Hydraulic Fracturing: Full Coverage

Register

Instructor: Ali Daneshy

Two separate application-oriented courses are offered during the week. The first course establishes the fundamental and essential technical and operational aspects of fracturing, while the second extends the discussion into horizontal well fracturing. Emphasis in both courses is on day-to-day application of hydraulic fracturing. While each is a separate and independent course on its own, more comprehensive understanding of fracturing is gained if they are taken back-to-back.

Fundamentals of Hydraulic Fracturing

What is a hydraulic fracture? Why and how do we fracture wells? What materials do we use? What constitutes a successful job?
This course has two main objectives; a sound fundamental understanding of the mechanics, materials, and techniques of hydraulic fracturing, and, how to apply them in day-to-day operations.

Advanced Horizontal Well Fracturing
This course offers a comprehensive review of the mechanics of fracture initiation and extension in horizontal wells, and full coverage of various available commercial completion systems and their application for different production objectives. Other topics presented include fracturing fluids and proppants, fracture design and various diagnostic tools.
