Course Title: Hydraulic Fracing
Course Description:
The
prime goal of Hydraulic fracturing course is to provide information on how
fracturing technology works, how this technology stimulates the production of
oil and natural gas, and how it impacts environment both inland and offshore
operations. Typically, fluids are injected underground at high pressures, the
formations fracture, and the oil or gas flows more freely out of the formation.
Engineers design a fracturing operation based on the unique characteristics of
the formation and reservoir characteristics.
