Porosity is a measure of the void spaces in a material and is a critical factor in determining the storage and movement of fluids in geological formations. It significantly influences the physical properties and behavior of materials, impacting fields like hydrogeology, petroleum engineering, and soil science.
Well stimulation is a process used in the oil and gas industry to enhance the productivity of a well by increasing the flow of hydrocarbons to the surface. This is achieved through various techniques that either create new channels for the hydrocarbons to flow or improve the permeability of the existing ones.
