SUMMARY:December GM: Optimizing Stage Lengths by Leveraging Fracture Interference
DESCRIPTION:Optimizing Stage Lengths by Leveraging Fracture Interference: \n  \nObjectives/Scope: This paper covers a case study in the Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basin that reveals stage lengths can be dynamically varied when wells are tightly spaced to optimize pad drainage and completion cost in homogeneous rock strata. Alternating stage designs in offset wells can support increased stage lengths up to 6x standard (exceeding 1\,000 ft) and still treat and produce as uniformly as smaller stages\, due to the cooperative effect of the overlapping fracture network created by neighboring infill wells. These findings were corroborated by fiber optic data acquired during frac (cross-well strain) and post-flowback production monitoring and interference testing. We also observed Formations within damage zones altered from faults can affect drainage results. \nMethods\, Procedures\, Process: Differing stage lengths (X\, 2X\, 3X and 6X) were trialed in three wells in a six well section.  Fiber optic diagnostics were acquired during frac for cross-well strain evaluation and 60 days post-flowback for production monitoring and interference testing. Locations and extent of fracture interactions were observed during the fracturing process\, and later compared to the production and interference testing results after flowback. \nResults\, Observations\, Conclusions: The post-completion diagnostics corroborated the during frac cross-well strain data. Interference testing reveals communication as well as unique geological features in the areas identified by the cross-well strain data. There is little if any difference in cross-well strain or production behavior of standard-length X stages offset by X stage lengths and X offset by 2X or 3X stage lengths. Performance of the 3X and 6X stages is nearly identical to the X stage lengths\, in both production and interference from a uniformity and production volume. \nNovel/Additive Information: When wells are known to interfere or communicate\, completion designs can be modified dynamically to work with overlapping stage designs\, optimizing completion costs without sacrificing treatment uniformity nor production. Stage lengths of offset wells\, depending on the play and geologic structure\, may be dramatically larger than previously thought when offset against smaller stages\, while still allowing for sufficient reservoir access and drainage\, leading to reduced pad development time. \n  \n Registration: Click HERE \n  \nBIO: \n  \n \n  \n  \nEvan Rodgers \nProduction Engineer at Chevron Rockies (former Reservoir Engineer at PDC Energy). \n  \nEvan Rodgers is a Petroleum Engineer from the Colorado School of Mines\, class of 2012\, currently working as a Production Engineer for Chevron in their Rockies business unit within the DJ basin. He has held additional roles outside of Chevron within Reservoir and Completions engineering in various basins including the Utica Shale\, Piceance\, and DJ basin. He has been a part of both exploration and developmental teams along with projects varying from single well de-liquification to basin-wide reservoir delineation. His interest gravitates towards acknowledging how much we do not fully understand\, especially around the technical aspects we think we do. He uses this approach to set his mindset while designing\, analyzing\, or proposing a field experiment.

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.

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
