Integrated Hydraulic Fracture Modeling and Rate Transient Analysis Workshop

Duration– 5 days

Instructors– David Anderson, Adam Staruiala (bios available here: http://atreservoir.com/about-us/)

Course Description

This course will provide participants with a robust yet practical workflow for characterizing reservoir and completion properties with the primary objective of predicting and optimizing asset performance and hydrocarbon recovery, with relatively simple software tools, limited time and sparse data availability. The workflow utilizes log and core, well test (DFIT), hydraulic fracturing, PVT and well performance data and tightly couples the sciences of hydraulic fracture modeling with Rate Transient Analysis. The workflow is specifically designed for unconventional basins (both oil and gas) and has been successfully field tested in the Montney, Permian, Marcellus and Haynesville plays. These examples will be worked as a class, as well as pre-determined in-house and/or customized examples (provided that adequate lead time is provided).
