WELL STIMULATION DESIGN AND DEPLOYMENT

COURSE OVERVIEW & LEARNING OUTCOMES

The well stimulation course seeks to empower participants with the basic principles in well stimulation as well as the design, planning, monitoring and evaluation of stimulation treatments.  This knowledge ensures better decisions are made on stimulation jobs towards improving production of hydrocarbon.  This course takes participants through basic concepts and then hones in on formation damage, acidizing and fracturing concepts including treatment, pressure monitoring and other post treatment evaluations.  We will spend most afternoons on hands- on practical examples.  

  • Able to design and select appropriate stimulation techniques for type of formations

  • Able to plan, monitor and evaluate and deliver stimulation jobs in a safe and cost-effective way.

  • Able to have meaningful discussion with service contractors about stimulation jobs. 

TARGET PARTICIPANTS

  • Drilling and Completion Engineers

  • Facility Engineer

  • Reservoir Engineers
