13.00 – 16.00 Improve efficiencies and improved cost in water management in shale plays

This interactive workshop will give you the opportunity to gain in-depth learning regarding the challenges of water management from supply through to disposal. This will include cost, environmental performance and risk management issues.

Key topics for discussion include:

• Implementing a framework for an integrated water management approach
• Understanding the water management cycle in terms of:
• Water supply challenges
• Water storage options
• Water treatment
• Water re-use and proper methods for safe disposal
• Frost protection costs
• Regulatory updates and considerations

07.00 – 08.50 Optimizing hydraulic fracture design

This workshop will focus on discussion of hydraulic fracture treatments in shale formations - focusing on the major design parameters. The session will promote open exchange of ideas, experiences and best practices which will make the workshop beneficial to all. Discussions will be centered on the following major design parameters:

• Phasing
• Shot density
• Interval length
• Number of intervals
• Stage size
• Isolation

Diagnostics

• Chemical tracers
• Radioactive tracers
• Microsiesmic
• Production logs

Fracture Design

• Fluid and proppant volumes
• Proppant type and mesh
• Pump rates
• Chemicals

Flowback

• Flowback rates
• Total volume recovered

Production Response

• Number of fracture
• Fracture spacing
• Artificial lift

08.30 – 11.30 Completion & stimulation techniques that work in HPHT unconventional gas completions

This interactive workshop will give you the tools and the expert knowledge to manage the challenges of drilling and completing in HPHT environments.

Using case history experience you will explore the following:

• Formation evaluation options
• Well construction considerations for high temperature, over pressured MFHZ
• Stress analysis considerations for multiple high rate slick-water fracturing
• Post-frac evaluation options
• Deliverability expectations - are we there?
• Project economics - can this improve?
