The Hydraulic Fracturing Applications Course gives completion engineers, production engineers, and petroleum professionals a comprehensive, practically grounded understanding of hydraulic fracturing — from fluid design and proppant selection through fracture evaluation, completion techniques, and advanced multi-stage horizontal well applications.
Hydraulic fracturing is one of the most technically demanding and commercially significant operations in well stimulation and the quality of fracturing design, execution, and evaluation decisions directly determines well productivity, treatment efficiency, and long-term production performance. Professionals who understand the full fracturing workflow from fluid chemistry and proppant conductivity through diagnostic evaluation, completion equipment selection, and multi-stage design consistently deliver better stimulation outcomes and lower lifting costs.
This course covers the complete hydraulic fracturing workflow from fracturing fluid components and design parameters, through proppant transport, fracture conductivity measurement, and data interpretation, to completion fluid selection, equipment types, and advanced multi-stage fracturing in horizontal wells. Practical exercises are built into every day to ensure delegates develop immediate, applied capability.
The Hydraulic Fracturing Applications Course is built for petroleum and completion professionals who want a technically complete, hands-on understanding of hydraulic fracturing across its full range of well stimulation applications.
The Hydraulic Fracturing Applications Course is designed to develop comprehensive hydraulic fracturing capability from fluid design and proppant selection through fracture evaluation, completion techniques, and advanced multi-stage applications.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
The Hydraulic Fracturing Applications Course is designed for completion engineers, production engineers, petroleum engineers, and field professionals who are involved in the design, execution, or evaluation of hydraulic fracturing operations and who need a technically rigorous, hands-on foundation across the full fracturing workflow.
This course is suitable for:
The Hydraulic Fracturing Applications Course is delivered through a structured, application-focused learning approach that moves progressively from fracturing fundamentals and fluid design through proppant selection, fracture evaluation, completion techniques, and advanced multi-stage applications. Each day addresses a distinct technical domain within the hydraulic fracturing workflow with practical exercises built into every session to ensure immediate capability development.
The course is designed to balance technical depth with practical application ensuring delegates can connect fracturing concepts directly to the design, execution, and evaluation decisions they face in their professional roles.

Common questions about our training courses
This course is designed for completion engineers, production engineers, petroleum engineers, drilling professionals, and field operations specialists who are involved in the design, execution, or evaluation of hydraulic fracturing treatments. It is suitable for both those newer to hydraulic fracturing who need a comprehensive, structured foundation and experienced engineers looking to deepen their technical capability across fluid design, proppant selection, fracture evaluation, and advanced multi-stage applications.
Day 2 dedicates full focus to proppant selection and conductivity covering the types and properties of proppants available, how proppant transport and placement behaviour affects fracture conductivity distribution, and how fracture conductivity is measured and interpreted. Delegates leave with the ability to evaluate proppant options against well-specific conditions and design objectives and to understand how proppant selection directly affects the long-term production performance of a fractured well.
Multi-stage hydraulic fracturing and horizontal well completions are addressed within Day 5 covering the principles of multi-stage design, how stage placement decisions affect fracture distribution and well productivity, and how horizontal well completion architecture enables effective stimulation across extended lateral sections. Delegates develop the ability to evaluate multi-stage completion design options and understand the technical trade-offs that determine how many stages, what stage spacing, and what completion system best serves a given reservoir and well design.
Day 1 covers fracturing fluid fundamentals in full including the components of a fracturing fluid system, the role of each component, and the design parameters and considerations that determine fluid selection for different well and reservoir conditions. Delegates develop the ability to evaluate fracturing fluid systems against specific treatment objectives a foundational skill for any completion or petroleum engineer involved in fracturing design decisions.
Day 3 covers fracture evaluation in depth including the range of techniques used to evaluate hydraulic fracturing treatments, how fracturing data is interpreted to assess treatment effectiveness, and how fracture geometry and conductivity are analysed. Delegates develop the ability to evaluate post-fracture data systematically identifying whether a treatment achieved its design objectives and what the results indicate about fracture dimensions, containment, and conductivity.
Practical exercises are built into every single day of the course covering fracturing design, proppant selection, fracture evaluation, completion technique application, and advanced multi-stage design. These exercises are central to the course structure not supplementary. Delegates who work through all five days of practical sessions leave with a genuine, hands-on hydraulic fracturing competence that they can apply directly in their professional roles from the day they return to work.
