SUMMARY:SPE Denver General Meeting: September 2025
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nPressure 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. \nThis lecture explores pressure drawdown management in shale reservoirs across all fluid types. In addition\, particular focus will be placed on condensates as the most complex and least forgiving fluid system\, where production efficiency can be highly sensitive to drawdown strategy. Insights from Permian\, Eagle Ford\, Vaca Muerta\, and Duvernay case studies highlight that producing condensate gas ratio (CGR) consistently tracks flowing bottomhole pressure and that aggressive drawdowns accelerate condensate loss even above the saturation point. \nField trials and reservoir simulations highlight that\, under the right reservoir conditions\, controlled drawdowns can preserve fracture conductivity\, stabilize liquid yield\, and improve condensate recovery by up to 50 percent in the first three years\, while also reducing facility requirements and improving overall development efficiency. \nThe discussion provides a framework to evaluate drawdown strategies through the lenses of reservoir physics\, economic outcomes\, and operational performance\, establishing a foundation for optimized shale developments and stronger reservoir stewardship. \nSpeaker’s Bio: \nYalda Barzin is a Reservoir Engineering Advisor at ExxonMobil\, where she focuses on strategic development and technical quality assurance within the unconventional assets’ portfolio. \nWith over 20 years of experience in both conventional and unconventional reservoirs\, she has worked with leading energy companies across North and South America and Europe. She is an industry-recognized authority in the field of Rate Transient Analysis (RTA) and well performance evaluation. Her technical leadership in translating complex subsurface problems into practical production strategies\, particularly in complex fluid systems\, has shaped the best practices that continue to influence production from major unconventional plays. \nShe has authored more than 20 technical papers\, including two SPE award-winning publications. Her work spans shale development\, RTA\, phase behavior\, conventional and unconventional EOR\, naturally fractured reservoirs\, gas condensate systems\, and drawdown management. Alongside her publications\, she is a multilingual educator who has taught technical workshops and training courses worldwide. \nYalda holds a PhD in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Calgary and an MSc from IFP School in France. Outside the energy industry\, Yalda is also an accomplished pianist and composer. \n  \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:SPE Denver Technical Happy Hour - October 2025
DESCRIPTION:Host: Society of Petroleum Engineers\, Denver SectionEvent: October 2025 Technical Happy HourTime: October 16th\, 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: CompletionsSpeaker: Jessica Iriarte\, General Completions Manager\, Corva \nTitle: Enhancing Operational Awareness in Haynesville Operations with Advanced Stage-Categorization Models \n  \nAbstract: \n  \nThis study presents an AI-driven approach to stage categorization for hydraulic\nfracturing operations\, addressing deviations from pumping designs that result in\nincreased costs\, reduced efficiency\, and operational unpredictability. The dataset\nincludes 1\,595 stages\, of which 970 exhibited at least one issue such as mid-stage\nshutdowns\, screen outs\, and rate reductions. The objective is to improve\noperational decision-making by automating stage categorization\, distinguishing\nbetween surface and subsurface issues\, and lay the foundation for future\npredictive machine learning models to anticipate trouble stages. \n  \n  \nThe stage categorization model evolved through eight iterations to refine detection\nof operational issues and differentiate between surface- and subsurface-driven\nproblems. Version 1 implemented basic pressure slope algorithms\, while Version 2\nimproved accuracy with steady-rate pressure checks. Version 3 expanded\ndiagnostic capabilities by incorporating proppant and chemical concentrations.\nVersion 4 adjusted the search for specific activities like pad for ball-seat stages\,\nflush\, and pressure test. Version 5 introduced dynamic thresholds to account for\nfriction effects from varying casing sizes and stage measured depths. Version 6\noptimized the overall model\, removing factors that reduced Precision\, resulting in\nsignificantly improved performance. Version 7 improved Clean Sweep remediation\ndetection using stage activities\, such as flushes\, to determine the most accurate\nperiod to scan. Screen outs were updated based on a sensitivity analysis around\nthe required pressure per minute reading. Finally\, in Version 8 logic was added to\nconnect subsequent subsurface-related issues to one that occurred earlier in the\nstage’s progression. \n  \n  \nThe finalized stage categorization model analyzes time-series data\, including\npressure\, rate\, proppant and chemical concentration\, and wellbore design\nparameters\, capturing key variables affecting treatment behavior. It achieved 98%\naccuracy and 88% precision in identifying issues like mid-stage shutdowns and \nscreen outs. By distinguishing surface from subsurface problems\, operators can\noptimize resource allocation and treatment designs. The study also revealed\nsignificant correlations between operational challenges and geological variability\,\nhighlighting the importance of integrating rock and operational data. These\ninsights facilitate improved treatment consistency\, reduced costs\, and enhanced\ndecision-making. \n  \nBio: \n  \nJessica Iriarte is the General Manager of Completions at Corva. Jessica is a data\nscience and energy leader\, has held various leadership positions in oil and gas\,\nincluding international experience in data\, research\, and operations. Jessica is an\ninventor\, a distinguished lecturer\, and has 17 publications with SPE\, JPT\, and URTeC.