Well Stimulation Methods

In Well Stimulation Methods, we will cover well productivity using mechanical stimulation methods that alter the wellbore, such as under-reaming, cavitation, hydraulic fracturing, and frac packing. You will also learn about mechanical stimulation methods that work by reducing the viscosity of the oil, such as cyclic steam stimulation; and continuous steam injection methods, such as steam flooding and steam assisted gravity drainage. Finally, we will review chemical stimulation methods, including acid fracturing and matrix acidizing.

Target Audience

Operations personnel who require a fundamental understanding of knowledge to operate and maintain facilities. Also suitable for maintenance and technician personnel whether new to their roles or seasoned experts looking to enhance their skills.

You Will Learn

Participants will learn how to:

• Explain how mechanical stimulation methods restore productivity to a well.
• List different types of mechanical stimulation methods used to alter the wellbore physical condition.
• Describe mechanical stimulation methods used to reduce oil viscosity.
• Indicate how chemical stimulation methods restore well productivity.
