This 5-day course emphasizes the multi-disciplinary nature of hydraulic fracturing, covering the "Reservoir Engineering" aspects, integrated with the "Fracture Mechanics" aspects, and coupled with "Operational" considerations. This integration is absolutely necessary in order to present how to recognize opportunities for fracturing from hard rock tight gas, to offshore "frac-pack" completions, to multi-fractured horizontal shale wells....

Day 1: The first day offers a concise yet comprehensive overview of matrix acidizing in carbonate formations. The session begins with a discussion of the potential benefits of acid stimulation, followed by a review of the fundamentals of acidizing in both sandstone and carbonate reservoirs.
Key concepts specific to carbonate acidizing—including the wormholing phenomenon—are explored in detail. Participants will also examine current modeling...
