Hydraulic Fracture Treatment Design and Quality Control Course
Introduction:
Course Objectives:
- Design hydraulic fracture treatments for typical field situations
- Apply the concepts of well stimulation by hydraulic fracturing to various types of reservoir conditions to optimize well productivity
- Recognize opportunities for substantial production improvement by application of effective hydraulic fracturing
- Gather pertinent well data and information to plan, design, implement and evaluate fracturing treatments for all types of reservoirs
- Realize the strengths and limitations of hydraulic fracture theory as it relates to field applications of fracturing
- Become a participant in each fracturing treatment rather than just a technical observer
