Chris founded Pinnacle Technologies and served as CEO from 1992 to 2006. Pinnacle created the hydraulic fracture mapping industry and its innovations helped launch commercial shale gas production in the late 1990s. Chris was Chairman of Stroud Energy\, an early shale gas producer\, before its sale to Range Resources in 2006. Additionally\, Chris founded and serves as Executive Chairman of Liberty Resources and Liberty Midstream Solutions and also sits on the Board of Directors for Urban Solutions Group\, and the Federal Reserve Bank\, Denver Branch. Chris grew up and currently lives in Colorado with his wife\, Liz. He is a passionate father\, skier\, cyclist\, climber\, and outdoor enthusiast. He serves on the board of numerous nonprofits including PERC\, ACE Colorado\, ACE Montana\, PRI\, and the YCCF. \n  \n \nGreg Phodes | Senior Geologist at Fervo Energy \nAs the Senior Exploration Geologist at Fervo Energy\, Greg Rhodes is helping advance next-generation geothermal by characterizing the largest domestic geothermal lease portfolio and identifying new basins and prospects. Since 2008 he has researched and explored geothermal systems in over 50 countries including fieldwork in Chile\, Turkey\, Ethiopia\, Indonesia\, and Tibet\, among others. Having spent 6 years with one of the largest traditional geothermal developers\, Ormat Technologies\, working on a wide variety of projects with significant focus in the western US\, Greg has abundant experience identifying\, modeling\, and drilling geothermal resources. His career has also included independent geothermal consulting in Kenya for the US Energy Association\, leading collaborative DOE-funded geothermal research at NREL\, and serving as the Geothermal Technical Specialist at CGG. His published research has involved techno-economic modeling of traditional and EGS geothermal drilling and development\, identifying gaps in publicly available geoscience data\, informing federally funded regional geophysical surveys\, repurposing mining data for geothermal\, and experimental geologic and geophysical exploration studies. Greg holds a BS from Vanderbilt University and MS from the Mackay School at University of Nevada\, Reno (Go Wolf Pack!). Greg relocated to Denver in 2023 after living in Wales. \nPricing \nTickets for the joint session are $60 for working professionals and $15 for students. \nMeal Options \nFor food\, there will be a Mexican-themed dinner buffet that includes the following options: \nVegetarian \nGluten-free \nDairy-free \nVegan \nSponsorship \n \nEvent Flyer  \n \n\nRegistration: CLICK HERE

SUMMARY:Quantitative Analysis of HFTS-2 Completion Designs using Cross-well Strain Measurement
DESCRIPTION:Host:  Society of Petroleum Engineers\, Denver Section \nEvent:  April 2024 Technical Happy Hour​ \nTime:  April 23rd\, 4-6 (HH begins at 4\, Talk at 430\, Social until 6) \nLocation: Ovintiv 40th Floor\, 370 17th St\, Denver\, CO 80202 \nStudy Group Category:  Completion  \nSpeaker: Joseph Mjehovich\, Geophysicist\, IFDATA LLC \nTitle:  Quantitative Analysis of HFTS-2 Completion Designs using Cross-well Strain Measurement \nAbstract: \nLow-frequency Distributed Acoustic Sensing (LF-DAS) based cross-well strain measurement is an advanced monitoring technique used to diagnose completion design efficiency but has been primarily restricted to qualitative analysis. In this study\, we apply our novel Green-function based inversion algorithm to calculate fracture geometry (i.e.\, width) using the Department of Energy sponsored Hydraulic Fracturing Test Site 2 (HFTS-2) dataset. \nWe use the inversion algorithm to calculate dynamic fracture widths using LF-DAS data recorded at two horizontal monitoring wells with permanent optical fiber installations. The inverted fracture widths at the monitoring wells from over 100 hydraulic fracturing stages are used to diagnose the efficiency of eight unique completion designs implemented across three fracturing wells. We develop several metrics to evaluate completion design efficiency including the evenness of fracture widths at the monitoring wells\, fracture density (i.e.\, number of fracture hits per ft)\, and fracture-width-density (i.e.\, fracture width/stage length). \nWe observe a significant impact on completion efficiency with varying degrees of limited entry\, tapered configurations\, and stage length designs. Results indicate improved hydraulic stimulation is achieved with the implementation of limited entry designs for extended stage lengths\, but no observable trend for normal stage lengths. Tapered configurations significantly improve efficiency for extended stage lengths but indicate little impact on normal length designs. Additionally\, our quantitative analysis describes the impact of the nearby depletion zone on completion design efficiency. The methodology developed in this study provides operators with another level of quantitative information to optimize hydraulic fracturing treatments and reduce costs associated with the development of unconventional wells. \nBio: \nJoseph Mjehovich is a Geophysicist at IFDATA LLC\, specializing in the research and development of Distributed Fiber-Optic Sensing for reservoir characterization and well design diagnostics. His primary focus lies in advancing the understanding\, analysis\, and interpretation of cross-well based fiber-optic measurements. At IFDATA\, Joseph seamlessly integrates the company’s research and workflows into real-world field projects\, delivering valuable insights and solutions for clients. \nJoseph earned his Master of Science degree in Geophysics from the Colorado School of Mines\, where he made contributions as a research associate in the Reservoir Characterization Project (RCP) Consortium. His research centered on the quantitative analysis of distributed fiber-optic sensing data to deepen understanding of the key factors driving hydraulic fracture development. Additionally\, Joseph explored the application of distributed acoustic sensing for near-surface seismic surveys aimed at earthquake hazard site classification. \nJoseph has several publications\, including the URTeC 2023 Best of Paper\, and currently has a patent pending with IFDATA LLC. He also received the Harold Mendenhall Geophysics Award while at Mines for conducting cutting-edge and collaborative research. \nRegistration: Click HERE
