Hydraulic Fracturing with GOHFER (36 hours)
This course will consist of 12, 3 hour sessions via Microsoft Teams from 9 am to noon Houston time.
Part 1 will be held on Tuesday, July 26th, thru Friday, July 29th
Part 2 will be held on Tuesday, August 2nd, thru Friday, August 5th
Part 3 will be held on Tuesday, August 9th, thru Friday, August 12th
The course begins with a general introduction to the GOHFER Hydraulic Fracturing Simulation software. No prior experience with GOHFER is required, but students should have general knowledge of hydraulic fracturing. During the course we will build several projects using data we provide. This will include a complete vertical well project, a single lateral horizontal well project, and a project with multiple laterals.
Please note that an active GOHFER license is required to take part in this course. The training is free of charge to one student per current licensed copy of GOHFER. Training licenses are available on a limited basis for a small fee.
This course will be taught by Dr. Robert Barree, Technology Fellow for Production Enhancement with Halliburton, assisted by Kevin Svatek and Andy Benson.
Registration must be complete by end of business Friday, July 22, 2022
Basic GOHFER Training Class
TBD
Who Should Attend: This course targets individuals who are new to the GOHFER software or those who want a refresher course. All facets and modules of the GOHFER software will be discussed and demonstrated including the new GOHFER v9.0 Multi-Well Fully 3D Geo-Mechanical Model.
Description and objective: To demonstrate, along with class participation, the GOHFER integrated geomechanical fracture simulation software project workflow with actual data while discussing individual inputs, functions and features of the application. Provides basic understanding of how to use and navigate the user interface and apply the program to individual project.
Advanced GOHFER Training Class
GOHFER – Multi-Well Fully 3D Geo-Mechanical Model & GPA (Production Analysis)
TBD
Who Should Attend: This course is intended for EXPERIENCED GOHFER USERS ONLY. This course will discuss and demonstrate the latest GOHFER Multi-Well Fully 3D Geo-Mechanical Model and GOHFER Production Analysis (GPA). This course assumes the students have received previous GOHFER training and are proficient with the current customer version. Basic/beginner topics and other modules will not be covered.
Description:
- Multi-wells, including vertical and horizontal, in same model
- Fracture stress-shadow interference between fractures and stages, on each well
- Multi-layer completions, zipper-fracs, and offset depletion effects
- Full 3D geo-mechanical earth model input
- Optional input of 2D surface map w/ reference well logs
- Geo-steering of laterals and engineered completions
- Full processing of log or “core” from 3D earth model
- Decline Analysis / Type Curve Analysis
