This book emphasizes the quantitative aspects of well stimulation. Includes worked examples, exercises, and fundamental derivations throughout the narrative.

Part I studies the chemical, thermal, and mechanical properties of reservoir materials, as well as stimulation fluids.
Part II deals with formation damage which is oiten the origin of the need for well stimulation.
Part III covers perforating techniques.
Parts IV and V address hydraulic fracturing and matrix acidizing-two of the most useful stimulation techniques.
Part VI explores important sand control methods.
