SUMMARY:SPE Denver Business Development Happy Hour: May 2026
DESCRIPTION:About the Session \n\n\nJoin us for our section’s second 2026 Business Development Happy Hour\, featuring a panel discussion moderated by Zack Warren on “Asset-Backed Securities for E&P Financing: Fad\, or the Future?”. Industry leaders Mitch Ayer\, Brian Lanier\, Anthony Odem\, and Hendrick Schroeder will share insights on the recent explosion in the use of Asset-Backed Securities for E&P financing. Several billion dollars have been raised using this method in the last couple of years\, upending the market for O&G assets. Each of our panelists has been involved in multiple of these transactions. Following up on the successful panel we held in March\, come for an honest discussion of the impact of the ABS market and what to look forward to in the future. \n\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:SPE Denver General Meeting: May 2026
DESCRIPTION:Description\n\nHost: Society of Petroleum Engineers\, Denver Section \nEvent: May 2026 General Meeting \nTime: Wednesday May 13th 11:30 am – 1 pm \nLocation: Rock Bottom Brewery (Mile High Pool Bar Room) 1001 16th St Mall Unit A-100\, \nDenver\, CO 80265 \nSponsor: Darkvision \nGeneral Meeting Category: Completions \nSpeaker: Adam McQueen\, Sales Engineer\, Darkvision \nTitle: From Perforations to Pads: A Holistic Approach to Frac Optimization \n  \n  \nAbstract: \nDarkVision has now imaged over half a million perforations across hundreds of operators \nworldwide. What began as individual well diagnostics has grown into an aggregate dataset that \nreveals how the industry executes completions at scale — and what gets missed when wells are \nanalyzed in isolation. \nThis presentation shares findings at two levels. At the well level\, six operational KPIs — cluster \nand plug depth control\, phase orientation accuracy\, perforated collar rates\, plug performance\, \nand shot size variability — show how significantly performance varies from crew to crew and \noperator to operator\, and where the gap between design intent and downhole reality is costing \nthe most. At the pad level\, integrating intra- and post-frac data across multi-well programs \nexposes inter-well interactions and formation-driven variability that never appear in single-well \nreports. A six-well case study from Reagan County\, Texas brings both threads together. \n  \n  \nBio: \nAdam McQueen grew up in the oil industry\, spending his childhood mostly in Houston and \nScotland. With a chemical engineering degree from Georgia Tech\, he spent nearly 15 years in \nthe pressure pumping world\, working nearly every unconventional basin in the lower 48. After \nspending over three years as an engineer for DynaEnergetics and Advanced Upstream\, he \njoined DarkVision in early 2024. \nAdam brings his unique fracturing\, perforating\, and completion sleeve expertise to the world’s \nmost advanced downhole imaging and measurement technology. He works directly with \noperators to turn high-resolution downhole data into actionable completion and well integrity \ndecisions. He is based in Denver\, Colorado with his wife and two kids. In his free time\, he loves \nto travel and his been to over 55 countries \n\n  \n  \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:SPE YP Lunch & Learn: May 2026
DESCRIPTION:Description\n  \n\n1. Title: \nReviewing proppant and its interaction with hydraulic fracturing fluids. \n\n  \n\n2. Objective: \nAn evaluation of the use of locally sourced proppant and the potential for negative impacts with chemistries present in frac fluid. \n\n  \n  \n\n3. Results\, Observations\, Conclusions: \nFluids used in hydraulic fracturing of unconventional resources often contain a complex mixture of chemistries providing a variety of functions including friction reduction\, mineral scale inhibition\, microbial control\, surfactants\, etc. These chemical additives are often chosen after stringent performance and compatibility testing in the laboratory. \nAlternately\, proppant is traditionally selected based on its physical properties and function or more commonly in the current environment simply based on cost and regional availability. Proppant is conventionally viewed only as a material\, but this fails to address its compatibility with the complex mixture of chemical additives present in fracturing fluids. Cost saving measures in proppant extraction and processing\, such as eliminating the final drying step\, can leave behind unforeseen or undesired residual chemicals. This issue highlights the need for more comprehensive testing \nHerein we explore the effects of using locally sourced proppant\, the impact of the wet vs dry proppant on frac chemicals and demonstrate that traditional laboratory testing of water and FR via friction flow loop and rheology does not adequately evaluate the behavior of the product in the presence of these proppants. These negative behaviors may include swelling and/or coagulation of the proppant in the presence of water as well as co-precipitation with other chemicals present in the frac fluid. In field studies this behavior has resulted in increases treating pressure during the frac. Additionally\, we review different techniques used by Select Chemistry to counter the negative impacts to improve or restore performance on the pad. \n\n  \n  \nRegister Here
