Several special stimulation techniques have been proposed for limestone formations, with one example being a combination of acid and proppant, leaving the acid channels full of sand. This paper discusses and alternative completion technique involving only normal sand frac procedures, and is thus effective where acid is ineffectual or undesirable. As the procedure is primarily aimed at creating short, high conductivity fractures in so
