SUMMARY:General Meeting - Making More Informed Business Decisions Through Rate Transient Analysis in Unconventionals
DESCRIPTION:  \nMaking More Informed Business Decisions Through Rate Transient Analysis in Unconventionals \n  \nAbstract: The benefits of Rate Transient Analysis (RTA) for production forecasting and reservoir characterization are generally well understood. However\, the utility for RTA beyond these common practices goes frequently unrecognized. By itself\, RTA can be used to identify costly pitfalls with drilling decisions\, rigorously normalize well and reservoir production attributes\, and diagnose wells with uplift potential. As the cornerstone of an integrated reservoir study\, RTA can further be applied to reduce reservoir description uncertainty\, optimize well landing zone\, and validate petrophysical properties derived from log analysis. In an era that has asset teams migrating from physics-based to data-driven development planning workflows\, it is important to remember the value that well performance analysis and modeling techniques serve. This presentation will feature RTA solving several different objective functions\, illustrated through cases studies. Attendees to this talk will exit with a better understanding of how RTA can be used as a practical tool for well and reservoir evaluations; providing auditable insights with high return-on-investment.  \n  \nBio: John is the President and Co-Founder of SAGA Wisdom; a tech start-up focused on digitally transforming education for energy industry professionals. He has a bachelors degree in mining engineering from Queen’s University and a masters degree in chemical engineering from the University of Calgary.  Over the past 15 years\, he is better known as a reservoir engineer and instructor of Rate Transient Analysis (RTA) specializing in unconventional reservoirs. He has analyzed production data from thousands of wells\, spanning most major tight and ultra-tight plays in the U.S.\, Canada\, and Argentina. He has authored or co-authored 20 SPE papers\, primarily focused on production forecasting\, stimulation effectiveness evaluation\, well spacing and completions optimization and diagnosing untapped well performance potential. From 2017 to 2019 he was Chair of the SPE Reservoir Evaluation and Production Optimization Special Interest Group in Calgary and in 2019 he received the SPE Calgary Section Service Award and the Canadian Regional Service Award for his contributions to the society. \n  \nRegistration: Click HERE\nUPDATE (Oct 23): Due to unexpected water leak issue at our event venue\, we were forced to host the event in a difference place for October GM only. For the inconveniences this might have caused\, attendees from this month will receive a 15$ credit for November GM. \nNew Venue:\nRepublic Plaza\, 370 17th St 40th Floor\, Denver\, CO 80202\nOur sincere gratitude to Ovintiv for providing us with a venue with such short notice \n

SUMMARY:October Technical Happy Hour: Multi-Basin Case Study: Remediating Damage from Fracture Driven Interactions Utilizing a Rigless Chemical Process and a Bit More
DESCRIPTION:Host:  Society of Petroleum Engineers\, Denver Section \nEvent:  October 2023 Technical Happy Hour​ \nTime:  October 12th\, 4-6 (HH begins at 4\, Talk at 430\, Social until 6) \nLocation: Ovintiv 40th Floor\, 370 17th St\, Denver\, CO 80202 \nSponsor: Kairos Energy Services \nStudy Group Category:  Production \nSpeaker: Michael Lantz\, Co-founder and CEO at Kairos Energy Services \nTitle:  Multi-Basin Case Study:  Remediating Damage from Fracture Driven Interactions Utilizing a Rigless Chemical Process and a Bit More \nAbstract: \nThe development of US unconventional wells has reached the point where most new completions risk interactions with existing parent wells.  Fracture driven interactions between child and parent wells result in a wide variation of production impacts but in many cases\, production can be negatively affected and cannot be solely attributed to stolen reserves from the child well.  Numerous damage mechanisms are identified with the two most dominant mechanisms being capillary phase trapping and fracture conductivity damage from FR-iron gels.   \nMultiple surfactant-nanoparticles chemistry was studied to reduce capillary pressure across multiple unconventional basins.  A new chemistry was developed that significantly reduced the required amount of citric acid to remediate FR-iron gel damage.  The chemistry was integrated into a novel rigless process that utilizes a diversion process combined with a specific volumetric design methodology to improve fluid distribution along lateral and into the propped fracture network and fracture-matrix interface.  