\nJessica holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Petroleum Engineering from\nUniversidad del Zulia and a Master of Science degree in Petroleum Engineering from\nColorado School of Mines. \n  \nRegister Here

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Madison Hollaway\, Low Emissions And Sustainability Lead\, Liberty Energy\nTitle: Evaluating the Transition to Natural Gas-Powered Equipment in Hydraulic Fracturing: Challenges\, Benefits\, and Feasibility Analysis. \n  \nAbstract: \n  \nThe transition to natural gas as a primary fuel source in hydraulic fracturing\noperations launched in 2013 with the introduction of dual fuel engines\,\nwhich use a blend of diesel and natural gas. This transition remains\nongoing\, marked by two fundamentally different approaches to displacing\ndiesel with natural gas. Initially\, dual fuel engines emerged as the\npioneering technology for substituting diesel with natural gas on hydraulic\nfracturing jobs. These engines are still being used and improved upon\ntoday. Subsequently\, circa 2018\, companies began developing and\ndeploying 100% natural gas-powered generation systems to drive\nelectrically powered hydraulic fracturing equipment.\nHistorically\, gas powered generation has been found exclusively in\nstationary applications. Adapting this technology to a mobile package for\nhydraulic fracturing operations has been a formidable industry-wide\nchallenge. Unlike stationary setups\, mobile deployment necessitates\nconsiderations of weight\, ambient outdoor conditions\, and the reliability of\nthe natural gas supply. Prior to equipment construction\, weight\noptimization is imperative\, as off-road mobile units are subject to state-\nspecific road weight restrictions. Compliance with axle\, king pin\, and total\nweight limits is mandatory for roadworthiness. Moreover\, the lack of control\nover outdoor ambient conditions further complicates mobile deployment.\nUnlike ambient conditions\, natural gas supply is within control of the\noperator\, though it cannot be preemptively resolved like weight\nconsiderations. Post-deployment\, natural gas quality and supply often\nemerge as predominant challenges\, highlighting their significance in mobile\ngas-powered generation for hydraulic fracturing operations. \n  \n  \nThe balance of transitioning to natural gas fueled engines\, while the natural\ngas infrastructure catches up\, has been both delicate and complex. Diesel\nhas been used as a fuel source for over 70 years in the industry and thus\nhas firmly established a robust supply chain. In contrast\, the Compressed\nNatural Gas (CNG) supply chain is in the early stages of development and\nhas consistently served as a bottleneck for deploying natural gas\ntechnologies. However\, there is a prevailing belief that the inherent benefits\nof natural gas will act as a catalyst for the evolution of the CNG supply\nchain in the years to come.\nConsidering the ongoing challenges\, it is imperative to evaluate the true\nbenefits of this transition. Assessing whether the opportunity cost\noutweighs the hurdles encountered\, both presently and in the foreseeable\nfuture\, is crucial. This paper aims to address this critical question by\nleveraging empirical data collected during the initial stages of our\norganization’s natural gas transition. Through a comprehensive analysis\, we\nexamine the tangible advantages and potential drawbacks of embracing\nnatural gas technology\, providing insights into the feasibility and\nimplications of this transition for the hydraulic fracturing industry. In this\nanalysis we will focus on Tier IV Dual Fuel engines\, Gas Reciprocating\nGenerators which produce electricity to drive electric frac pumps\, and Gas\nReciprocating Engines that mechanically drive the hydraulic pump. The\nbaseline for comparison is established using Tier II Diesel engines. Each\ntechnology will be evaluated based on multiple criteria including emissions\,\ncost savings found in both fuel purchases and operating costs\, and overall\noperational considerations. Through a combination of Original Engine\nManufacturer (OEM) data and empirical data\, this paper provides valuable\ninsights into the efficacy and feasibility of transitioning to natural gas-\nburning equipment in the context of hydraulic fracturing operations. \n  \nBio: \n  \nMadison Hollaway is the Low Emissions And Sustainability Lead at Liberty\nEnergy. Madison has held a variety of positions throughout her career in the\noil and gas industry\, with experience spanning from engineering and project\nmanagement to research and development.

