Well Stimulation

Course Duration:

5 Working Days

Course Overview:

This course discusses the various well stimulation treatments that are frequently used to stimulate old or poorly producing wells. It will cover the stimulation techniques as tools to help manage and optimize reservoir development

Course Objective:

The course includes acidizing and fracturing quality control, conducting the treatment, monitoring pressures, and other critical parameters, during and after the treatment.
