This specialized training course offers an in-depth exploration of well stimulation technologies, with a primary emphasis on scale removal, matrix acidizing, and the fundamentals of Acid/hydraulic fracturing. It effectively connects theoretical principles with real-world application, guiding participants through advanced design practices and performance analysis techniques.
Throughout the course, participants will actively engage in designing customized stimulation treatments using actual field data. Working collaboratively in teams, they will develop and refine treatment strategies based on formation type and damage mechanisms. Additionally, a dedicated explanation will be provided on how acidizing simulation software functions, focusing on required input data, input file structures, and typical output results. Participants will review real-case outputs to become familiar with treatment performance evaluation.
