Abstract: Pressure drawdown management is one of the most critical, yet until recently underappreciated and not fully characterized, levers of shale production performance. While rapid drawdown can deliver short-term gains, in certain reservoirs it risks compromising long-term recovery, the integrity of the fracture system, and liquid yield. This lecture explores pressure drawdown management in shale… Read More »SPE Denver General Meeting: September 2025

General Meeting Category: Reservoir Speaker: Reidar Bratvold, Professor Emeritus, University of Stavanger Title: Persistent Bias in Probabilistic Production Forecasting and Simple Methods to Overcome It Abstract: The one key idea I would like the members to take away: Unbiased probabilistic production forecasts are a crucial component in making good investment decisions — but typical… Read More »SPE Denver General Meeting: November 2025
Abstract: Organic Oil Recovery is a tertiary oil recovery process that only stimulates certain resident microbes that already exist in your reservoir to release residual, bypassed and trapped oil — without chemicals, downhole modifications, topside changes, or capex. By feeding the microbes a specific targeted nutrient blend, we activate a gene in the target microbial… Read More »SPE Denver General Meeting: December 2025
Event description Abstract: The fracturing fluids not only plays a pivotal role in near-wellbore stimulation, influencing proppant transport, and cluster efficiency, but is critical to minimizing formation damage and maximizing oil recovery. While friction reduction has traditionally guided fluid selection, this study shifts the focus toward subsurface performance metrics that directly impact hydrocarbon… Read More »SPE Denver General Meeting: January 2026
Abstract: Operators developing Tier 3 acreage in the Williston Basin often face thin reservoirs, high water cut, H₂S generation, and low returns. This case study highlights a two- well pad in the Middle Bakken and Three Fork intervals where a tailored completions design was applied to control fracture height growth, enhance fracture complexity, and… Read More »SPE Denver General Meeting: February 2026
Title: Formation-Informed Performance: Closing the Loop Between Geology, Drilling, and Completions. Author: Erin Britton, Drilling Solutions Engineering Team Lead, CORVA Session Overview: As unconventional development programs mature, optimizing well performance requires tighter integration between geoscience, drilling, and completions teams. Yet zone placement decisions often overlook formation-level variability that directly impacts ROP, MSE, vibration, and overall drilling… Read More »SPE Denver General Meeting: March 2026
