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

SUMMARY:Technical Happy Hour​ - Dapo Adejare - Production analysis and production forecasting in unconventional reservoirs using initial production data
DESCRIPTION:Host:  Society of Petroleum Engineers\, Denver Section \nEvent:  March 21st\, 2023 Technical Happy Hour​ \nTime:  March 21st\, 4-6 (HH begins at 4\, Talk at 430\, Social until 6) \nLocation: DERL \nSponsor: Revo Testing Technologies  \nStudy Group Category:  Completion \nSpeaker: Dapo Adejare\, Reservoir Engineering Technical Advisor\, Revo Testing Technologies \nTitle:  Production analysis and production forecasting in unconventional reservoirs using initial production data \nAbstract: \nTwo examples from the SPE data repository will be used to illustrate a method for forecasting production in unconventional reservoirs using initial production data (first 1-2 months of production). \nAnalysis of hourly initial production data indicates a flow regime sequence of sub-radial flow (slope <0.4)\, followed by a 1st boundary (slope ~1) and then sublinear flow (slope > 0.5) on Rate Normalized Pressure vs. Material Balance Time plots.  These flow regime sequences are applied in a workflow to determine the fracture half-length\, permeability\, and the number of fractures which are then used in a model to forecast production. \nAdditional examples will show how this workflow is applied to evaluate completion effectiveness. \nThis presentation illustrates the significance of high frequency/high quality initial production data. The reservoir transients that indicate sub-radial flow and a unit slope preceding sublinear flow are often masked by lower resolution daily data and hourly data with measurement errors. \nBio: \nDapo Adejare is a Reservoir Engineering Technical Advisor with Revo Testing Technologies where he is helping to develop and apply new technologies for unconventional well performance evaluation. He holds a Master’s degree in Petroleum Engineering from Texas A&M University.

Perceived anthropogenic effects on climate\, have promoted the demand from worldwide socio-political and economic forces for the management and mitigation of industrial carbon emissions. The petroleum industry is well posed to have important contributions in this space\, considering the proven technical skills of the Petroleum Engineering disciplines (i.e.\, reservoir engineering\, production\, drilling\, and completions). At Mines\, in collaboration with students and other faculty\, we have developed a diverse research program that is contributing with the petroleum industry transition to net zero emissions. In this presentation\, I give a summary of our exciting research efforts that include projects on geothermal energy\, gas hydrates in flow assurance and in nature\, unconventional low permeability oil/gas reservoirs\, and more recently on geological carbon sequestration. \n  \nSpeaker Biography: \nLuis Zerpa is an Associate Professor at the Petroleum Engineering Department of the Colorado School of Mines\, and Director of the Center for Rock and Fluid Multiphysics. Luis received his degrees in Mechanical Engineering (BS and MS) from the University of Zulia (Venezuela) and PhD in Petroleum Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines. Luis previous experience working in industry includes the design of an industrial offshore chemical flooding pilot project for enhanced oil recovery. His research combines experimental and modeling evaluation of multiphysical properties of rocks\, fluids\, and their interactions with applications to petroleum reservoir engineering\, flow assurance\, geothermal\, and CCUS. \n  \nREGISTRATION – Click HERE\n  \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:February - Completions Technical Happy Hour
DESCRIPTION:  \nHost:  Society of Petroleum Engineers\, Denver Section \n  \nEvent:  Tuesday February 21st\, 2023 Technical Happy Hour \n  \nTime:  February 21st\, 2023 4-6 pm (HH at 4\, Talk at 430\, Social until 6) \n  \nLocation:  DERL \n  \nSponsor: DynaEnergetics \n  \nStudy Group Category:  Completions \n  \nSpeaker:  Adam McQueen\, Market Development Manager at DynaEnergietics \n\nTitle:  Optimization of Perforation Efficiency in the Delaware Basin Through Perforating and Innovative Perforating Charge: A Case Study \n  \nAbstract: \nThis case study looked to identify a perforation design and a perforation charge that measurably increases Perforation Efficiency (PE) and reduces PE variability from stage to stage. Achieving these goals allows for more economic fracture surface area generation as well as more informed decisions toward frac design and full field development. \nPrimarily relying on industry-standard pre-fracture Step-Down Tests (SDT) to estimate number of perforation holes open\, a variety of strategies and technologies were tested by altering perforation friction\, orientation\, entry hole diameter (EHD)\, perforations per cluster (PPC)\, and charge type. The trial was performed across multiple horizons in the Delaware Basin\, consisting of over 4\,500 stages from 193 wells across 13 horizons from the 1st Bone Spring Sand to the Wolfcamp C in Lea and Eddy Counties\, New Mexico. \nWith the legacy perforation strategy and technology\, the operator historically achieved a probability 50 (P50) using the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of 47% of perforations open pre-fracture. Utilizing eXtreme Limited Entry (XLE)\, 0 degree-oriented perforating\, larger EHD\, single perforation clusters\, and a shaped charge which increases the reservoir contact area\, the operator was able to increase the CDF P50 to 93% of perforations open pre-fracture. \nThis straightforward trial allowed the operator to meaningfully reduce the cost of operations while type curves were met or exceeded. Contributing to the success of this field trial was a clear and restricted design of the experiment in combination with a special shale-optimized perforating charge designed for greater near wellbore reservoir contact area. \n  \nBio: \nWith a Chemical Engineering degree from Georgia Tech\, Adam McQueen journeyed across most of the lower 48 shale basins as a field engineer with Calfrac. He relocated to Denver in 2012 to join the fracturing technical & sales team at Sanjel. After leading technical sales for Keane in Denver starting in 2014\, he became regional director of sales when Keane merged with C&J to form NexTier. Today\, he’s at DynaEnergetics\, bringing his fracturing expertise to the perforating game. \nOutside of work\, Adam enjoys time with his family: wife Val\, daughter Nora\, and son Benson. Adam and Val took a yearlong sabbatical in 2017 to travel the world before starting their family.

