Well Treatment and Stimulation
Disciplines: Production and Operations
Course Description
This comprehensive course covers the full spectrum of well treatment and stimulation options for carbonate and sandstone reservoirs. It begins with a review of the various mechanisms that can damage a formation and ways to avoid them. Next, the discussion turns to acid systems for carbonate and sandstone formations, treatment design the selection of additives, and the use of coiled tubing in extended reach and multilateral wells. The week will end with an introduction to new technologies for carbonate acidizing. Case histories illustrate some of the treatment options.
Topics:
- What causes formation damage in carbonate reservoirs
- Acids and additives used in carbonate and sandstone formations
- Candidate selection, job design, and execution
- New technologies
