Hydraulic fracturing is one of the most impactful technologies in the oil and gas industry, enabling the economic production of hydrocarbons from low-permeability formations. A solid understanding of its fundamentals is essential for effective planning, execution, and evaluation of fracture treatments.

This training course provides participants with the technical knowledge needed to design and implement hydraulic fracturing operations that are both effective and environmentally responsible. It emphasizes the integration of geomechanics, fluid dynamics, and operational controls in modern fracturing practices.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamental principles and mechanisms of hydraulic fracturing.

  
  

• Identify reservoir and rock parameters influencing fracture design.

  
  

• Describe the role of fracturing fluids, proppants, and additives in treatment success.

  
  

• Design basic fracturing jobs and select appropriate treatment parameters.

  
  

• Evaluate post-fracture performance and diagnose common issues.

  
  

• Apply best practices for safe, efficient, and environmentally sound fracturing operations.

The course uses a balanced combination of lectures, interactive discussions, examples, and real field case studies. Participants will engage in conceptual design exercises and performance analysis sessions to reinforce learning and apply theory to practical scenarios.

Organizations will benefit through:

• Improved decision-making in stimulation design and execution.

  
  

• Enhanced well productivity and asset performance.

  
  

• Reduced operational risk through better understanding of fracture mechanics.

  
  

• Strengthened technical competence across production and reservoir teams.

  
  

• Adoption of cost-effective and sustainable fracturing strategies.

Participants will:

• Gain a thorough understanding of hydraulic fracturing concepts and workflows.

  
  

• Develop technical confidence in fracture design and evaluation.

  
  

• Strengthen their problem-solving and analytical capabilities.

  
  

• Enhance collaboration with multidisciplinary field and reservoir teams.

  
  

• Expand career opportunities in production optimization and stimulation engineering.

This course is ideal for:

• Drilling, Completion, and Production Engineers

  
  

• Stimulation and Reservoir Engineers

  
  

• Well Services and Operations Supervisors

  
  

• Geoscientists involved in field development and reservoir characterization

  
  

• Technical Managers overseeing well performance and stimulation programs

On successful completion of this training course, PEA Certificate will be awarded to the delegates.
