Evaluating the impact of completion/frac design and other factors on multi-fractured horizontal well

The share of multistage fractured wells in unconventional, hard-to-recover oil and gas reserves is constantly expanding. As s

Join us for this SPE Tech Talk with NexTier Completions Solutions to discuss how understanding water quality and conducting appropriate pre-job testing enables the development of tailored chemical plans to optimize frac efficiency, well production, and produced water usage. 

This video was recorded during SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technical Section July 2023 Webinar. Stephen Schubarth discusses the similarities between all unconventional, multi-stage well decline curves. The different flow regimes and how to utilize this information to characterize reservoir permeability and completion success. 

In this SPE Tech Talk, hear from two experts as they share how TFS’ new maintenance-free technology is helping increase productivity, reduce grease needs, improve safety, and reduce emissions in oil and gas operations.

In this Tech Talk, we discuss the subject of Data Validity: the extent to which data accurately reflects reality, and the impact it may have on decisions that are based upon data.

Refracturing is an opportunity for EUR enhancement within an existing wellbore. The concept can be appealing for an operator to obtain production uplift without the higher costs associated with drilling the well. In addition, operators have partially de-risked the reservoir position since well production history is known. So, is it really that simple? Don't miss this SPE Tech Talk with Universal Pressure Pumping as we discuss optimal use cases for refrac consideration.

Understanding how hydraulic fractures propagate, where the proppant ends up, and how they connect with the reservoir is fundamental to designing effec

Catalyst Energy Services recently launched VortexPrime, their direct-drive turbine fleet technology powered by natural gas in 2022.In this SPE Tech Talk episode, Catalyst shares a new case study featuring this technology, which resulted in significant savings for the operator.

In unconventional completions, the plug & perf processes not only dictate the effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing stimulation but also determine