SUMMARY:SPE Denver General Meeting: November 2025
DESCRIPTION:General Meeting Category: Reservoir \nSpeaker: Reidar Bratvold\, Professor Emeritus\, University of Stavanger \nTitle: Persistent Bias in Probabilistic Production Forecasting and Simple Methods to Overcome It \n  \nAbstract: \n  \n  \nThe 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 ways of producing them result in persistent\, value-destroying biases. There are quick and easy ways to make accurate\, unbiased forecasts. \nIncreased awareness of uncertainty\, combined with increasingly sophisticated tools and models for quantifying it\, is causing a shift from deterministic to probabilistic production forecasting. For these forecasts to lead to better investment decisions (e.g. assessing how much it’s worth paying to reduce uncertainty\, or incorporating flexibility to manage it)\, they need to be an accurate (unbiased) representation of the uncertainty. However\, our industry has a general history of overconfidence (ranges too narrow) and\, more damaging for value-creation\, optimism (consistent over-estimation). \nA large dataset of historical probabilistic production forecasts was investigated for potential bias by comparing them with actual outcomes. They were found to be both optimistic and overconfident\, bringing into question their usefulness for decision-making and the value of the sophisticated uncertainty modeling techniques that were used to generate them. \nFortunately\, there are quick and easy methods for creating accurate probabilistic forecasts. We describe these and show that they would have produced accurate forecasts for our case study fields (they do not make use of knowing the actual outcomes!). \nFinally\, preliminary results from a similar analysis of renewables projects indicate that the same problems exist. This could significantly impact investment decisions and policy development in renewable projects by governments and companies. \n  \n  \nBio: \n  \n  \nReidar B. Bratvold is Professor (emeritus) of Decision & Data Analytics at the University of Stavanger\, where he teaches and supervises graduate students in decision and data analytics\, including artificial intelligence and machine learning\, project valuation\, portfolio analysis\, real-option valuation\, and the behavioral challenges of decision-making. Before joining academia\, Reidar spent 15 years in industry in various technical and leadership roles\, including Vice President at Landmark Graphics Corporation (a Halliburton company) in Houston; Managing Director of Smedvig Technology Software Solutions (now Roxar); Senior Scientist with IBM; and Reservoir Engineer with Statoil. He began his career offshore as a roughneck and roustabout in the North Sea. \nReidar is a frequent speaker at industry conferences and delivers in-house short courses on decision-making and economic evaluation. He is one of only four individuals to have served as a Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Distinguished Lecturer four times: \n• Uncertainty Assessment and Risk Management in Reservoir Optimization (1998–1999) \n• Would You Know a Good Decision if You Saw One? (2003–2004) \n• Creating Value from Uncertainty and Flexibility (2016–2017) \n• Persistent Bias in Probabilistic Production Forecasting and Simple Methods to Overcome It \nHe has published extensively on topics such as decision-making\, the value of information\, the application of machine learning and AI to support decisions\, Bayesian evidence learning\, stochastic reservoir modeling\, fuzzy logic\, data assimilation\, and reservoir management. He is co-author of the SPE book Making Good Decisions\, commissioned by the SPE. \nReidar was the 2017 recipient of the SPE Management & Information Award\, has served as Executive Editor for SPE Economics & Management\, and in 2024 was selected as Energy Professional of the Year by the SPE Stavanger Chapter. He is a Fellow of both the Society of Decision Professionals and the Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences\, and a Founding Member of the Friends of SDP initiative. \nHe holds a PhD in engineering and an MSc in mathematics from Stanford University and has completed executive education in business and management science at INSEAD\, MIT\, and Stanford \n  \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:SPE Denver Technical Happy Hour: December 2025
