Hydraulic Fracturing Treatment, Design and Evaluation
Course Description
As part of stimulation techniques, hydraulic fracturing is a key component for enhancing hydrocarbon production. The latest evolution of hydraulic fracturing includes the success of unconventional shale gas development in the USA. This course will provide a foundation on the concept of hydraulic fracturing, why it is used, and how it works. The course will cover, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Introduction
- Fracture geometry optimization
- Fracture design models: 2D and 3D solutions
- Selection of fracturing fluid and additives
- Selection of proppant
- Design methodology
- Field execution
Learning Level
Introductory to Intermediate
