well stimulation

Well stimulation is a technique used in the oil and gas industry to enhance the flow of resources from a well. It involves methods such as injecting fluids, gases, or chemicals into the well to increase pressure and improve the extraction of hydrocarbons. The goal is to remove blockages, expand the pathways through the rock, or create new fractures, making it easier for oil and gas to flow to the surface. Stimulation can improve production rates and is often employed on older wells to maximize their output and extend their productive life.
