Abstract
Summary: This paper presents conceptual and mathematical descriptions of the damage along and normal to a horizontal well. Expressions for the skin effect that take permeability anisotropy into account are developed. Stimulation methodology, respecting the shape of damage, is presented. Treatment effectiveness, partial stimulation, and corresponding volume and time requirements are quantified.Keywords
