This
course is concerned with the multi-disciplinary nature of hydraulic
fracturing. It covers the "Reservoir Engineering" aspects,
integrated with "Fracture Mechanics", and tied
with "Operational" considerations. The course is presented
with visual aids from NSI's comprehensive manual. It has the most
up-to-date collection of state-of-the-art fracturing concepts and
practices, as well as solved case examples from challenges such as
Australian tight gas wells, Gulf of Mexico "frac-pack"
completions, and North Sea tip screenout (TSO) treatments. The
applications for the week are built on two complete, detailed, real
problems. The course is taught by Mike Smith, who has a Ph.D. in Rock
Mechanics from Rice University and over 20 years of experience in rock
mechanics, well completions, and hydraulic fracturing. Mike co-developed
the revolutionary framework for fracturing pressure analysis. He has
done worldwide consulting, and has served as an SPE Distinguished
Lecturer, written several chapters in the recent SPE Monograph, and
developed and presented SPE short courses on Fracturing Pressure
Analysis. He was recently presented with the SPE Lester C. Uren Award
for his contributions to hydraulic fracturing technology.
The fee for the one week course is $2,250.00 (USD). This fee includes tuition, course manual, use of computers and all software. Enrollment is limited to allow for the best possible training for those who attend.

This
course is designed for engineers concerned with detailed design and
analysis of hydraulic pressure treatments. A good understanding and
familiarity with fracturing fundamentals, materials selection
(fluids/proppant), and applications is required. The emphasis is placed
on analyzing fracturing pressure data during pumping, and during the
subsequent pressure decline, and the use of this data to recognize
common problems. Many real field situations will be examined in the
practical sessions (which comprise over half the course). The
"workshop" format of this course uses examples of actual
problem wells from many different environments. The examples are viewed
using Stimplan/E-Stimplan and 3-D fracture modeling. The course included
actual solved case histories ranging from Australian tight gas wells, to
Gulf of Mexico "frac-packs", to North Sea tip screenout (TSO)
treatments. The practical applications during the week are built on
complete and detailed real field problems. This format allows the
participants to gain a deeper understanding of the field in a short
time. Participants are also encouraged to bring data sets from their own
fractured (or fracture candidate) wells for use in the practical
sessions. The
course is taught by Mike Smith, who has a Ph.D. in Rock Mechanics from
Rice University and over 20 years of experience in rock mechanics, well
completions, and hydraulic fracturing. Mike co-developed the
revolutionary framework for fracturing pressure analysis. He has done
worldwide consulting, and has served as an SPE Distinguished Lecturer,
written several chapters in the recent SPE Monograph, and developed and
presented SPE short courses on Fracturing Pressure Analysis. He was
