While there is increased scrutiny from regulatory and community stakeholders on the chemicals used in operations, complex and technically challenging reservoirs must be developed to replace reserves. Matrix stimulation remains a critical technology for delivering barrels at minimum cost.

The technical contributions highlighted this year focus on matrix stimulation of carbonate and unconventional reservoirs. -
Matrix stimulation encompasses pumping processes used to improve the connection between the wellbore and the reservoir. They are effective in a wide range of lithologies and have been successful in most types of completions: cased and openhole, horizontal and vertical, simple and complex, injectors
