Course Objectives
This course presentation format consists of three segments. They are presented in logical order. The complete suite deals with the fundamental and advanced aspects of hydraulic fracturing as well as matrix and fracture acidizing. New and emerging technologies as well as Fracture Diagnostics are covered in the final portion.
Who Should Attend?
Engineers, geologists, technologists and operations personnel who want to learn or advance their knowledge of hydraulic fracturing and Acid well stimulation. The course covers all areas of formation damage and the theory of hydraulic fracturing and acidizing to increase production.
