Previous results of stimulation treatments in the deep Ellenburger gas fields of W. Texas have provided less increase than predicted by the computer when designing these treatments. Major contributing factors are (1) inability to put an accurate relative permeability of the fractured; vugular formation to the stimulation fluid, (2) inability to control leakoff of treating fluids in this type rock, and (3) inadequate penetration of live acid into the formation. It can be shown on the computer that the effect of a fractured carbonate rock vs. a nonfractured one can account for the difference between actual and previously calculated treatment results. A case history is given in which a new design technique is used in combination with effective leakoff control mechanisms to provide (1) better well productivity than previously experienced and (2) treatment results that agree with calculated predictions.
