Hydraulic Fracturing Applications
This course revisits hydraulic fracturing fundamentals and how the technique applies across sandstone and carbonate reservoirs. It sets out the data and steps needed to choose candidates, then plan, design, carry out and evaluate treatments. The role of fracture modelling as a design tool, and its limitations in practice, is also covered.
