Why Choose this Training Course?

This PetroKnowledge Stimulation Technologies training course covers the most aspects of Stimulation Technologies whose main objective is to repair formation harm so as to revive / increase production.

This interactive training course starts by presenting the fundamental ideas for stimulation job style, execution and follow up.

Discussion is dole out on formation harm and its impact on well performance and designing of acid stimulation treatments. Focus is given to the most causes of formation harm (damage throughout drilling, cementing, perforating, producing and working over wells) and how these may be identified. 

This PetroKnowledge training course will highlight:

  • Formation Damage (Definition, mechanism, counter measures, etc.)
  • Acidizing (Matrix Acidizing, Acid fracturing, etc.)
  • Hydraulic Fracturing Overview
  • HSE and Stimulation

What are the Goals?

By the end of this PetroKnowledge training course, participants will feel confident in their understanding of:

  • Formation damage mechanisms and their identification
  • Brainstorming on skin damage
  • Introduction to stimulation operations
  • Acids reactions and their selection for carbonates and sandstones
  • Acids and additives used in matrix stimulation
  • Candidate well selection
  • Acid treatment design
  • Acid placement and diverting technologies
  • Acid displacement and flow back
  • Laboratory tests
  • Acid fracturing design basics