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \n  \n  \nA key challenge faced in unconventional reservoir development is well\ndensities coupled with modern completion designs to economically optimize\nresource development. Most data analytic applications use single well\nproduction and completion data to explore optimized strategies. However\,\nthe combination of different well densities and completion strategies\ncomplicate single well analytics and thus could be improved upon by using\nmulti-well\, normalized section-based data analytics. This approach can help\nidentify what changes can be made to the combination of wells per section\nand completion metrics to optimize asset recovery or help confirm that\ncurrent strategies are working.\nIn most basins\, the State Public Land Survey System (PLSS) sections are\nthe main grid used to define each section. In the Permian\, the Texas Block\nand Survey sections are used\, whereas in the Eagle Ford\, a custom grid\nwith 1-mile by 1-mile sections are used. Total lateral length within the\nsection\, pumped proppant and fluid\, and production volumes are rolled up\nwithin each grid section and normalized by section area on a per-acre basis.\nExamples in the paper mainly use three-year cumulative oil production and\nsimple three-year payout economics as performance metric. Processed\nsection level data is then visualized in both map views and cartesian plots\,\nto draw insights on section-level performance in specific areas and then\ndetermine the best strategies to optimize asset recovery.\nThe key application of this approach is to draw insights relating to differing\ndevelopment strategies in each area. Trends of fluid treatment job sizes as a\nfunction of wells per section (WPS) can be inferred. Together\, with trends of\nsection production as well as normalized well productivity on a per-foot \nbasis as a function of WPS\, it is possible to assess which development\nstrategy might work best. The trends of section production versus WPS and\ncompletion metrics are generally much better than for single-well analytics.\nThe examples show how optimum performance and development strategy\nmay change for different unconventional basins.\nSection-based data analytics has proven to be an excellent complement to\nwell-based data analytics and physical models as it provides better data\ncorrelations for the whole “development system” compared to single-well\nanalytics. This approach is largely automated and can be used in any basin\nto gain insight into the section-level performance of a given well\ndevelopment and completion strategy. \n  \n  \nBio:\nHoward Melcher is a Subsurface Technical Advisor at Liberty Energy\, where\nhe has been a member of Liberty’s technical team for 12 years\, focusing on\ndata analytics\, formation evaluation\, and frac & reservoir modeling. Before\njoining Liberty\, he spent 6 years with U.S. Energy\, a privately held E&P\,\nworking primarily in the Appalachian Basin. He holds a Bachelor of Science in\nGeology from the University at Buffalo and has completed graduate\ncoursework at Texas A&M. \n  \n  \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:SPE Denver General Meeting: December 2025
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nOrganic Oil Recovery is a tertiary oil recovery process that only stimulates certain resident\nmicrobes that already exist in your reservoir to release residual\, bypassed and trapped oil —\nwithout chemicals\, downhole modifications\, topside changes\, or capex. By feeding the microbes\na specific targeted nutrient blend\, we activate a gene in the target microbial species to move\nthem from the water phase (hydrophilic) to the oil/water interface (hydrophobic) where they\nreduce interfacial tension and release oil left behind by conventional methods. The process is\nsimple: batch treatments using ISO tanks and temporary pumping equipment. \nBio:\nZach Broussard is Product Line Manager\, Americas\, for Hunting\, where he leads\ncommercialization of Organic Oil Recovery (OOR)\, a technology that utilizes indigenous\nmicrobes to increase oil recovery. Prior to Hunting\, Zach co-founded Gold H2 (now Eclipse\nEnergy) and served as CTO\, advancing microbial pathways for in-situ hydrogen generation.\nBefore that\, he held roles at ChampionX focused on mitigating microbiologically influenced\ncorrosion in upstream oilfield applications\, bridging lab development with field\nimplementation. He has overseen multi-disciplinary teams across R&D\, pilot design\, and\nreservoir diagnostics\, integrating DNA sequencing\, microbial ecology\, and production analytics\nwith operator workflows. \n  \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:SPE Denver General Meeting: January 2026
