Hydraulic fracturing and acid stimulation are two of the most popular techniques used in the oil and gas industry to increase hydrocarbon recovery from reservoirs. Both methods involve injecting fluids into the wellbore to improve the flow of oil and gas.
🔷Hydraulic Fracturing
Hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as "fracking," is a technique that involves injecting high-pressure fluid, usually water and sand, into the wellbore to create fractures in the rock formation. The fractures increase the permeability of the reservoir, allowing oil and gas to flow freely to the surface. Hydraulic fracturing is suitable for tight and low-permeability formations that require high- pressure stimulation to release hydrocarbons.
🔷Acid Stimulation
Acid stimulation, also known as acidizing, is a technique that involves injecting acid, usually hydrochloric or hydrofluoric acid, into the formation to dissolve and remove the rock's formation. Acidizing is suitable for carbonate…
