
