Course Description
This course covers the principles of hydraulic fracturing analysis and design. Through lecture combined with practical exercises and fracture modeling, this course presents the fundamental principles of hydraulic fracturing together with fracture job execution and fracture diagnostics and job monitoring. Using basic theory of fracture geometry and propagation, and elements of fracture design, the participants will understand hydraulic fracturing design, selection of proppant and fracture fluid, and the decisions made to create a fracture plan and fracture optimization.
Topics include:
- Reservoir and fluids
- Mechanical rock and fluid loss properties
- Completions
- Fracturing fluids and materials
- Fracture geometry
- Fracture conductivity
- Fracture diagnostics and job monitoring
- Hydraulic fracturing modeling
