SPEI: Shale Hydraulic Fracturing-Design and Analysis
REGISTER NOW: http://www.spe.org/training/courses/HFF.php
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
Learning Level: Intermediate
Course Length: 1 Day
Why You Should Attend: The size, cost, and critical contributions of fracture treatments in the development of unconventional reservoirs is driving an increased need to fully understand and evaluate fracture treatments and their expected and actual impact under different reservoir conditions. Such information is not only needed to refine designs and cost-benefit analyses, but also to help educate regulators, surface owners, managers, and investors about the process and the actual level of environmental risk involved.
Who Should Attend: This course is intended for participants who evaluate or develop unconventional reservoirs, especially those who have little experience with or limited exposure to fracture treatments in unconventional reservoirs. Participants involved in the engineering, geo-science, regulatory, forecasting, land, field operations and service segments, will benefit from this course.
CEUs: 0.8 CEUs (Continuing Education Units) will be awarded for this 1-day course
