Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of drilling and completion including formation damage, stimulation, sand control and water control. It covers the formation damage, field diagnosis and measurement of formation damage; the formation damage and pseudodamage from well performance; the formation damage control and remediation as well as formation damage mitigation; the reservoir stimulation in petroleum production; and the formation characterization of well and reservoir testing. During this interactive course, participants will learn the formation characterization of rock mechanics and well logs; the basics and mechanics of hydraulic fracturing; the fracturing fluid chemistry and proppants; the fracturing materials performance, fracture evaluation using pressure diagnostics and fracture treatment design; the fracturing operations, posttreatment evaluation and fractured well performance; the matrix treatments, fundamentals of acid stimulation and carbonate acidizing design; the matrix stimulation treatment evaluation; the causes and effects of sand production; and the sand control in open-hole completions, chemical consolidation methods and water control. link to course overview PDF
