03 Operator Forum: Integrated Development Hall A

Session Chairpersons Luis Baez - ConocoPhillips, Nuny Rincones - ConocoPhillips

ConocoPhillips operations expand across the Delaware and Midland Basins across the Permian. ConocoPhillips will use this opportunity to provide valuable insights into sequence development in the Delaware Basin and the execution of large pad projects in the Midland Basin. In the Delaware Basin, the speakers will delve into the reservoir characteristics of the Wolfcamp formation. Participants will gain insights into the key factors influencing reservoir quality and heterogeneity, enabling them to better evaluate and optimize development and operational strategies. In the Midland Basin, with the advent of advanced drilling and completion technologies, the development of large-scale drilling pads has become increasingly prevalent. This session will delve into the key considerations and challenges associated with planning and executing such projects, ranging from site selection and preparation to logistics and project management.

Speaker(s) Murray Dighans - Endeavor Energy Resources, Paul Dubois - Railroad Commission of Texas, Stefan Hussenoeder - ExxonMobil, Doug Klepacki - Coterra Energy, Jean-Philippe Nicot - The University of Texas At Austin

The industry has increasingly been employing pressure data to understand the response of subsurface formations to saltwater disposal, a primary causal factor for induced seismicity in the Permian. In addition, the Texas Railroad Commission issued an industry notification that all new SWD permits may carry an expectation of pressure monitoring. This panel will discuss these developments and provide case studies on how the industry is using pressure information to better understand the relationship between subsurface pressure evolution and the behavior and properties of the subsurface formation, such as injectivity and seismicity. Case studies will include the Eddy/Lea County Line SRA (NM), North Culberson Reeves SRA (TX), and Stanton SRA (TX).
