Abstract
Multilateral wells pose a unique challenge to operators when planning for any intervention. Correctly accessing and<br>uniformly acidizing all laterals continues to be chall enging. While lack of reli able downhole data and knowl edge<br>about naturally fractured zones or po or correlation between porosity and permeability in carbonates limit the<br>effectiveness of a stimulation treatment; sometimes the inability to access all laterals even prevents the lateral from<br>being acidized at all. These limitations in acidizing, therefore, provide lower than expected gains.
