SUMMARY:September General Meeting: Making Unconventionals Competitive – Minimizing the Cost per Barrel Oil
DESCRIPTION:Lecturer’s Name: Leen Weijers\nLecturer’s Employer: Liberty Energy \nAbstract: \n“Our industry’s innovation to successfully frac and produce from shale\, the source rock for hydrocarbons\, has dramatically changed global energy access and geopolitical balances. The North American shale industry has relentlessly pushed for a lower cost to bring a barrel of oil ($/bbl) or a cubic foot of natural gas ($/scf) to the surface. This reduction has greatly benefitted world energy consumers. \nThe dramatic reduction in this cost ratio is sourced in two metrics. First\, cost of drilling and completion has been cut in about half for shale wells over the last decade through efficiency gains and innovations in workflow. Second\, well production has roughly doubled through a focus to increase both the extent and intensity of the created hydraulic fracture system. \nThis North American track record of innovation\, operational learnings and engineering optimization contains lessons learned for other shale basins around the world. One idea members will take away from this presentation is that our industry is capable of wide-ranging and rapid innovation when free market forces are unleashed to produce the cheapest barrel possible. \nBiography: \nDr. Leen Weijers is VP of Engineering at Liberty Oilfield Services and served as its Business Manager at Liberty’s founding. Leen worked at Pinnacle Technologies from 1995 to 2011\, where he oversaw development of a commercial fracture growth simulator\, FracproPT. Leen has authored dozens of publications\, and contributed a chapter to the recent SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Monograph. Leen completed his doctoral research at the Faculty of Mining and Petroleum Engineering at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. \n  \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:October General Meeting: Fractional Dimension Rate Transient Analysis
DESCRIPTION:  \nFractional Dimension Rate Transient Analysis (FD-RTA): A Key to\nUnconventional Wells and Complex Fracture Networks\nJorge A Acuña\nJ Acuna Consulting\, LLC. \nAbstract:\nUnconventional wells show features that make them very difficult to characterize. One of them is the “transitional” flow regime that lasts months to years and is different from known flow regimes such as linear or boundary dominated flow. Fractional Dimension RTA (FD-RTA) is based on work on fractals and fractional dimension systems from the late 80’s and early 90’s. These principles were significantly expanded with innovative elements\, rigorous solutions\, modeling techniques\, and adapted to the geometry of unconventional wells. The result is FD-RTA\, a new technique to analyze and understand fracture networks ranging from complex ones with rock fragments of many different sizes to simple ones with equally spaced fractures. This lecture explains the evolution of these ideas and the power of the fractional dimension approach to explain “transitional” flow regimes as the result of fracture complexity. In this new approach\, known flow regimes such as radial or linear flow are only special cases of a single general transient solution. The approach can be easily converted to a numerical model and explains several previously unexplained features\, such as rapidly increasing gas-oil-ratio\, apparent fracture closure with time\, etc. The power of FD-RTA is demonstrated by applying it to parent-child well interference. I would like the members to take away the idea that basic methods for pressure and rate transient analysis can explain previously unexplained features of unconventional well behavior but only when the correct model for fracture geometry is considered. \nBiography:\nDr. Jorge Acuna graduated from USC in 1993\, where he worked on transient behavior of fractal networks of fractures. He joined Chevron (then Unocal) in 1996. He became a leading expert in geothermal modeling and reservoir engineering. He started work in unconventional pressure and rate transient analysis in 2012 and developed Fractional Dimension RTA between 2016 and 2020. The method was published and implemented in commercial software. He retired from Chevron in 2022 to start his own consulting firm J. Acuna Consulting. He has authored more than 30 papers\, regularly reviews SPE papers and has participated as session chair in SPE conferences. \n  \nRegister Here \n

SUMMARY:SPE YP Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:SPE YP is hosting a lunch and learn on November 7th! Lunch will be sponsored by ChampionX and the venue will be sponsored by Liberty Energy! \nAbstract: \nAutomation has been used for many years now as a means for oil and gas operators to optimize sucker rod pump wells. Traditional automation for rod pump wells involved operating the well at a fixed speed and idling the well based on a preprogramed time (time clocks) or fillage (pump off control). However\, utilizing a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)is a more sophisticated method to allow operators to increase their runtime by detecting when there is less fluid to produce and slowing the unit down\, accordingly. Although utilizing a VFD can provide significant improvements in production and failure reduction\, in some cases operators are not able to realize the full advantage of their rod pump wells with VFDs because the VFD setpoints are not optimized. Optimizing VFD setpoints is not necessarily challenging\, but in many cases requires many iterations of user intervention which takes time\, and with the ever-changing nature of some reservoirs\, that job may never be complete for a given well. However\, utilizing a host software with algorithms developed