permian basin completions 2015

The Completions Design Sessions On The 4th Annual Permian Horizontal Completions: Wolfcamp And Cline Focus Agenda Will Feature A Brand-New Practical Format Designed To Evaluate The Impact Of Adjustments To Completions Variables On Initial And Cumulative Production Rates:

• ADJUSTMENT: Which frac variable the operator changed between wells

• COST OF ADJUSTMENT: The cost impact of the variable change

• IMPACT ON PRODUCTION: The extent to which changing the variable impacted production performance

KEY VARIABLES BEING ADDRESSED:• OPTIMUM FLUID DESIGN, PROPPANT SIZES, FLUID VOLUMES, CLUSTER SPACING, LATERAL

LENGTH AND NUMBER OF STAGES: Evaluating case studies on how adjustments in completions are maximizing initial and cumulative production results relative to costs

• SLICK WATER VS. CROSS LINK VS. HYBRID: Examining well results from wells in the same reservoir to evaluate how the transition from one frac fluid to the other affects performance relative to costs

• PLUG AND PERF VS. SLIDING SLEEVE: Evaluating how frac systems are inferring recovery rates in the Permian shales, relative to costs

• WELL SPACING: Correlating reservoir data with initial production rates and completions results to infer well spacing in the Permian and maximize recovery potential

• COMPLETIONS LOGISTICS: Identifying key resource and supply availability problems to find alternative supply sources and guarantee efficiency and continuity of completions operations in the Permian

How Adjustments To Completions Variables Are Affecting Costs And Cumulative Production In Different Zones In Permian Shales:Identifying Optimal Frac Designs, Completions Styles And Well Spacing For The Wolfcamp, Cline, Bone Springs, And Avalon Shales

With the Permian now producing around 1.7 million bpd, with an average of 460 rigs, and set to reach the 3.5 million bpd figure in 2025, the basin is rapidly becoming the largest shale region in the United States.

So what is the key factor behind making sure these growth rates are reflected on an individual company basis? Strategies for completions optimization.

Advances in horizontal completions and hydraulic fracturing are now needed to reduce well costs and optimize production in multi-stack Permian reservoirs. With the number of new horizontal wells overtaking the number of new vertical developments in the Permian for the first time last year, operators in the Wolfcamp A, B and C, Cline, Avalon, and Bone Springs shales are continually collecting data indicating how adjustments in completions variables are correlating with incremental production rates.

The 4th Annual Permian Horizontal Completions: Wolfcamp And Cline Focus congress has been re-researched and this year to specifically focus on how adjustments to completions variables are affecting costs and cumulative production in different Permian shale zones.

Speakers will deliver presentations showing how different combinations of frac variables relative to cost impact on initial and cumulative production and EOR by evaluating each completions variable separately: from fluid design to proppant sizes, types and concentrations; from cluster spacing to number of stages.

Each Completions Design Session Will Be Addressed As Follows:

• Adjustment: Which frac variable the operator changed between wells

• Cost Of Adjustment: The cost impact of the variable change

• Impact On Production: The extent to which changing the variable impacted production performance

The congress will also be looking at how to improve completions logistics and identify alternative water sources to overcome shortages of sand and water supplies, as well as cradle-to-grave completions case studies on the Wolfcamp A, B and C Intervals, Cline, Avalon and Bone Springs shales.
