Drilling || Hydraulic Fracturing Applications
Here you can learn about the Hydraulic Fracturing Applications
Course Description
This course offers a hands-on approach to hydraulic fracturing applications. It covers the benefits and limitations of fracturing technology in both sandstone and carbonate reservoirs. Fracture modeling is introduced as a tool to demonstrate the effective use of modeling software in real-world applications. The course comprehensively covers the planning, design, and implementation of fracturing treatments. In addition to technical presentations, it includes practical exercises and case study-based problems. By the end of the course, participants will have a refreshed perspective on hydraulic fracturing and be prepared to identify the most promising candidates for more efficient fracturing applications.
Audience
This course is designed for production, reservoir, and drilling engineers, as well as anyone seeking a deeper understanding of fracturing applications.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of reservoir engineering and production operations is recommended.