Case studies across two different basins are described\, yielding 2-10x increases in hydrocarbon production and paybacks in less than 4 months.  \nThis process is being commercially scaled and is being trialed on frac hit wells in other basins.  This technique allows the industry to reassess damage from frac hits and potentially recover reserves that were previously thought unrecoverable.   \nThis process is being applied to wells that are underperforming as a restimulation technique and a case study from the DJ Basin and Anadarko Basin will be reviewed.   \nBio: \nMichael Lantz is the co-founder and CEO of Kairos Energy Services. Lantz has over 15 years of experience in maximizing hydrocarbon recovery from conventional and unconventional reservoirs. This includes the design and application of EOR technologies\, stimulation fluids\, oilfield chemistry\, and remedial processes. He holds a BSc in Chemical Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines and a MSc in Energy Management from the University of Colorado. \nRegistration Link

SUMMARY:Technical Happy Hour: Adam Block - Project Phantom - Integrating Physics With Analytics to Optimize Well Performance
DESCRIPTION:  \nWhen: \nSeptember 26\, 2023 \n\n4:00 PM Happy Hour Starts\n4:30 PM Technical Talk followed by social until 6:00 PM\n\n  \nSpeaker: \nAdam Block\, P.E. Reservoir Engineer\, Ovintiv \n  \nTitle: \nProject Phantom – Integrating Physics With Analytics to Optimize Well Performance \n  \nAbstract: \nData-driven statistical models and physics-based simulations are both regularly applied to predict unconventional well performance. This project set out to integrate generalized ResFrac simulations with Ovintiv’s multivariate regression model to improve the predictivity of future well performance. Through the creation of a new ensemble model\, Project Phantom created a tool to better predict oil production in the Midland Basin than either multivariate regression or simulation could independently. \n  \nSpeaker Bio: \nThe Project Phantom team consisted of Mark McMclure\, Charles Kang\, Kerstan Wallace\, Cameron Cross\, Claudia Molina\, and Adam Block. Adam will be sharing results from the project on the team’s behalf. A native of Cheyenne\, Wyoming\, Adam received B.S. degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Energy Systems Engineering from the University of Wyoming in 2017\, and he is currently pursuing an MBA from the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business. Adam has experience in production\, facilities\, drilling\, development\, and reservoir engineering with a more recent focus on data science. \n  \nRegistration Link: Here

SUMMARY:General Meeting: Matt Paradeis - Assessing the Impact of Oriented Perforations and Frac Plug Performance in DJ Basin: A Case Study from Chevron Leveraging DarkVision Technology
DESCRIPTION:Assessing the Impact of Oriented Perforations and Frac Plug Performance in DJ Basin: A Case Study from Chevron Leveraging DarkVision Technology \nChevron Rockies Business Unit began an effort in late-2022 to evaluate the effectiveness of its perforation design using modern\, solid-state acoustic imaging technology. This evaluation uses DarkVision Technologies’ imaging tools deployed on coiled tubing after hydraulic fracturing\, between well cleanout and running production tubing. An initial study was designed with three wells in the DJ Basin of northeastern Colorado using three different perforation schemes of various orientation. All were approximately 10\,000’ laterals with dissolvable frac plugs for stage isolation.   \nThe three-well study revealed eye opening information regarding the frac plugs performance\, both during the initial setting and during pressure pumping. Furthermore\, the expected downstream impacts resulting from these findings were also observed and analyzed. This case of study highlights the key findings of the completed study\, the mitigation strategy implemented\, and the results obtained from such implementation. \n  \n \nKeynote speaker: \nMatt Paradeis is senior completions engineer work for Chevron based in Denver\, and primarily focusing on the DJ Basin. After graduating from Missouri University of Science & Technology with a degree in petroleum engineering\, he began his career in Houston with Chevron in 2012 working as a rock mechanics specialist focusing on near-wellbore and reservoir scale geomechanics. He’s spent 8 years working deepwater assets in the Gulf of Mexico including 3.5 years as a field engineer offshore executing completions and drilling operations. He also has experience as a deepwater drilling engineer\, project engineer for a 20\,000psi mobile offshore drilling unit and process safety engineer. He joined the Chevron Rockies Business Unit in July 2022. \n  \nEvent Registration Link: Click HERE\nJack England Pass Registration Link: Click HERE\nGeneral Meeting Group Ticket Registration Link: Click HERE\n \nGOLD Sponsor: DarkVision

