Acid Stimulation – From Formation Diagnosis to Treatment Design, Execution and Evaluation

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Evaluate and select suitable wells for acidizing by identifying formation problems, potential damage mechanisms and the appropriate stimulation objectives.
• Apply practical field calculations to acidizing operations, including treatment parameters and determination of fracture pressure.
• Understand acid formulations, chemical functions and laboratory testing requirements and their importance in designing safe and effective acid treatments.
• Design sandstone and carbonate acidizing treatments, including treatment selection, acid volumes, pumping schedules and key operational considerations.
• Develop and assess practical acidizing job designs while addressing challenges associated with high-water-cut and horizontal wells and applying appropriate QA/QC practices.

This course is designed for professionals involved in well productivity, stimulation, completion and well intervention activities, including:

• Technical and engineering personnel responsible for acidizing job design, planning, or evaluation
• Field and Operations Engineers involved in stimulation activities
• Production Engineers
• Petroleum Engineers
• Well Intervention Engineers
• Well Services Engineers
• Stimulation Engineers
• Production Technologists
• Completion Engineers
• Well Integrity and Intervention Personnel
• Reservoir Engineers

• Intermediate

This highly practical, instructor-led programme combines technical discussions, field-based examples, case studies, guided calculations, interactive exercises and practical job-design activities. Participants will progressively apply the concepts covered to sandstone and carbonate acidizing scenarios, including fluid and additive selection, treatment volumes, pumping schedules and operational considerations. Guided exercises allow participants to develop their own sandstone and carbonate acidizing treatment schedules using their own field data where appropriate, or representative field data provided by the trainer. The programme also places strong emphasis on post-treatment evaluation, including assessment of treatment performance, diversion and distribution, flowback information and the interpretation of treatment results to improve future jobs. Daily quizzes and interactive discussions will be used to reinforce learning and address participants’ specific field challenges.
