OIL and GAS - FORMATION DAMAGE, ACIDIZING AND HYDRAULIC FRACTURING TECHNOLOGY

  

About this Course

INTRODUCTION :

The primary topics that will be covered include skin effects and formation damage, the course starts with detailed discussions of the various types of formation damage, causes and effect Flow Rate. The various stimulation and damage removal methods are then introduced with detailed study of the theory, design and analysis of sandstone and carbonate matrix acidizing. Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to design a complete stimulation job starting from the selection of the suitable fluids and ending with the post-treatment performance evaluation. 

The course provides the student with the knowledge and tools needed to design and analyze hydraulic and acid fracturing jobs. The key to acidizing success is in the understanding of how it works, the optimum conditions for its application, and proper evaluation of well response after the acidizing treatment. 

This course will teach many of the practical aspects of acidizing applications and help provide a better understanding of acidizing as a tool for enhancing well performance. Today, Hydraulic Fracturing used in 35 to 40% of wells and in USA what the procedure is more widespread, it has increased oil reserves by 25 to 30%. Application of the technology is expanding. 

This course presents description of theory, techniques, equipment, and treatment planning and design.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

  • Understand basic reservoir properties that influence reservoir performance, as Well as the potential for formation damage and its removal
  • Demonstrate an understanding of clay mineralogy, how formation clays can cause damage, and current methods to prevent this type of damage from occurring
  • Determine why scale, paraffin, and asphaltene can cause significant reduction in production and how you can control this type of damage
  • Prevent damage during drilling, completion, and production phases - this includes everything from underbalanced drilling to the use of new drill-in and completion fluids, to general production practices
  • Determine what is important in the evaluation of damage - is your damage real or is it related to restrictions in the completion system? Without a proper understanding of poor well performance, stimulation approaches may be unsuccessful
  • Remove damage. The subject goes beyond just acidizing, which is thoroughly covered. It also includes non-acid approaches such as wellbore washes, perforating techniques, hydraulic fracturing application, etc.
  • Causes of formation damage and how to prevent and remove it during production operations
  • How to select appropriate candidates for well stimulation and design and Evaluation of hydraulic and acid fracture jobs.
  • Concepts involved in a design of all essential elements of well Stimulation system (Skin calculation Acidizing , and hydraulic fracturing )
  • Optimization of Hydraulic Fracture Dimensions

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This 5-day course is designed for engineers, geologists, petroleum technologists and operations personnel and presents the principles and practices of formation damage, acidizing and hydraulic fracturing. The course includes a review of theoretical components of formation damage, acidizing and fracturing, but places a significant emphasis on candidate selection and design fundamentals and case field studies and exercises
