Frac Hits: Child-Parent Interactions

January 31, 2019
Sponsored by: Frac Diagnostics, MicroSeismic, NCS
In North America’s most active shale fields, infill drilling and hydraulic fracturing of new wells is placing wells at risk of suffering premature production declines. In some areas of the Permian, frac hits have caused child wells to deliver a 30% lower recovery rate than their parents. Some parent wells impacted by frac hits never fully recover and, in the worst cases, permanently stop producing. Understanding the environment that allows contact by a hydraulic fracture emanating from a new well “child” to an old well “parent” is important in determining how to prevent these interactions. We are still in the early stages of understanding the interaction between child and parent wells but in this 60-minute presentation we will discuss the known causes of this issue as well as the tools and analysis that are currently available to help you detect and mitigate frac hits.

Improve Asset Reliability with Predictive Analytics for Oil and Gas Production

January 29, 2019
Sponsored by: AVEVA
Oil and gas producers have been losing on average 3–5% of their production to unplanned downtime over the past years. With the advancement in technology, companies can leverage Predictive Technology to significantly improve business performance through improved asset reliability and reduced unplanned downtime. Whether the asset is an offshore pumping station, compressor or drilling rigs, predictive analytics enables modelling of equipment behaviours using advanced pattern recognition and machine learning algorithms to identify and diagnose any potential operating issues days or weeks before failures happen. Learn how Industry 4.0 and Asset Performance Management solutions, including predictive maintenance, mobility, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), empower companies to: 1) Improve asset ROI through early warning of asset failure before it happens, reducing unplanned downtime and improving asset availability 2) Reduce operations and maintenance costs 3) Extend equipment life and increase asset utilization.

Coiled Tubing Oil & Gas Well Intervention

December 04, 2018
Sponsored by: C&J Energy Services, Gardner Denver
Coiled-tubing (CT) technology dates back to the 1950s and was initially developed for working on live, producing wells. More recently, CT technology has gained acceptance among operators for a wide range of applications and for its ability to reduce overall costs. This webinar will cover modern coiled-tubing technology and techniques, economics, and safety as well as CT equipment and intervention services such as stimulation, wellbore cleanout, logging, perforating, fishing, nitrogen kickoff, sand control, cementing, well circulation and mechanical isolation.
