Production, completion, reservoir, and drilling engineers; field supervisors; production foremen; engineering technicians; and geologists. This course is also designed for others involved in the planning and evaluation of well stimulation treatments. Information presented and examples used are applicable to vertical, horizontal and multilateral wells, to tight gas / unconventional reservoirs, as well as oil reservoirs



YOU WILL LEARN

To select stimulation techniques best suited for various formation types

Basic non-acid and acidizing concepts

Basic hydraulic fracturing concepts



ABOUT THE COURSE

Too often in today’s dynamic oil and gas industry, not enough attention is paid to the details of well stimulation treatments. This can result in poor and / or less than optimum results. Those involved in the planning, execution, and evaluation of stimulation treatments need to have the background and training in the basics so better decisions can be made resulting in more gas down the line or oil in the tank! This practical course is designed for those involved in all aspects of well stimulation. To be better able to make decisions it is important to have a basic understanding of the types of formations and basic reservoir properties with which we deal. For this reason, time is spent in the early portion of the course ‘setting the geological and reservoir property stage’ for vertical, horizontal and multilateral wells prior to developing the basic formation damage, acidizing, and hydraulic fracturing concepts. The course includes acidizing and fracturing quality control, conducting the treatment, monitoring pressures, and other critical parameters, during and after the treatment. An important part of the course is class teamwork whereby the attendees divide into teams to evaluate and design stimulation treatments. These exercises bring out many important parameters discussed during the course.

This subject is covered in the PetroSkills Production Operations 1 course (Foundation Level) as well as in the Formation Damage: Causes, Prevention and Remediation (Intermediate Level) course. However, this course is more concentrated, detailed and applied in the subject matter than either of the other courses
