Agenda
Monday, August 23
This session focuses on the "big picture" of how unconventional well completions have changed the landscape of global production and reserves. The cost per sales volume (barrel or MSCF) has been squeezed to the limit, passing on trillions of dollars in savings from these innovations. However; we now face a situation where the production per lateral foot is stagnating due to well interference (i.e., "parent-child" effects) and in diminishing returns from changes to stimulation designs — in short, we may have reached the economic limit of unconventional development, at least at our present technical capabilities. The purpose of this session is to present an assessment of current industry trends, as well as emerging technical innovations that are likely to improve both the technical and economic metrics for well performance in unconventional reservoirs.

This facilitated session provides an opportunity for attendees to engage with their colleagues, program speakers and committee members on current topics, technical discussions, or industry challenges. The format includes interactive polling with follow up facilitated discussion. This open format allows for either broader discussion outside the scope of the presentation or more in-depth review of technical concepts.

Tuesday, August 24
This session includes data-rich case studies by operators covering several aspects of "frac protects". Everything from pre-loads, active injection, pressure monitoring and real time job termination is up for discussion. Diagnostics, lessons learned, and recommendations will be presented for several basins.
Presenter: David Craig, OXY
Presentation: Defining the Depletion Field Using Infill Horizontal Well Image Logs and Well Testing: HFTS I, HFTS II, & More
Presenter: Trevor Ingle, Devon
Presentation: Integrating SWPM and Interference Testing to Characterize Hydraulic Fracture Propagation and Retained Conductive Geometries
Most recent industry literature and public presentations relating to fracture driven interactions relate to the active interactions during fracturing, however, there is equal, if not more value to be gained from proper interference design and testing the sustained long term communication between wells. There are various methods and procedures existing today, but what are the proper method for unconventional resource development to identify and quantify depletion, shared drainage, short and long term connectivity, and conductivity of the system? This session will review operator experiences and best practices when it comes to proper methods and ways to evaluate production interference that occurs after fracture driven interactions.

Presentation: Quantifying Inter-Bench Communication in South Texas Eagle Ford using Chow Pressure Group Methodology
Many of the tier 1 well locations in the Eagle Ford and Mid-Con have been exploited via primary wells resulting in severe depletion to combat during infill drilling. This session will review diagnostic pilots that improve the understanding of depletion impacts as well as mitigation case studies aimed at mitigating the impact from primary well depletion.
