Maximize production potential of shale gas projects and improve efficiencies through enhanced drilling and completions techniques

Whether you have experience in drilling and producing from shale gas plays, or you are about to gain access to shale gas resources, you are faced with ongoing challenges to ensure the technical and financial efficiency of drilling and well completions. From horizontal well placement to water management techniques

Shale Gas Drilling & Completions 2010, delivers key insight into applying cutting-edge drilling and completions techniques used throughout diverse shale projects in the US & Canada. Leading shale producers will share real life examples of their drilling and completions success and challenges - including experience from the Barnett, Haynesville, Horn River, Marcellus, Woodford and Fayetteville shale plays.

By attending this industry leading event, you will have the opportunity to benchmark your drilling and completion techniques with your peers. You will gain expert insight from case history examples, to help reduce the cost and increase the efficiency of developing new plays. You will also learn effective completions techniques that will ensure the continued success across the production lifecycle of the play.

Key topics for discussion include:

  • Understand options for water supply, storage, reuse and treatment
  • Proppant selection, supply and implications on shale stimulations
  • Flowback considerations for multi-stage horizontal well completions
  • Completion strategies to maximize shale recovery
  • Maximizing perforating and fracturing techniques
  • Horizontal well placement techniques
