Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. Matrix stimulation is a treatment designed to treat the near-wellbore reservoir formation rather than other areas of the production conduit, such as the casing across the production interval, production tubulars or the perforations. Matrix stimulation treatments include acid, solvent and chemical treatments to improve the permeability of the nearwellbore formation, enhancing the productivity of a well. Matrix stimulation is a process of injecting a fluid into the formation, either an acid or solvent at pressures below the fracturing pressure, to improve the production or injection flow capacity of a well. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of matrix stimulation. It covers the formation characterization; the nature of formation damage; the acidizing fluids selection; the fluid placement and diversion in sandstone acidizing; the matrix acidizing treatment; the principles of acid fracturing; the mechanics of acid fracture propagation; and the acidizing techniques for extended reach and horizontal wells.
