Well stimulation definition

Well stimulation or "stimulation of a well" means the process of enhancing well productivity, including hydraulic fracturing operations.
Well stimulation means several processes used to clean the well bore, enlarge channels and increase pore space in the interval to be injected thus making it possible for wastewater to move more readily into the formation and includes surging, jetting, blasting, acidizing, or hydraulic fracturing.
Well stimulation means any of several operations or processes to initiate or increase the production of oil or gas from a well, including acidizing, hydraulic fracturing, or other methods.

Examples of Well stimulation in a sentence

  • Well stimulation operations within the Trona Interval shall include a post stimulation survey that identifies the extent of induced fractures.

  • Well stimulation treatments include, but are not limited to, hydraulic fracturing and acid well stimulation treatments.

  • Well stimulation treatment fluids include, but are not limited to, hydraulic fracturing fluids and acid stimulation treatment fluids.

  • Well stimulation was also required, and improvements in hydraulic fracturing techniques, particularly multistage hydraulic fracturing and the ability to better control the fractures, contributed to making shale gas production a profitable venture.

  • Well stimulation treatments include, but are not limited to, hydraulic fracturing treatments and acid well stimulation treatments.
