This course provides a basic understanding of the types of formations and basic reservoir properties with which we deal as well as developing the basic formation damage, acidifying, and hydraulic fracturing concepts. The course includes acidifying and fracturing quality control, conducting the treatment, monitoring pressures, and other critical parameters, during and after the treatment. This course is designed to cover all aspects of well stimulation. The course includes the basic concepts of well stimulation and its importance in increasing productivity of wells beside it discusses acidizing and fracturing quality control, conducting the treatment, monitoring pressures, and other critical parameters, during and after the treatment.

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

• How to select stimulation techniques best suited for various formation types and situations
• Apply basic non-acid and acidifying concepts
• Apply basic hydraulic fracturing concepts

Petroleum Engineers, Reservoir Engineers, Production Engineers, Well Service Engineers, Operators, Senior Operators, Junior Engineers, Drilling Engineers, Drilling Supervisors, Geologists, Technologists, foremen, technicians, field supervisors and operations personnel, anyone involved in the planning, execution and evaluation of well stimulation treatments in conventional as well as unconventional plays, including completion, production, workover, reservoir and drilling personnel.
