Training

Meyer & Associates, Inc. offers in-house training and schools. We believe in teaching and stressing fundamentals. Through hands-on instruction we provide the foundation for the student to fully utilize the capabilities of our software. The sound engineering fundamentals we apply to our software are the same principles we bring to the classroom.

3D Fracture Design & Fundamentals Using MFrac

Course Description:

This course is designed to provide the participant with a working knowledge of fracturing treatment design, minifrac analysis, and real-time/replay fracturing analysis. The following topics will be covered:

1. fracture design;
2. minifrac analysis;
3. real-time data acquisition; and
4. history matching.

Fundamental aspects of fracturing will be addressed and illustrated with the help of MFrac. The topics covered in this course are considered essential to the understanding of fracturing and the fracturing design process.

This course is designed around the fracture design program, MFrac and the minifrac analysis program, MinFrac. There will be a great deal of emphasis on the use of each program. Each topic will be illustrated by examples. Exercises will be used to reinforce principles and illustrate use of the programs.

Who Should Attend:

This course is designed for engineers, geologists, technical professionals, and individuals who are familiar with hydraulic fracturing treatments and have had exposure to hydraulic fracturing software.
