Horizontal and Multilateral Wells: Completions and Stimulation

Horizontal and multilateral wells demand interdisciplinary planning and specialised techniques to succeed. This intensive course covers all aspects of their design and completion, including reservoir characteristics, hole stability, formation damage and zonal isolation. It also introduces stimulation design and analysis for these well types.
