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
