Introduction of a workflow for tomographic analysis of formation stimulation using novel nano-based encapsulated acid systems

During the production time, it is crucial to manage the reservoir efficient productivity and keep it at a profitable level. Matrix acidizing in carbonate reservoirs is a common course of action to increase the efficiency of production. The present project is based on an integrated multi-disciplinary...
