Hydraulic Fracturing Design and Execution for Field Professionals

Introduction

The course takes a practical approach to the applications of hydraulic fracturing. Fracturing technology is explained to show its benefits and limitations in all types of sandstone and carbonate reservoirs. Fracture modeling is used as a tool to demonstrate how modeling software can be used effectively in practical applications. All aspects of the planning, designing, and implementation of fracturing treatments are covered. In addition to the technical presentation, the course contains many practical exercises and class problems based on case histories. You will take home a fresh approach to hydraulic fracturing, eager to select viable candidates for more effective fracturing applications

Objectives

    • Design hydraulic fracture treatments for typical field situations
    • Apply the concepts of well stimulation by hydraulic fracturing to various types of reservoir conditions to optimize well productivity
    • Recognize opportunities for substantial production improvement by application of effective hydraulic fracturing
    • Gather pertinent well data and information to plan, design, implement and evaluate fracturing treatments for all types of reservoirs
    • Realize the strengths and limitations of hydraulic fracture theory as it relates to field applications of fracturing
    • Become a participant in each fracturing treatment rather than just a technical observer

Training Methodology

The training methodology is interactive with group exercises and is suitable for all employees involved in functions management. The pace and level of the training workshop is customized to the understanding of the delegates. Ongoing back-up and support is available after the training on request to the supplier, and the training course is also available for in-house presentation as well as for “Competency Transfer”.
