About this Workshop

Continuing in its annual success, this SPE Applied Technology Workshop will address key technologies and best practices for improving well performance in a tight gas, low cost scenario.  This year’s program focuses on these key issues:

• Frac Fluids and Clean-Up
• Evaluation and Diagnostics
• Proppant Selection
• Subsurface Engineering
• Water Management
• Reservoir Considerations
• Shale Gas

Also included are case studies highlighting best practices from Canada, the Piceance Basin, Greater Green River Basin, and other active Rocky Mountain development areas.

This workshop will attract an informed audience with a knowledge of tight gas technologies and applications. Brief presentations will be followed by extended Q&A with the audience.  This will be a frank discussion of specific, operations level issues.

 

Workshop Guidelines

Workshops maximize the exchange of ideas among attendees and presenters through brief technical presentations followed by extended Q&A periods. Focused topics attract an informed audience eager to discuss issues critical to advancing both technology and best practices.

Many of the presentations are in the form of case studies, highlighting engineering achievements and lessons learned. In order to stimulate frank discussion, no proceedings are published and members of the press are not invited to attend.

Documentation

Proceedings from the workshop will not be published; therefore, formal papers and handouts are not requested of speakers or panel members. A URL containing released copies of the workshop presentations will be available to attendees following the workshop.

Commercialism

In remaining consistent with workshop objectives and SPE guidelines, commercialism in presentations will not be permitted.  Company logos should be used only to indicate the affiliation of the presenter(s).

Continuing Education Units (CEUs)

Attendees will receive 2.0 CEUs.

One CEU equals 10 contact hours of participation.  CEUs will be awarded through SPE Professional Development for participation and completion of SPE workshop.  A permanent record of a participant’s involvement and awarding of CEUs will be maintained by SPE.
