5- Day Open Hydraulic Fracturing Course - Led by Mr. Carl Montgomery

Open Hydraulic Fracturing Course $4500/USD Led by Mr. Carl Montgomery This 5-day course emphasizes the multi-disciplinary nature of hydraulic fracturing, covering the "Reservoir Engineering" aspects, integrated with the "Fracture Mechanics" aspects, and coupled with "Operational" considerations. This integration is absolutely necessary in order to present how to recognize opportunities for fracturing from hard rock tight gas, to offshore "frac-pack" completions, to multi-fractured horizontal shale wells. Also covered is how to estimate required data for planning and preparing preliminary job designs, how to design, perform, and analyze pre-frac tests, and finally how to arrive at an "optimum" final design. Along with an Introduction to Fracturing, the course covers Reservoir Response, Rock Stresses, Fracture Geometry, Fracture Pressure Analysis, Fracture Fluid & Proppant Selection, Multi - Fractured Horizontal Wells, and Field Application & Quality Control. A working Hydraulic Fracturing laboratory tour is included in this course. A complete set of course materials and lunch is included in this course. *Participants will need to bring a laptop with Microsoft Excel to each day of this course* Cancellation/Transfer Policy: A minimum of 10 business days’ notice is required to cancel the enrollment, otherwise the tuition fee is forfeited or remains due if not already paid.
