Production and Completions
Unconventional Resources Completion and Stimulation
Horizontal wells are now standard in unconventional and tight reservoirs, where lower quality pay means only a well-planned completion and fracture programme yields an economic well. This course explores what good completion and stimulation practice looks like in these settings. It covers geomechanics, completion options, stimulation design and efficient data collection.
