Overview

Well Acidizing and Hydraulic Fracturing Operations Training Course is a one-week advanced programme for petroleum, stimulation, production, drilling and completion engineers, field supervisors and technical service professionals. Participants connect reservoir objectives and formation damage with candidate selection, matrix acidizing, acid fracturing and proppant hydraulic fracturing. The course develops a structured understanding of treatment design inputs, fluid and proppant selection, equipment, execution controls, pressure response, diagnostics, flowback and post-treatment evaluation. It does not prescribe a field treatment or replace company engineering assurance. Agile Leaders Training Center develops practical well-stimulation design and operations capability.

Who Should Attend

Petroleum, reservoir and production engineers
Stimulation, completion and drilling engineers
Well services and technical service professionals
Field supervisors, pumping leads and operations coordinators
HSE, quality and asset professionals supporting stimulation work

Participants should understand basic well construction, reservoir behaviour and production terminology. The course is educational and does not authorise treatment design, chemical handling or pressure operations without company procedures and competent supervision.

Departments and Industries

The course supports reservoir, production, drilling, completions, well intervention, stimulation, field operations, laboratory, HSE and technical assurance teams in operating companies and oilfield service organisations.

Learning Objectives

Relate reservoir objectives, formation damage and candidate selection to stimulation choice
Compare matrix acidizing, acid fracturing and proppant hydraulic fracturing
Interpret key rock, fluid, pressure and completion inputs for treatment design
Review acid systems, fracturing fluids, additives and proppants
Plan equipment, execution controls and quality checkpoints
Use pressure response and diagnostics to evaluate treatment behaviour
Structure post-treatment flowback and performance evaluation

Course Methodology

The programme uses technical briefings, selection matrices, simplified calculations, fluid-selection exercises, pressure plots, equipment schematics, operational scenarios and post-job reviews. Participants build a Stimulation Basis of Design containing assumptions, risks, decision gates and evaluation measures.

Day 1: Stimulation Basis and Candidate Selection

Production impairment, formation damage and reservoir objectives
Candidate data, completion constraints and treatment readiness
Decision boundaries among matrix acidizing, acid fracturing and proppant fracturing
Rock properties, in-situ stress, permeability and pressure context
Building the stimulation basis and uncertainty register

Day 2: Matrix Acidizing and Acid System Design

Acid-mineral reactions in carbonate and sandstone settings
Acid concentration, additives, compatibility and corrosion control
Injection rate, diversion, placement and reaction behaviour
Laboratory evidence, fluid testing and material compatibility
Matrix treatment sequence, monitoring and quality checkpoints

Day 3: Fracture Mechanics and Treatment Materials

Fracture initiation, propagation, geometry and containment
Differences between acid fractures and proppant-supported fractures
Fracturing-fluid functions, rheology, leakoff and cleanup
Proppant properties, transport, placement and conductivity
Linking design assumptions to expected pressure response

Day 4: Equipment, Execution and Operational Control

Surface equipment, high-pressure lines, blending and pumping systems
Pre-job checks, roles, communications and decision authority
Rate, pressure, concentration and material quality monitoring
Barrier management, chemical safety and environmental controls
Responding to pressure anomalies, screenout risk and execution changes

Day 5: Diagnostics, Flowback and Performance Evaluation

Treatment pressure plots and basic diagnostic interpretation
Comparing executed volumes, rates and materials with the design basis
Flowback planning, cleanup indicators and production handover
Post-treatment production response and uncertainty analysis
Completing a post-job review and improvement plan

Practical Outputs

Stimulation candidate-selection matrix
Acid system and compatibility checklist
Fracturing-fluid and proppant selection worksheet
Pre-job readiness and execution-control checklist
Pressure-response review template
Post-treatment evaluation plan

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the course teach one proprietary design package?

No. The course is platform-neutral and focuses on engineering logic, inputs, controls and interpretation.

Does it cover both acidizing and hydraulic fracturing?

Yes. It compares matrix acidizing, acid fracturing and proppant hydraulic fracturing within one decision framework.

Will participants design an actual field treatment?

Participants practise structured design reasoning using educational cases, not an authorised field programme.

Are safety and environmental controls included?

Yes. Chemical handling, pressure operations, barriers, communication and environmental controls are integrated into execution planning.

What is the main workplace output?

Participants complete a Stimulation Basis of Design and post-job evaluation framework.
