Session 4: Acid Fracturing: An Efficient and Effective Alternative to Other Well Stimulation Methods

10 Dec 2025
Technical Sessions
Tight carbonate reservoirs require acid fracturing to boost production and achieve economical rates. These treatments can be performed in single-stage vertical wells or multi-stage horizontal wells. Key performance objectives for evaluating acid fractures include fracture conductivity, etched fracture half-length, and efficiency in executing multi-stage treatments.  This session will showcase case studies where new and innovative fluids, equipment, and modelling has been applied and how their performance compares with conventional methods.
