Course Description
Understanding the concepts and getting practical knowledge and learn how to get the optimum design of hydraulic fracture treatment for various reservoir types in order to improve well productivity. Also, the course will cover the execution and post treatment evaluation for real case histories.
Course Objectives
To provide attendees with a working knowledge of fracturing design and fracturing procedures. Learning the practical application of different types of fracturing jobs and use of additives to produce specific fracturing fluid properties. Learning how to evaluate the success or failure of a fracturing job.
Who Should Attend
This short course is intended for Drilling / Completion, Reservoir, Production Engineers, field supervisors and engineering technicians who are involved in planning, designing and execution of hydraulic fracturing treatment.
