WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Engineers, managers, and geoscientists that want to learn how to select the best recompletion candidates and design fracs for new wells and recompletions that produce the maximum volume of hydrocarbons for the minimum possible cost.
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Participants will understand why recompletions work and how they can deliver superior economics to new well fracs. With the processes discussed in the course, the risks associated with recompletion candidate selection, mechanical isolation, and recompletion execution can be minimized to the lowest level possible.
PLEASE NOTE: PARTICIPANTS ARE REQUIRED TO BRING THEIR OWN LAPTOPS WITH MS EXCEL AND ADOBE READER INSTALLED.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
- What should a new well or recompletion produce with an optimized stimulation treatment?
- What are the “best practices” to avoid stranding hydrocarbons in both types of wells?
- Where have operators done recompletions and what are their economics vs new wells?
- How recompletions can help avoid new infill well 40% EUR losses from asymmetric fracs.
COURSE CONTENT:
- Top ten reasons to recomplete a well
- Where have recompletions worked and are they economic?
- Why recompletions work in organic shales
- Why recompletions work in matrix permeability reservoirs
- Recompletion candidate selection in organic shales
- Recompletion candidate selection in matrix permeability reservoirs
- Derisking wellbore mechanical integrity issues
- “Best practices” for isolating existing perforations
- “Best practices” to maximize recovery factors
- “Best practices” to protect infill wells from asymmetric fracs
- Booking behind pipe reserves with recompletions
- Case studies in organic shale and conventional reservoirs
