This study aims to review an‎d analyze the scientific literature related to hydraulic fracturing an‎d acidizing techniques in hydrocarbon reservoirs. The research focuses on addressing the main challenges associated with hydrocarbon extraction from unconventional reservoirs an‎d low-permeability formations, where low natural permeability an‎d near wellbore damage pose significant obstacles to economic production. The methodology was based on a comprehensive analysis of the latest research an‎d developments in this field, with emphasis on fundamental mechanisms, modeling, design, an‎d practical applications. The petrophysical an‎d mechanical properties of rocks an‎d their impact on selec‎ting the appropriate technique were analyzed, along with the interactions between reservoir characteristics an‎d stimulation design. The results revealed fundamental differences between the two techniques in terms of mechanisms, applications, an‎d efficiency. Hydraulic fracturing relies on mechanical mechanisms to create fracture networks, while acidizing depends on chemical reactions to enhance conductivity. The study also demonstrated the potential for higher efficiency through the integration of both techniques in what is known as hybrid treatments. The results also highlighted the importance of geological factors an‎d operational conditions in determining the success of stimulation operations, as well as the environmental challenges associated with these techniques an‎d ways to address them. The study also showed recent trends in developing environmentally friendly stimulation fluids, smart monitoring technologies, an‎d improved modeling an‎d simulation processes.
