Stimulation of
Horizontal Wells & Unconventional Reservoirs

Home	Courses

The course is directed at engineering and geosciences professionals involved in hydraulic fracture stimulation of horizontal oil and gas wells and unconventional reservoir stimulation. The goal of the course is to provide methods to determine stimulated reservoir volume, optimum transverse fracture spacing, economic lateral length, and well spacing. The impact of various economic drivers, such as EUR, NPV, and ROR, or optimum design will be discussed.

• The course covers the following units:
  Overview of Unconventional Reservoir Stimulation
• Mechanical Properties of Unconventional Reservoirs
• Unconventional Fracture Geometry Modeling
• Application of Diagnostics in Unconventional Reservoirs
• Horizontal Well Stimulation Design
• Fracture Spacing
• Economic Optimization of Unconventional Reservoir Stimulation
• Reserves Forecasting

The course has been extended to three days, and will include practical examples and exercises.
