Question

Case:  A porous but low permeability, old reservoir was evaluated by a group of petroleum engineers in Marmul. From subsurface rock-sample taken to the laboratory, they verified the presence of remaining heavy oil but there was also a skin damage in the formation as well as near the corroded wellbore liner.

Surprisingly, during a second sampling in the deep part of the reservoir, they also found a significant amount of methane that was trapped in the same formation. The supervisor wanted to try a well-stimulation method on this old reservoir to improve the flow of reservoir fluids, including the hydrocarbons that remained trapped in the rock formation.  What well stimulation method would you suggest? Why?