SUMMARY:General Meeting - Karen Olson - Sealed Wellbore Pressure Monitoring and Calibrated Fracture Modeling
DESCRIPTION:  \nHost:  Society of Petroleum Engineers\, Denver Section \n  \nEvent:  February 15\, 2023 General Meeting \n  \nTime:  February 15\, 2023 11:30am-1:00pm \n\nSpeaker:  Karen Olson\, Senior Completions Advisor (Well Data Labs\, Inc.) and SPE Completions Technical Director\n  \nTitle:  Sealed Wellbore Pressure Monitoring (SWPM) and Calibrated Fracture Modeling: The next step in Unconventional Completions Optimization (SPE 212367-MS) \n  \nPresentation Abstract: \nSealed Wellbore Pressure Monitoring (SWPM) has been utilized across North and South America Basins with over 16\,000 stages monitored as of June 2022. Since May 2020\, the analysis procedure has been automated using a cloud-based software platform designed to ingest\, process\, and analyze high-frequency hydraulic fracturing data (Iriarte et al.\, 2021). A real time option of SWPM was also developed to aid in real time fracturing decisions (Ramirez et al.\, 2022).  \n The latest development is the added capability of a fracture model that can automatically history match the volume to first responses (VFRs) determined from SWPM. This next level allows for the matching of the VFRs and the visualization of the resulting fracture geometries from a fully-coupled fracture propagation\, reservoir\, and geomechanics simulator. The simulator is capable of accounting for complex processes such as poroelastic stress changes from depletion\, allowing for evaluation of complex interactions of fracture propagation and depletion. Insights gained from this process allows the operator to optimize their completion design faster and with fewer field trials.  \n This presentation focus is a case study of the DOE Eagle Ford refracturing project where a range of completion designs were trialed while monitoring offset SWPM and fiber optic strain. The resulting VFRs of the SWPM project were compared to the fiber data and then used to calibrate the fracture model.  \nConclusions of the DOE project will show the optimum cluster spacing\, cluster count and stage spacing as confirmed by the SWPM analysis and the fracture modeling. \nPlease register for the event here\n  \n\nSpeaker Biography: \nKaren Olson is a Senior Completions Advisor for Well Data Labs\, Inc.  Previously Karen was the Technology Director for Southwestern Energy Company.  \nMs. Olson has been a Completion/Reservoir Engineer for almost 40 years\, starting her career as a Frac Engineer for The Western Company of North America. She has also worked at Holditch and Associates\, Mobil\, and BP working Deepwater GOM\, Onshore Unconventionals & Conventionals and the North Sea.  \n Karen has been active with SPE and is currently the SPE Completions Technical Director.  \nKaren holds a BS degree in Petroleum Engineering from LSU and a MS degree in Petroleum Engineering from Texas A&M.  She has been honored as a Distinguished Alumni Graduate in Petroleum Engineering from Texas A&M and currently serves on the Texas A&M Petroleum Engineering Department Industry Advisory Board and the SPE Board of Directors.
