GENERAL MEETING | A Practical Approach to Overcoming Sustained Casing Pressure in the DJ Basin
When: Wednesday June 17th, 2020 | 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Where: Denver Athletic Club | 1325 Glenarm Pl., Denver, CO
Speakers: Geoff Landry, Cementing Technical Manager, Schlumberger North America and Alec Nettleton, Rockies Well Integrity Domain Champion, Schlumberger North America.
Abstract:
Sustained casing pressure (SCP) has been an ongoing issue for both new and old wells in the DJ Basin. The best, and often most cost effective long term solution to SCP is to prevent it in the first place, so an effective primary cement design is critical. If encountered after the primary cement placement or post fracture treatment, SCP is a complex problem requiring a comprehensive, often well-specific solution involving advanced techniques for identifying the source of gas influx and the implementation of a tailored remediation design. This iterative process has evolved over the past several years, and many lessons have been learned that have led to the successful prevention and remediation of SCP. Please join us as Schlumberger Domain Champions Geoff Landry and Alec Nettleton discuss “what’s working where and why,” from a technical perspective for several of the DJ Basin’s Operators.

SPE YP | Lunch and Learn: Illuminating Wells With Intervaention-Based Fiber Optics
When: Wednesday, March 11, 2020 | 11:30 a.m.
Where: Liberty Oilfield Services | 1950 17th St, Suite 2400, Denver, CO
Speaker: Matthew Lawrence, Senior Technical Advisor & Ahmed Attia, Reservoir Manager, Ziebel
Abstract:
Better data informs better decision making. Multiple factors impact well and completion performance that are not discernable from surface production data alone. How can operators understand which factors are impacting their completion optimization efforts? Distributed fiber optic sensing (DAS and DTS) is playing a pivotal role in advancing operator understanding of stimulation and production performance. However, permanent fiber installations are cost-prohibitive, restricting utilization or limiting the scope of data collection to a single well in a single section of a play.
Intervention based fiber optics are a cost-effective alternative allowing a broader scope of diagnostic efforts. This presentation will review applications of deployed fiber optics for evaluating stimulation and production uniformity, completion efficiency, and well spacing. These real-world case studies demonstrate how data gathered by distributed sensing is equipping operators to produce better wells sooner.
Bios:
Matthew Lawrence is a Senior Technical Advisor at Ziebel. He’s worked in the upstream oil and gas for 19 years, introducing new technologies to aid operators in diagnosing completion and reservoir behavior. Over the past five years, he’s helped create and grow the market for intervention-based distributed fiber optic sensing (DAS+DTS).
Ahmed Attia is the North American Reservoir Manager who leads the reservoir group at Ziebel US. With over 10 years of experience in the energy sector, Ahmed has focused on developing an in-depth understanding for unconventional wellbore behaviors and completion designs. Currently focused on DAS and DTS Ahmed has played a key role in the development and implementation of Ziebel’s leading wellbore and completion analysis .
Lunch will be provided.

YP SPE | Annual SPE Ski Fast Energy Bash 2020
When: March 6 - 8, 2020 | 6:00 a.m.
Where: Keystone Resort, Colorado
Description:
Welcome to the annual Energy Industry Ski Trip! This year, SPE, DAPL, AND YPE are partnering up to make a true Energy Industry Ski Bash! We're electrifying the slopes this year with a level of energy and enthusiasm that's more rigorous than a surface use agreement, hotter than 1,700 MMBTU clean, Colorado natural gas, and (you'd better believe it) much more exciting than watching solar panels track the sun on a single axis!
We'll have a ski bus traveling up on Friday, après ski party Friday, and other networking opportunities for the remainder of the weekend (including the now famous shirtless closing run on Saturday - Snow or Shine).
Registration this year is a-la-carte. You can have a fun ski day on Friday OR stay for the entire weekend! If you plan to ski for all 3 days, make sure to buy 3 lift tickets. The over 30 year tradition of the après ski party on Friday will be hosted at the base of Keystone in Warren Station. Feel free to attend even if you don't ski!
If you don't take the bus up on Friday, then be sure to pick up your lift tickets prior to March 1 from Tabatha at the DAPL offices: 910 16th Street, Suite 223, Denver, Co 80202 (dapl@dapldenver.org). Registration closes on February 14, 2019 ... don't miss the window!
We have plenty of opportunities to sponsor! Descriptions for each of these options is in the ticket section. If you would like to mail a check instead of registering online (to avoid fees), please email Mark (mark.hinaman@gmail.com; 970-629-0668) at SPE or Courtney Ahuja (courtneyahuja@gmail.com; 214-662-7696) at DAPL.

GENERAL MEETING | Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) for Unconventional Reservoirs: The Next Big Thing?
When: Wednesday February 19, 2020 | 11:30 a.m to 1:30 p.m
Where: Denver Athletic Club | 1325 Glenarm Pl., Denver, CO
Speaker: Dr. Todd Hoffman, Associate Professor, Montana Tech
Abstract:
Unconventional reservoirs have had tremendous success over the last decade due to technical advances including long horizontal wells and multi-stage hydraulic fracturing; however, their potential may be even higher. There are trillions of barrels of oil in these resources, and while wells start out at high rates, they decline quickly and primary recovery factors are low, often in the single digits. This clearly indicates a need for some form of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) for these types of reservoirs.In this presentation, the efforts to implement EOR in unconventional reservoirs will be examined in full detail. A number of different injection fluids have been proposed including miscible gas, water and surfactants. Early work focused on modeling and lab studies, and this provided a base of knowledge that was leveraged to carry out pilot field studies. Pilots have been implemented in at least four basins, and the Bakken and Eagle Ford have both had multiple field trials. Huff-n-puff natural gas injection has been shown to be very successful in the Eagle Ford, and today, large-scale field development is occurring there.
Because most of the field trials have been completed in North America, the examples presented are mainly from there; however, as these techniques are reproduced in other basins, the worldwide potential is enormous, and that potential also is discussed in the presentation.
While much has been achieved over the last decade in unconventional reservoirs, implementing EOR in these types of reservoirs will likely bring about even greater success.

Abstract:
Where are Data and Technology Taking Us?
Recent advances in unconventional hydraulic fracturing have been characterized by a continuous series of operational leaps forward. The technology advances that have mattered most for dramatic recent industry efficiency gains have included the application of critical process and product improvements, real-time data processing, process simplification, system automation and just-in-time supply chain streamlining. As we enter 2020, we find ourselves asking where the next big advances will come from. What will the next key technological advances be and where and how will they be applied? We believe there is a large role for big data analysis and its use with Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) among others. This session brings a group of experts from varied industries together to discuss what the industry is already doing with these technologies, and where the hydraulic fracturing and unconventionals industry may be heading.
