COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Stimulation Engineer: Enhanced Recovery & Reservoir Treatment. It covers the reservoir stimulation, reservoir characterization for stimulation and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) principles; the matrix acidizing fundamentals and fracture stimulation fundamentals; the wellbore preparation and candidate selection; the rock mechanics and fracture geometry, fracturing fluids and additives; the proppant selection, transport and fracturing equipment and surface setup; and the pressure and rate monitoring, microseismic fracture mapping, surface and downhole diagnostics and data interpretation and adjustments. Further, the course will also discuss the fracture treatment evaluation and diagnostics; the acidizing techniques and applications; the acid-rock interaction, reaction kinetics, acidizing additives and compatibility and sandstone acidizing design; the acid placement methods and health, safety and environmental concerns; and the chemical EOR methods, thermal EOR techniques and gas injection methods. 
 During this interactive course, participants will learn the foam stability and injection techniques, in-situ microbial activity and oil recovery; the bacteria selection, nutrient management and compatibility with reservoir conditions; the screening criteria for pilot sites, injection well design and pressure, production, tracer and monitoring; the production logging and surveillance tools; the post-stimulation well testing and analysis and stimulation optimization strategies; and the future trends in reservoir stimulation.
