    This course is a revision of main concepts of Hydraulic Fracturing in conventional formations, including tight sandstones, and the application of Microseismic Imaging to Fracturing Operations. The first three of this course overviews the main concepts of Hydraulic Fracturing and the last two days discuss Fracture Mapping through Microseismic. Hydraulic Fracturing is illustrated by numerous exercises to facilitate the understanding of the topics. In Microseismic, the theoretical background of acquisition, processing, and interpretation of the data will presented, focusing on practical considerations related to executing a successful imaging project.  The theoretical basis will be closely tied to key field examples in order to demonstrate specific aspects.  Potential interpretation pitfalls will be stressed in terms of data quality, image accuracy, sensitivity, and resolution, as well as fundamental limitations of the data related to geomechanics.  Quality control attributes will be presented in order for participants to better understand the data limitations and confidence, especially the potential impact on interpretation.  Finally, an overview of advanced processing and future research directions will be discussed.

    This course is aimed for geoscience and engineering personnel involved with the mapping of fracturing operations using microseismic, in the planning, execution, and interpretation of microseismic data to image hydraulic fracturing. 

    Skills in fracturing design and operations, sound knowledge of Geomechanics and well completions and well intervention opertations.
