Course Description:

This course improves the recovery from calcareous and sandy oil reservoir by acidzing & hydraulic fracturing. It enables one to timely select the most beneficial method & set realistic exceptions on production behavior changes and recovery improvement.   

Course Goal:

To enhance the participants’ knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for improving calcareous & sandy oil reservoirs  

Course Objectives:

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

• Evaluate the reservoir before the treatment.
• Identify and study the causes of formation damage
• Execute & design acidizing & hydraulic fracturing for both carbonate & sandstone reservoirs
