Wormhole

Wormhole refer to the conductive channel created in the formation as a result of acidization. As the acid forces its way into the formation, it tends to dissolve part of the matrix in the pore spaces, creating permanent void channel that can connect to the reservoir fluid beyond the near wellbore region. The reservoir fluid then is able to flow easily into the wellbore through these conduits.
