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.

information on upcoming training sessions.
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:
- fracture design;
- minifrac analysis;
- real-time data acquisition; and
- 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.
Topics Covered Include:
-
Introduction

Model, Fracture interaction, etc.)
- Questions regarding the software options, input data, theory
etc.
These advanced topics will be addressed and illustrated with the help of
the Meyer Software. Specific case studies may be submitted to Meyer in
advance for possible discussion during the workshop.
Who Should Attend?
This workshop is designed for engineers who consider themselves advanced
users of the Meyer Hydraulic Fracturing Software and have strong
engineering skills with proficiency in the basic concepts of fracturing as
related to mass, momentum, and energy conservation. Experience in the
fundamentals of pressure history matching, auto design, and minifrac
analyses are required. Participants upon enrollment should provide a list
of topics they specifically wish to have addressed during the workshop.
