...). Applicable in openhole completions in limestone or dolomite formations, the technology does not require a drilling rig and has no fluid returns, resulting in very low environmental impact. Economically, the acid-tunneling compares favorably with alternative stimulation options in both cost and time savings...

The optimal completion technique for a candidate well is determined by the reservoir properties, geological setting, rock mechanics, development plan, and completion design. Guidelines are provided for future application of horizontal openhole completions on the North Slope of Alaska...
