SUMMARY:Denver Metro Region Science and Engineering Fair - Volunteering Opportunity
DESCRIPTION:  \nWe are excited to announce that judge registration is now open for the 2023 CoorsTek Denver Metro Regional Science and Engineering Fair! Join SPE and other volunteers and show your enthusiasm and expertise to help our student researchers get the most out of their fair experience. Judges engage directly with students and their projects\, asking questions\, guiding discussions\, and ultimately selecting the winners of the fair. Year over year\, students report that the #1 reason they participate is the opportunity to meet and receive feedback from real live STEM professionals. Help us show students that This is what a scientist looks like! \nThe 2023 fair is scheduled as a two-day event\, with judging taking place on Friday\, February 24th. All judges must be available to participate in-person on February 24th from 9 am – 5 pm. \nContact SPE board member Nico Cosca (nicolas.cosca@hpinc.com) if you have any questions.

SUMMARY:Denver Section Industry Advisory Committee
DESCRIPTION:The next Denver Section Industry Advisory Committee (IAC) meeting will be held via Zoom from 0900-0930 on February 22\, 2023. The Committee is comprised of key engineering and geoscience staff from service\, midstream\, and upstream energy industry companies with operations in the Rockies. The purpose of the IAC is to facilitate communication with and amongst companies and give them the opportunity to provide input directly to the Denver SPE Section Board on how the Section can best serve their Denver-based professional staff. Anyone not already on the Committee wishing to attend can contact John Benton (JHBenton@mines.edu) or Joe Dumesnil (JDumesnil@overlandoil.com) for more information.

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.