SUMMARY:SPE Workshop: Refracturing : A Proven Strategy to Maximize Economic Recovery
DESCRIPTION:Refracturing creates highly attractive opportunities to use existing wellbores for additional hydrocarbon recovery without having to drill a new well\, reducing environmental impact. Within a given field\, the completion techniques typically evolve leaving many wells with stranded volumes of commercial hydrocarbons. Re-entry and re-stimulation is a proven approach to economically recover those previously stranded resources. \n  \nRefracturing parent wells has also become a valuable option for mitigating the negative impacts of fracturing interaction from infill wells or child wells leading many operators to co-develop refracturing of projects alongside new drill activity. Potential improved performance of new drill wells\, protection of existing parent wellbores\, ESG synergies\, and capital efficiencies are among the reasons that some operators have adopted this strategy. \n\nTopics to be covered:  \n\nCandidate ranking and refracturing program management\nCo-development of refracs with new drill wells\, and management of fracture driven interactions\nDeployment techniques and intervention requirements \nZonal isolation and chemical/mechanical diversion \nRefracture stimulation design and modeling \nDiagnostics and surveillance \nFuture/Emerging Technologies\nSuccesses/Failures and lessons learned\n\n\nVENUE \n📍 Grand Hyatt Denver\n1750 Welton St\nDenver\, CO 80202 USA \nSPE CONTACT\n\nWorkshop/Sponsorship Information \nAlyssa Moreno\n✉ | Email Alyssa \n\n\nRegistration \n✉ | Registration@spe.org \n\n

SUMMARY:General Meeting - Stuart Scott - Unconventional Enhanced Oil Recovery; A Bakken Case Study
DESCRIPTION:Host:  Society of Petroleum Engineers\, Denver Section \n  \nEvent:  May 17\, 2023 General Meeting (Breakfast) \n  \nTime:  May 17\, 2023 7:00am-8:30am \n  \nSpeakers:  \nStuart L Scott\, Co-Founder and Advisor (EOR ETC LLC)    \nDavid S Schechter\, George and Joan Voneiff Professor of Petroleum Engineering (Texas A&M University)\, Technical Advisor and member of the Board of Directors (EOR ETC LLC)    \n  \nTitle:  New Gas-Water Co-Injection Process Provides Solution for EOR in Unconventionals \n  \nPresentation Abstract: \nA new Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) process\, termed “Rapid-Switched\, Stacked-Slugs (RSSS)”\, has been developed and field tested. This process dramatically reduces surface injection pressures and compression costs/emissions for Huff & Puff EOR. Low pressure gas injection is made possible via a patent-pending process that drops surface injection pressure in the range of 100-1\,300 psig\, thereby eliminating the need for large surface compressors. While surface pressure is reduced\, the hydrostatic weight of the liquid\, which is injected as precisely manufactured liquid slugs\, allows the process to create pressures above the Minimum Miscibility Pressure (MMP) in the reservoir. In addition\, surfactant designed to alter wettability is delivered via the slugs of water. Thus\, the recovery mechanism is not only due to multi-contact miscibility\, but also surfactant assisted spontaneous imbibition (SASI) as a result of wettability alteration. Uniquely\, this process can be delivered as a leased service\, using a modular\, selfcontainedsurface system that can be quickly installed. The first pilot of this new process was executed in the Bakken formation. The single injection cycle reached a bottomhole pressure of 4\,600 psig\, which was significantly greater than the approx. 2\,450 psig MMP; a first for an EOR process in the Bakken. Over 46 MMscf of rich gas was co-injected along with 40\,000 bbl of fresh water with surfactant. The pilot also demonstrated the ability of co-injection to reduce gas mobility in the reservoir and prevent gas breakthrough in adjacent wells. The RSSS process resulted in approximately 10\,000 barrels of incremental EOR recovery over a 1-year period for the pad\, which translates into an impressive Gas Utilization Factor (GUF) of less than 5 Mscf/bbl EOR\, a significant improvement when compared with most gas injection projects. While only one injection cycle was conducted in the pilot\, this process is best applied in a roundrobin fashion in a pad of 4-6 wells with each well experiencing multiple injection cycle. \n  \nSpeaker Biographies: \nDr. Stuart L.

