Training Overview

Training Overview

Hydraulic fracturing has transformed the development of unconventional oil and gas resources, enabling the efficient recovery of hydrocarbons from tight formations. However, executing a successful fracturing operation demands a solid understanding of rock mechanics, reservoir characteristics, fluid dynamics, and operational best practices. The Field-Focused Hydraulic Fracturing: Design and Execution training course provides engineers and field professionals with the expertise needed to effectively plan, design, and carry out hydraulic fracturing treatments. Participants will explore the principles of fracture propagation, fluid and proppant selection, real-time monitoring techniques, and post-fracture evaluation. The course uses real-world examples and case studies from both conventional and unconventional reservoirs to connect theoretical knowledge with practical field experience.

What are the goals?

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the principles and objectives of hydraulic fracturing
  • Design effective fracture treatments for different reservoir types
  • Select appropriate fracturing fluids, proppants, and equipment
  • Monitor, evaluate, and optimize fracture jobs in real time
  • Apply best practices for safety, environmental protection, and efficiency

Who is this Training Course for?

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Reservoir Engineers
  • Completion and Stimulation Engineers
  • Field Engineers and Technicians
  • Drilling and Production Engineers
  • Wellsite Supervisors and Frac Coordinators
  • Technical Professionals involved in tight reservoir development

How will this Training Course be Presented?

This training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes an interactive mixture of lecture-led learning & group discussions.
