The complete paper describes the analysis of actual performance data for acid fracturing in a tight carbonate formation and the ineffectiveness of the process as measured by the performance responses of the producing wells. An included case study relates to a tight formation that is considered a reservoir rather than a source rock. The formation permeability is in the range of 0.1–5 md. Development has been through numerous horizontal wells with limited multistage acid stimulation.
