An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Stimulation Technologies
A Comprehensive Approach to Formation Damage Diagnosis and
Corresponding Stimulation Type and Fluid Selection
Course Overview
This 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 GLOMACS training course will highlight:
- Formation Damage (Definition, mechanism, counter measures, etc.)
- Acidizing (Matrix Acidizing, Acid fracturing, etc.)
- Hydraulic Fracturing Overview
- HSE and Stimulation
Training Objectives
By the end of this Stimulation Technologies 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
