Course description
Advanced Hydraulic Fracturing - AHF
This advanced course is designed for those who have a practical understanding of the applications of hydraulic fracturing and want to expand their knowledge. The course will provide the details and discussion of fracturing concepts usually accepted or assumed in fracturing applications. The strengths and limitations of various approaches to fracturing treatment design will be covered.
Attendees should leave the advanced course with a better understanding of the hydraulic fracturing process and how it relates to post-frac well performance.
Suitability - Who should attend?
Production, operations, and completions engineers who are actively involved in hydraulic fracturing applications and desire a more in-depth understanding of hydraulic fracturing theory and applied concepts. It is designed for engineers that have some fracturing experience or those who have already attended the PetroSkills Intermediate level Hydraulic Fracturing Applications course.
