Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003086

The process of re-stimulating an existing well by performing a new hydraulic fracturing treatment. This technique aims to enhance or restore hydrocarbon production from wells where initial production has declined or was suboptimal. It involves re-perforating the wellbore or creating new fracture networks in different zones of the reservoir.
