This 5-day course discusses, at skilled level, the hydraulic fracturing process, detailing Design Methodology, Execution & Quality Control and Evaluation. Acid Fracturing is also discussed; upon completion of the course, Participants will be able to integrate multi-disciplinary teams to select well candidates for fracturing, establish fracturing objectives and discuss with Service Companies the full Design-Execution-Evaluation process.
The course includes numerous exercises to help the understanding of concepts and their practical application.
Course Dates - September 7 - 11, 2026
