Course Description

INTRODUCTION

This GLOMACS Stimulation Technologies coaching course covers the most aspects of Stimulation Technologies whose main objective is to repair formation harm so as to revive / increase production.

This interactive coaching course starts by presenting the fundamental ideas for stimulation job style, execution and follow up.

Discussion is dole out on formation harm and its impact on well performance and designing of acid stimulation treatments. Focus is given to the most causes of formation harm (damage throughout drilling, cementing, perforating, producing and working over wells) and how these may be identified. 

This GLOMACS training course will highlight:

  • Formation Damage (Definition, mechanism, counter measures, etc.)
  • Acidizing (Matrix Acidizing, Acid fracturing, etc.)
  • Hydraulic Fracturing Overview
  • HSE and Stimulation

Objectives

By the end of this GLOMACS training course, participants will feel confident in their understanding of:

  • Formation damage mechanisms and their identification
  • Brainstorming on skin damage
  • Introduction to stimulation operations
  • Acids reactions and their selection for carbonates and sandstones
  • Acids and additives used in matrix stimulation
  • Candidate well selection
  • Acid treatment design
  • Acid placement and diverting technologies
  • Acid displacement and flow back
  • Laboratory tests
  • Acid fracturing design basics
  • HSE and acidizing operations
  • Safety & quality assurance

Training Methodology

This GLOMACS training course will be presented using properly designed slides, some with animation and several videos on relevant issues. A printed manual containing all the slides and/or electronic from in PDF will be delivered to each attendant. Teaching methods include also calculations on related issues. Several examples of actual Stimulation Programs will be presented.

Organisational Impact

By attending this GLOMACS training course, the organization will develop staff that can maximize production and recovery, in a safe, sustainable and cost-effective manner. The organization will be benefit from:

  • Formation damage diagnosis and way to eliminate
  • Identifying main causes of formation damage during well completion / production phases
  • Selection of stimulation technique for various formations type
  • Acid stimulation design, recipe and execution

Personal Impact

  • Identify the formation damage reasons and causes
  • Know the best practices during drilling / production phase to eliminate formation damage
  • Learn how to select stimulation techniques best suited for various formation types and situations
  • Know how to apply basic non-acid and acidizing concepts
  • Learn basic hydraulic fracturing concepts
