Introduction
This Stimulation Technologies training course covers most aspects of Stimulation Technologies whose main objective is to repair formation harm to revive/increase production. This training course starts by presenting the fundamental ideas for stimulating job style, execution, and follow-up. Discussion is doled out on formation harm and its impact on well performance and the designing of acid stimulation treatments. Focus is given to the most common causes of formation harm (damage throughout drilling, cementing, perforating, producing, and working over wells) and how these may be identified.
This training course will highlight:
- Formation damage (Definition, mechanism, countermeasures, etc.)
- Acidizing (Matrix acidizing, acid fracturing, etc.)
- Hydraulic fracturing overview
- HSE and stimulation
Objectives
- 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
