文档介绍:WELL STIMULATION TECHNIQUES
Opening up new channels in the rock for the oil
and gas to flow through is called stimulation.
Three stimulation treatments monly used:
explosives to break up the rock, injection of acid to
partially dissolve the rock, and hydraulic fracturing
to split the rock and prop it open with proppants.
