Stimulation of sandstone formations is a challenging task, which involves several chemicals and physical interactions of the acid with the formation. As more technologies to enhance oil production recovery are being developed, wellstimulation has been introduced and it acts as one of the important roles to fulfil the demand of the world for energy. Well stimulation is a well interventionperformed on an oil or gas well to increase production by improving the flow of hydrocarbons from the drainage area into thewellbore. Well stimulation generally uses fluids which create or enlarge the flow channels of formation so that it can overcome low permeability of formation.
