CEE 1809 - HYDRAULIC FRACTURING MECHANICS


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This class will prepare students to wisely and critically design hydraulic fracturing treatments as well as make informed recommendations to employers, governments, and communities about the risks and benefits of hydraulic fracturing methods. Upon completion of this course, students will be equipped to use engineering formulae to estimate hydraulic fracture dimensions, evaluate strengths and weaknesses of various modeling approaches, characterize subsurface conditions from wellbore pressure analysis, make sound recommendations for monitoring, and compare and contrast approaches and risks for a range of application domains.
Academic Career: Undergraduate
Course Component: Lecture
Grade Component: Letter Grade
Course Requirements: PREQ: CEE 1330 and 1402; PROG: Swanson School of Engineering
