Well Stimulation Suite 2005

INSTRUCTOR:               Bob Porteous or Denis Gaudet

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:           Engineers, geologists, technologists and operations personnel who want to learn or advance their knowledge of well stimulation.

SUMMARY:      This presentation format consists of three segments. They are presented in logical order. The complete suite deals with the fundamental and advanced aspects of hydraulic fracturing as well as matrix and fracture acidizing. New and emerging technologies are covered in the final portion..
