FRACTURE STIMULATION FOR TIGHT GAS RESERVOIR

This project was a study on tight gas reservoir. Tight gas reservoirs have been known to be difficult to produce due to its low permeability. And several studies had been made on fracture stimulation so that this tight gas reservoir productivity can be increased. Because of that, this project wil...
