SUMMARY:May Technical Happy Hour
DESCRIPTION:Host: Society of Petroleum Engineers\, Denver SectionEvent: May 2025 Technical Happy HourTime: May 8th\, 4-6 (HH begins at 4\, Talk at 430\, Social until 6)Location: Liberty Energy\, 950 17th St\, Suite 2400\, Denver\, CO 80202Sponsor: LibertyStudy Group Category: ReservoirSpeaker: Garrett Fowler\, COO\, ResFracTitle: What I Think I’ve Learned About Unconventionals: Perspective of a Reservoir EngineerAbstract:In the last five plus years\, the quality and quantity of subsurface diagnostics has driven a rapid increase in the industry’s understanding of hydraulic fracture geometry\, proppant placement\, and pressure depletion. Subsurface insights can largely be summarized into three themes: fractures are large planar features at the macro scale\, and complex at the micro scale; fractures predominantly produce from unaltered rock permeability; and proppant and fluid take the path of least resistance (sometimes not where we want them to go!).Armed with deeper understanding of hydraulic fracturing processes\, completions teams are empowered to deviate from “manufacturing mode” development and instead employ prescriptive designs for specific geologic\, geomechanical\, and depletion environments.This talk integrates the latest learnings of hydraulic fracture characterization from case studies to present a cohesive summary of what fractures look like\, where the proppant is placed\, how fluids are produced through fractures\, and why this knowledge informs better frac designs and better wells.If a particular topic is of interest to the section\, emphasis may be given to one or more of:parent/child and depletion effects\, refracturing\, conductivity loss (proppant embedment\, crushing)\, geomechanical property characterization\, fracturing in geothermal\, geomechanical considerations and fracturing for CO2 sequestration\, or diagnostic technologies for unconventionals.Bio:Garrett Fowler is Chief Operating Officer at ResFrac\, responsible for overseeing business strategy\, client engagement\, professional services\, and software licensing for shale\, geothermal\, and CCS projects across the world. Prior to ResFrac\, Garrett focused on EOR and waterflooding as a reservoir engineer at Oxy and Tachyus. Garrett holds bachelors and masters degrees in engineering from Stanford University\, was awarded a 2022 SPE Regional Completions Optimization and \nTechnology Award\, is currently a 2023-2024 SPE Distinguished Lecturer\, and\n\n\nauthored or co-authored 24 technical papers. In his free time\, Garrett competes in triathlons and mountain bike races\, and volunteers as a search and rescue diver.\n\n\nRegister Here
