Well Stimulation Techniques and Treatments Course
Introduction:
Reservoir stimulation deals with well productivity. As a result, a successful stimulation first requires accurate identification of parameters controlling well productivity and the determination of whether or not stimulation can improve production. This is, therefore, the very first step of the stimulation job design. Well stimulation treatments, which are designed to restore or enhance well productivity, are of two basic types. Matrix treatments are performed at pressures that are below the formation fracture pressure; they are primarily designed to remove near-wellbore damage. Fracture treatment, on the other hand, is performed at pressures above the formation fracture pressure; they are designed to open up highly conductive flow paths between the reservoir and the wellbore, thereby bypassing near-wellbore damage and changing the flow patterns around the well.
Course Objectives:
By the end of this training course, participants will learn to:
- Understand the types of formations and basic reservoir properties which we deal as well as developing the basic formation damage, acidifying, and hydraulic fracturing concepts
- Acidifying and fracturing quality control, conducting the treatment, monitoring pressures, and other critical parameters, during and after the treatment
- Learn the concepts of well stimulation and its importance in increasing productivity of wells beside it discusses acidizing and fracturing quality control, conducting the treatment, monitoring pressures, and other critical parameters, during and after the treatment
