This course covers the technical fundamentals of hydraulic fracture design treatments in shale reservoirs. The primary focus is on actual field results, the practical data needed to plan a treatment, and the reasons treatment designs vary by company and by type of shale reservoir.
Topics include:
- Shale reservoir characteristics
- Well design and completion basics
- Five Fracture treatment objectives
- Hydraulic fracturing mechanics
- Pre-treatment calibration tests
- Fracturing fluid options and applications
At the end of this course, participants should have an understanding of:
- Fracturing in horizontal wells
- Completion options and applications
- Quality and safety control issues
- Actual production correlations to changes in fracturing methods
- Treatment monitoring from pressures and micro-seismic
- Cost-Benefits analysis
- Summary of environmental issues
