Stimulation Technologies (PRE15)

  • 13-17 September 20275 daysVienna, AustriaCourse Fee: 4150 EUR + VAT

Description

This course covers the main aspects of well stimulation, whose primary objective is to repair formation damage in order to restore and/or increase production.
The course begins by presenting the basic concepts of stimulation job design, execution, and post-job evaluation. It discusses formation damage, its effects on well performance, and the planning of acid stimulation treatments. Particular focus is given to the main causes of formation damage (including damage occurring during drilling, cementing, perforating, production, and well workover operations) and how these may be identified.
The course highlights the importance of Well Integrity and Coiled Tubing (CT) in stimulation operations.
