    • 5 Days
    • classroom1Classroom

    This 5-day course discusses, at skilled level, the hydraulic fracturing process, detailing Design Methodology, Execution & Quality Control and Evaluation. Acid Fracturing is also discussed. Upon completion of the course, Participants will be able to integrate multi-disciplinary teams to select well candidates for fracturing, establish fracturing objectives and discuss with Service Companies the full Design-Execution-Evaluation process.

    The course includes numerous exercises to help the understanding of concepts and their practical application.

     

    Nodal Analysis software (Pipesim) and specialized software (FracCADE) are used during the course to illustrate examples and facilitate the understanding of concepts.
