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
