Brief Summary Reservoir

Stimulation
Acidising, usual HCL, to improve
permeability around the well by reaction
Hydraulic fracturing uses fracturing liquid
with added proppant are injected at high
pressure to create fractures that can be few
hundred feet or more
Explosive fracturing uses explosives to
create fractures and the crushed crocks or
rubble serve as proppant.
Damage removal ( well workover)