DESCRIPTION:Event description\n  \n\nAbstract: \n  \nThe fracturing fluids not only plays a pivotal role in near-wellbore stimulation\, influencing\nproppant transport\, and cluster efficiency\, but is critical to minimizing formation damage and\nmaximizing oil recovery. While friction reduction has traditionally guided fluid selection\, this\nstudy shifts the focus toward subsurface performance metrics that directly impact hydrocarbon\nrecovery. Ovintiv tested over fifteen friction reducer (FR) products in both fresh and produced\nwater using a comprehensive methodology\, including flow loop\, regain conductivity\,\nspontaneous imbibition\, and emulsion tests\, with actual core samples with the main focus on\nrecovery and fluid compatibility.\nThe results highlight the importance of selecting fracture fluids based on their overall impact on\nformation integrity and hydrocarbon mobilization for EOR\, rather than solely on their surface\nperformance. The findings also underscore that not all HVFR products build viscosity effectively\,\nand that fluid viscosity significantly affects cluster formation and proppant distribution. A shift\nin fracture fluid selection criteria is necessary to optimize long-term well productivity by\nbalancing friction reduction with cluster efficiency\, proppant transport\, formation compatibility\nand oil recovery efficiency. \n  \n  \nBio: \n  \nManuel Diaz is a Senior Completions Engineer with over 25 years of experience in the oil and\ngas industry\, including the last 11 years at Ovintiv. Specializing in hydraulic fracturing and well\ncompletions\, Manuel has led innovative projects across the TMS\, Permian\, and the Anadarko\nbasins\, consistently delivering operational excellence and capital efficiency. He is recognized for\nhis rigorous approach to frac design\, advancing cluster efficiency\, driven innovations in frac fluid\nselection\, and implementing cutting-edge diagnostics and technologies to enhance well \nperformance and recovery. Manuel’s leadership in multi-well pad operations\, frac monitoring\,\nand collaborative knowledge sharing has set new benchmarks in safety\, cycle time\, and cost\nreduction. His technical expertise and commitment to continuous improvement have made him\na trusted advisor on cross-disciplinary projects to enhance well productivity and capital\nefficiency. \n\n  \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:SPE Denver General Meeting: February 2026
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\n  \nOperators 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 mitigate H₂S risk. Results showed higher oil production\, reduced water cut\, and elimination of H₂S compared to analog offsets\, delivering a step-change in well economics. The learnings provide a framework for unlocking value in Tier 3 rock across the basin. \n  \nBio: \n  \n  \nTien Do is the founder of InDZone Consulting and a completions optimization expert known for solving complex industry challenges—from fracture-driven interactions and casing deformation to H₂S prevention and Tier 2/3 development. \nRaised in a remote Vietnamese village without electricity\, Tien’s journey from humble beginnings to industry leader reflects her lifelong mission: delivering energy that is safe\, efficient\, and sustainable. After earning her Mechanical Engineering degree Summa Cum Laude\, she built a successful career at Schlumberger\, Whiting Petroleum\, and Nine Band Operating before launching InDZone in 2022—while pregnant with her third child. \nIn just three years\, InDZone has become a trusted partner to over 20 operators across North America\, delivering innovative solutions that improve well economics and operational safety. Tien also serves on the Board of the Women in Oil & Gas Association (WOGA)\, SPE Completions \nMembership & Engagement Task Force\, and mentors’ future industry leaders. \n\n  \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:SPE Denver General Meeting: March 2026
DESCRIPTION:Title: Formation-Informed Performance: Closing the Loop Between Geology\, Drilling\, and Completions. \nAuthor: Erin Britton\, Drilling Solutions Engineering Team Lead\, CORVA \nSession Overview: \nAs 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 efficiency. Bridging this gap demands a unified view of subsurface context and real-time performance data. \nThis presentation introduces a unified geosteering\, drilling\, and completions solution designed to provide a single source of truth across disciplines. Geo Insights enables teams to identify the optimal “sweet spot” within the drilling window by pairing stratigraphic context with real-time KPIs such as ROP\, MSE\, vibration\, and effective in-zone footage. Teams can remove structural bias\, reveal true drilling equivalency\, and benchmark performance with confidence. Synchronized views create a collaborative workspace that standardizes best practices and improves cross-functional decision making. \nA Canadian operator case study will highlight how integrating geoscience insights directly into drilling workflows accelerated curve-to-lateral execution by approximately 2.75 days versus offsets\, delivered ~$300\,000 in savings per well\, stabilized ROP\, reduced MSE\, and improved zone placement consistency. By closing the loop with completions data to identify stratigraphic intervals linked to troublesome stages and NPT\, Geo Insights enables faster lessons learned and improved reliability across the development program. Attendees will gain practical insight into how integrated geoscience and analytics can drive measurable performance gains and cost savings in modern drilling operations. \nBio: \nErin Britton