DE0835 : Well Stimulation Techniques & Treatments

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.

Reservoir stimulation and artificial lift are the two main activities of the production engineer in the petroleum and related industries. The main purpose of stimulation is to enhance the property value by the faster delivery of the petroleum fluid and/or to increase ultimate economic recovery. Matrix stimulation and hydraulic fracturing are intended to remedy, or even improve, the natural connection of the wellbore with the reservoir, which could delay the need for artificial lift. Many wells that would otherwise be classified as dry holes have been made into profitable producers by fracture, acid or explosive stimulation treatments. This training course discusses the various well stimulation treatments that are frequently used to stimulate old or poorly producing wells. It will cover the stimulation techniques as tools to help manage and optimize reservoir development.  This comprehensive course is essential for petroleum industry professionals involved in the important activities of reservoir evaluation, development and management, who require invaluable skills in the application of the techniques described for the successful exploitation of oil and gas reservoirs.
