This online course provides a hands-on intensive overview of NSI Technologies’ StimPlan™ fracture design/analysis software with detailed examples and data files provided to participants. This course covers the essential elements of using StimPlan™ effectively including loading logs, defining geologic layering for simulations, input of fluid and proppant data, as well as performing a gridded 3-D simulation. Topics include log analysis for modulus and stress, simulation of multi-frac horizontal well, and frac-pack simulations.

StimPlan™ is a complete and integrated software solution for hydraulic fracture design, analysis and optimization. With a comprehensive integrated toolkit and the industry’s most rigorous geometry models, StimPlan™ helps operators worldwide maximize their well performance while lowering expenditure however complex their reservoir or fracture treatment design.

*This course also includes 4 week access to StimPlan™ V8 Cloud (20 hours run time included)*

*A real dataset will be provided by NSI for this StimPlan™ User Course*

Cancellation/Transfer Policy: A minimum of 10 business days’ notice is required to cancel the enrollment, otherwise the tuition fee is forfeited or remains due if not already paid. Cancellation requests received 10 business-days or greater will be honored and tuition refunded.

Transfers to future sessions of participants from the same company will be permitted if notice is given within 6 business days. Substitution of participants from the same company will be permitted. Notice of substitution must be received 24 hours prior to the course start. 

Please contact NSI if you need to cancel, transfer or substitute.

NSI reserves the right to cancel any session at any time. The decision to cancel is generally made one week before the session. We reserve the right to substitute course instructors as necessary.

The online course is presented in a “workshop” fashion. After a brief review of frac­turing pressure analysis background, basic closure pressure analysis techniques, etc., we also discuss “non-ideal” cases. These are then reviewed by working through actual case history data. This includes natural fracture (pressure dependent) loss, horizontal well DFIT, After-Closure-Analysis (ACA) type curves for detecting stress sensitive permeability, etc. Time is also set aside to review cases/data brought by the participants – everyone is urged to bring their own data for review by the group.

A complete set of course materials is included in this course.

*Participants will need to bring a laptop with Microsoft Excel to each day of this course*

This 5-day course emphasizes the multi-disciplinary nature of hydraulic fracturing, covering the "Reservoir Engineering" aspects, integrated with the "Fracture Mechanics" aspects, and coupled with "Operational" considerations. This integration is absolutely necessary in order to present how to recognize opportunities for fracturing from hard rock tight gas, to offshore "frac-pack" completions, to multi-fractured horizontal shale wells. Also covered is how to estimate required data for planning and preparing preliminary job designs, how to design, perform, and analyze pre-frac tests, and finally how to arrive at an "optimum" final design. Along with an Introduction to Fracturing, the course covers Reservoir Response, Rock Stresses, Fracture Geometry, Fracture Pressure Analysis, Fracture Fluid & Proppant Selection, Multi - Fractured Horizontal Wells, and Field Application & Quality Control.

A working Hydraulic Fracturing laboratory tour is included in this course.

A complete set of course materials and lunch is included in this course.
