This course introduces the student to several stimulation techniques like fracturing, acidizing and non reactives treatment to remove/improve the formation damage in sandstone / carbonate formation reservoirs. The course begins by describing the technical reasons for selecting an imrovement method derived from damage analisys. Then, continues with the detailed explanation of each methods and shows several examples of each treatments.
Oil & Gas Production Training Program
Stimulation Method and Materials
Entry to mid-level Engineers, personnel involved in field operations like technical operator, QA/QC inspectors and other who in need of technical training to understand their role within the oil production enhancement process.
- Evaluate formation damage
- Identify type of damage with mineral composition analysis
- Evaluate effect of well intervention on formation damage
- Choose apropiated stimulation techniques to reduce-by pass damage
- Design basic fluid stimulation systems
Fracturing Fluid System
This course introduces the student to the fracturing fluid system. The course begins by describing the technical reasons for selecting a fracturing fluid system. Then, continues with the importance of water and how to ensure it is fit for purpose. Next, introduces the various base gels and describes how to properly mix them. Finally the course ends with a discussion of the crosslinking process.

- Accurately perform a standard water analysis
- Evaluate the results of a water analysis
- Identify fluid systems and additives given a job proposal and/or call sheet
- Operate laboratory equipment
- Evaluate results from laboratory testing
Fracturing Mechanics
Fracture mechanics explores the relationship between rock mechanics, fluid mechanics, and fracture mechanics. Its approach is unique in that the student learns the content through a series of questions. The course content is essentially built by the student as they answer the questions.