is the Drilling Solutions Engineering Team Lead and Geoscience SME at Corva\, she is based in Denver\, Colorado. With a 16-year career spanning drilling engineering\, asset management\, operations leadership\, and consulting\, Erin has focused on integrating formation understanding with real-time performance data to reduce NPT\, improve zone placement\, and standardize best practices across development programs. Prior to Corva\, Erin held engineering and leadership roles at Anschutz Exploration Corporation\, Sundance Energy\, Liberty Resources\, Unit\, and Ovintiv (Encana)- including Director of Engineering & Operations and Senior Staff Drilling Engineer positions supporting large-scale development and optimization initiatives. Erin earned a B.S. in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Oklahoma and a Master’s in Business & Energy from the University of Tulsa. \n  \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:SPE Technical Happy Hour: March 2026
DESCRIPTION:Description\n\nSponsor: Liberty Energy \nStudy Group Category: Drilling \nSpeaker: Marc Willerth\, Technology Development Manager\, Helmerich & Payne \nTitle: Getting the Most From Your Last Mile \nAbstract: \n  \nIn recent years\, the pace and complexity of North American drilling has been rapidly\naccelerating. Four-mile step-outs and 180-degree U-turns are quickly becoming the “new\nnormal”\, along with the expectation of delivering drilling speeds of 7000ft/day or more. Lurking\nin the background is the influence of the strongest magnetic storms in over 2 decades\ndisturbing the survey tools that are used to steer these wells.\nThis presentation looks at some of the growing challenges with wellbore placement for novel\nwell designs such as how lateral spacing uncertainty grows when typical drilling and surveying\npractices are applied to extremely long laterals or horseshoe wells\, and how pace of drilling can\nexacerbate the potential impact of magnetic storms. The relative value of enhanced positional\naccuracy is considered\, estimating the increasing lost potential production from each lateral\nmile due to the uncertainty in wellbore placement. It will also discuss how spacing uncertainty\ntrends differ when drilling U-turn wells compared to traditional in-fill drilling campaigns\, along\nwith a discussion of how to properly manage anti-collision for U-turn wells. \nBio: \n  \nMarc is a Technology Development Manager at Helmerich & Payne\, overseeing a research team\nworking on wellbore positioning\, drilling simulation\, condition-based maintenance\, and\nintegrated drilling-geology solutions. He joined H&P in 2017 as part of the MagVAR acquisition\nand prior to that has worked for Scientific Drilling and SLB. He has co-authored over 25\npublications in OnePetro and several patents primarily in the drilling\, geology\, and wellbore\nplacement spaces. Marc is an active member of SPE\, currently serving on the JPT editorial \nreview board as well as being the Error Model chair for the SPE Wellbore Positioning Technical\nSection (also known as the ISCWSA). He holds a bachelor’s degrees in Chemistry and Chemical \n\n  \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:SPE Denver General Meeting April 2026
DESCRIPTION:A View of the Private US Oil and Gas Market and Potential Implications for L48 Exploration\n1. The private US oil and gas market is currently adequately capitalized but opportunity poor\n1. 25+ funded private equity-backed teams focused on capturing scaled US onshore asset\n2. Target asset profile: meaningful PDP/cashflow + remaining development drilling (inside of well control)\n3. US onshore asset divestiture market opportunity set currently insufficient to satisfy private capital demand\n2. What are the implications?\n1. Many funded teams will not be successful in capturing asset in time allowed\n2. To capture assets\, teams and private capital providers must either accept lower return (i.e. stretch on underwriting) and/or take more risk\n3. Private capital providers can take more risk in the following ways\ni.      Financial risk – take on more acquisition leverage. Capital providers already doing this.\nii.      Location/regime risk – target PDP + development assets in non-US L48 locations/regimes (e.g. Alaska\, Canada\, Argentina\, GOA). Capital providers evaluating this.\niii.      Geologic risk – step outside of well control to find more oil / take “exploration” risk . Capital providers evaluating this.\n3. Conclusion\n1. At this point it is not yet clear to what extent (or when) private capital will pivot to take exploration risk in L48\n2. A changing commodity price regime could provide the catalyst to take more risk and find more oil\n3. Long term $60 WTI strip (as of mid-October) may be insufficient to cause oil supply growth to meet demand if believe US unconventional represents the marginal bbl \nMatt Loreman BIO \nMatt has 20 years of experience in energy industry.