SUMMARY:Technical Happy Hour: Egor Dontsov - Optimization of Perforation Phasing for Improving Uniformity of Proppant Distribution between Clusters
DESCRIPTION:Host:  Society of Petroleum Engineers\, Denver Section \nEvent:  April 25th\, 2023 Technical Happy Hour​ \nTime:  April 25th\, 4-6 (HH begins at 4\, Talk at 430\, Social until 6) \nLocation: DERL \nSponsor: ResFrac \nStudy Group Category:  Completion \nSpeaker: Dr. Egor Dontsov\, Chief Scientist at ResFrac Corporation \nTitle: Optimization of perforation phasing for improving uniformity of proppant distribution between clusters \nAbstract: \nLimited entry technique is often employed to achieve uniform flow distribution between perforation clusters during hydraulic fracturing treatment. However\, the proppant distribution between clusters will not necessarily be uniform\, even if the slurry distribution is uniform. There are two mechanisms that contribute to the non-uniform proppant distribution. The first one is related to particle setting in the wellbore. As the average slurry velocity reduces from one cluster to another\, the ability of flow to suspend particles reduces. This introduces a bias in proppant concentration\, so that there is more proppant at the bottom of the wellbore. As a result\, perforations located at the bottom of the well receive more proppant than their counterparts located at the top. The second mechanism is also related to the contrast of particle and fluid densities. Slurry needs to make a sharp turn in order to enter the perforation\, and in particular itneeds to slow down in the horizontal direction. Due to higher mass density\, particles are unable to completely stop before entering the perforation and\, consequently\, some of them miss the perforation. This mechanism always reduces the amount of particles that enter the perforation\, but the degree of reduction depends on problem parameters. In view of these mechanisms\, the presentation focuses on the degree of uniformity of proppant placement based on a recently developed proppant wellbore dynamics model. A field scale case consisting of 13 perforation clusters is considered. Three perforation designs are compared: original with 3 perforations phased 120 degrees\, the case in which orientation of each individual perforation is optimized\, and the case when all perforations have the same orientation and its value is optimized. The goal of the aforementioned optimization procedure is to achieve a more uniform proppant distribution. Results are presented in the context of uncertainty of perforation diameter and phasing. It is found that the optimal perforation phasing leads to a significantly more uniform proppant distribution between perforations. The uncertainty of perforation phasing and diameter introduces a certain level of variation to the results\, but this level is noticeably smaller compared to the improvement achieved by using the optimal perforation orientation. \nBio: \nDr. Egor Dontsov currently works at ResFrac Corporation\, where he focuses predominantly on simulator development. In particular\, he recently improved hydraulic fracture propagation logic\, while currently working on the problem related to dynamics of proppant in a wellbore. Previously\, Egor worked at W. D. Von Gonten Laboratories and as an Assistant Professor at the University of Houston. He has over 50 peer-reviewed journal publications and over 20 conference papers\, most of which are related to hydraulic fracture modeling and proppant transport. \nRegister: HERE
