    The course discusses the completion of wells in shale formations using hydraulic fracturing technique. The course revisits the concepts of fracturing in sandstones (models, fluids and proppants), introduces the concepts related to fracturing shale formations - geomechanics of shales, models for hydraulic fractures in shales, complexity of hydraulic fractures - and discusses the main concerns related to the completion of horizontal wells. After the course, participants will be able to contribute to the development of shale well completions, participating in multi-disciplinary groups dedicated to the design hydraulic fracturing in these formations.

     

     

    Reservoir Engineers, Production and Completion Engineers and other technical staff involved in fracturing design and operations in shale formations.

    Exposure to the concepts of fracturing in conventional formations and general knowledge rock mechanics.
