New Optimization  Technology with Advanced Field /Stimulation Systems

Resources Engineering Systems

and

ATECH Application Technology Limited

present a three day course

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who should attend and why?

Engineers, geo-scientists, technologists and managers interested in overall optimization and proper implementation of operations related to well construction and field production activities.

Course Content:

This course will emphasize the latest developments in the evaluation and understanding of stimulation, especially hydraulically fracturing, as a central component to achieve better implementation of field development strategies.  The focus will be on “Cost Reduction & Improved Measurable Performance” using Return on Investment as the indisputable measure of each option.  Emphasis will be on the application of useful technology & practical software.  The hands-on experience will focus on new capabilities with “PRO-software” and Internet implementation of useful strategies for overall field development optimization.  Besides exploding long-held myths (like perforation pressure drop & high leak-off), further implications of our new discoveries will be exploited to develop practical methodologies, requiring mainly precise on-site engineering, e.g., with real-time analysis.  Examples will include coiled-tubing applications (for many more fracturing activities) and viability of open-hole completions, even in stimulating long horizontals.

Course Instructors:

Dr. Michael Cleary.  Dr. Cleary’s achievements and academic credentials include:

 

Chairman – Resources Engineering Systems Inc., 1983 present.

Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1975-1994.