by industry experts\, VFD setpoint optimization can be done autonomously. Using domain-specific algorithms\, the host software can detect deficiencies in VFD operations and iterate through setpoint changes to determine the optimal setpoints. Utilizing host software\, the algorithms can constantly check to make sure that the setpoints are keeping the well running optimally\, even when reservoir conditions change. By identifying issues like excessive cycling\, lost production\, unnecessary speed changes\, and poor pump fillage\, the algorithms implement changes that improve the performance of the well and help operators leverage the full capabilities of their VFD. \nAbout our Speaker: \nIan has an undergraduate degree in petroleum engineering and a master’s degree in mechanical engineering. He joined the Theta/ChampionX team (formerly Dover and then Apergy before ChampionX) back in 2016 as an artificial lift engineer. He also was the support team manager and product line manager before starting a new role managing the customer success team. \n  \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:November General Meeting: Utah Forge - Seeing is Believing with Advanced Tracer Interpretation
DESCRIPTION:  \nUtah FORGE – Seeing is Believing \nwith Advanced Tracer Interpretation\n \nChristopher N. Fredd\, Olaf Huseby\, Sven K. Hartvig\, Partho Giri \nResman Energy Technology \n  \nThe Utah FORGE project relies on multistage hydraulic fracturing to create flow connections between injection and production wells for renewable Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) applications.  Sponsored by the Department of Energy\, this test laboratory has been used to evaluate the impact of completion and stimulation design changes\, including the number of clusters per stage\, fracturing fluid type\, and fracturing methodology.  Understanding and characterizing the impact of these design changes on the fracture connections is key to optimizing enthalpy output from the system.  \nThis field case study presents insights gained from novel tracer interpretation at Utah FORGE. Unique chemical tracers were injected during each of the 8 fracturing stages in an EGS injection well\, with additional tracer pulses injected at different times during one of the stages. Tracer responses were established from samples collected both from the injection well during flowback and the production well during a circulation test.  Tracer interpretation provided quantitative PLTs for both wells\, characterized the fracture connections (fracture driven interactions)\, characterized the fracture flow paths (e.g.\, fracture complexity)\, and estimated the fracture circulation volume and efficiency.  These interpretations were compared with other measurements\, including microseismic monitoring\, fiber optic strain rate\, and mechanical PLT logs.  The results demonstrate that advance tracer interpretations offer a direct measure of flow paths not seen by other techniques and reveal the impact of the various design variables\, such as a significant dependance on the number of clusters per stage\, cluster runaway\, and fracturing issues.  \nThe novel tracer interpretation methodology is directly applicable to unconventional assets. \n  \n \nChris Fredd serves as the Stimulation Mapping Technical Director for RESMAN Energy Technology.  He has more than 25 years of experience in the energy sector and is a subject matter expert in stimulation\, completions\, and technology integration.  Chris has a unique techno-commercial background and a proven track record of delivering leading technologies and practical solutions.  He previously held a variety of senior technology leadership positions with SLB including Technology Center Director and Global Business Development Manager.  Chris earned a Ph.D. degree in chemical engineering from the University of Michigan and holds more than 30 granted patents and 40 publications. \n  \nRegister Here \n

SUMMARY:December General Meeting: Rockies Resource Rumble
DESCRIPTION:Rockies Resource Rumble: Using Machine Learning to Determine if the DJ Can Compete with the Venerable Williston or the Upstart PRB\nAs consolidation reshapes the landscape and E&Ps gear up for sustained operations\, a pressing question arises: “Which Rockies operators and regions are best poised to thrive over the next decade?” In this analysis\, we delve into key factors like inter-basin rock quality variations\, half-cycle benchmarking\, and operator rankings. Leveraging Novi’s proprietary machine learning tools\, we aim to uncover the value of remaining inventory in each basin and identify the operators best positioned to capitalize on it. \n  \nPresenter: Brandon Myers (Head of Research at Novi Lab) \n \nBio \n  \nBrandon’s skillset sits at the intersection of data science\, energy finance\, and petrophysics. His career journey began in 2015 at a micro-cap E&P startup in Calgary\, Alberta\, where they were involved in asset acquisition efforts\, notably pursuing the Harmattan East Viking field. \nFrom there\, he transitioned to Houston\, Texas\, and joined Wood Mackenzie\, where he played a vital role in integrating petrophysical and geological insights into economic analyses. Over five years\, Brandon gained extensive experience covering every unconventional play across North America. Departing from Wood Mackenzie in 2022\, Brandon joined the venerable Peters & Co. as an in-house subject matter expert\, providing insights into U.S. unconventional plays and emerging technologies like lithium brines\, helium exploration\, hydrogen\, and renewables. \nNow\, as Head of Research at Novi\, Brandon leads the development of a machine learning-centric research platform to provide the upstream industry with cutting edge\, data-driven insights. \nRegister Here\n