SUMMARY:SPE Technical Happy Hour: April 2026
DESCRIPTION:Description\n\nHost: Society of Petroleum Engineers\, Denver Section \nEvent: April 2026 Technical Happy Hour \nTime: April 23\, 4-6pm (HH begins at 4\, Talk at 430\, more Social until 6) \nLocation: Liberty Energy\, 950 17th St\, Suite 2400\, Denver\, CO 80202 \nSponsor: Novi Labs \nStudy Group Category: Data Analytics \nSpeaker: Brett Sinclair\, Research Director\, Novi Labs \nTitle: Meeting the Moment: Using Machine Learning to Assess How the Marcellus and Haynesville will\nSupply Rising Gas Demand \n  \nAbstract:\nOne of the key challenges we face when trying to analyze scenarios that rely on forecasting the\nproduction from future wells\, is how granular we get in forecasting those wells. Traditionally\,\noperators or analysts looking at very specific asset packages will have highly fine-tuned Type\nCurve Areas to hand-select analogous wells\, creating type curves by bench\, by area\, by\nparent/child designation\, and many more cuts of the data. When doing higher-level analysis –\nhow much will a basin produce over time – analysts might use high-level averages of production\nper well or per rig (or frac crew) across an entire region or basin. \nAt Novi\, we train machine learning models across dozens of features that include subsurface\ngeotechnical attributes\, wellbore and completion design\, well spacing\, and how much prior\ndepletion a future well would experience based on its drainage radius and the amount of\nresource extracted thus far. \nThis provides individual well-level production forecasts custom to each potential location that\ncan be used for extremely focused analysis or high-level macro analysis and everything in\nbetween. It also gets rid of the machine learning “black box” and explains the variation from\naverage in a well’s predicted performance due to different geological\, spacing\, completion\, or\ndepletion features. \nIn this presentation\, we will utilize Novi’s proprietary machine learning-derived inventory\nforecasts to analyze how the Marcellus and the Haynesville are each positioned to supply the\nincreased natural gas demand coming from power generation (largely from data centers) and\nLNG export terminals. How much inventory is left\, and what is the quality of that inventory? \nWhich companies are best positioned\, not only in the near term but for the foreseeable future?\nHow have activity levels responded to structural shifts in demand? \nWe will attempt to show that we don’t have to sacrifice well-level forecast accuracy for scale\,\nand that a machine learning approach also improves individual forecast accuracy while at the\nsame time saving time\, providing the analyst more scope to analyze the forecast’s impact\ninstead of in its derivation. \n  \n  \nBio:\nBrett Sinclair is a Research Director at Novi Labs\, where he focuses on applying the outputs of\nNovi’s data and machine learning analytics platform to US upstream oil and gas research. \nPrior to Novi\, Brett spent 10 years at Kimmeridge Energy in the Investment and Operations\nteams. At Kimmeridge\, Brett and his team conducted analysis and research from technical\,\noperational\, and investment perspectives\, to understand the energy landscape\, to develop and\nexplore investment theses\, to underwrite deals\, and to directly manage portfolio assets. \nPrior to Kimmeridge\, Brett worked as a Directional Driller for Baker Hughes\, drilling horizontals\nin the US Lower 48\, the Alaskan North Slope\, and Saudi Arabia. \nBrett has a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and an MBA\, both from the University\nof Oklahoma. \n  \n  \nSpeaker Photo: \n \n\n  \n  \nRegister Here
