Course Objectives:

• Design hydraulic fracture treatments for typical field situations
• Apply the concepts of well stimulation by hydraulic fracturing to various
• types of reservoir conditions to optimize well productivity
• Recognize opportunities for substantial production improvement by
• application of effective hydraulic fracturing
• Gather pertinent well data and information to plan, design, implement,
• and evaluate fracturing treatments for all types of reservoirs
• Realize the strengths and limitations of hydraulic fracture theory as it relates
• to field applications of fracturing
• Become a participant in each fracturing treatment rather than just a technical observer
