WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Engineers, managers, and geoscientists that want to learn how to select the best refrac candidates and design completions for refracs and new wells that produce the maximum volume of hydrocarbons for the minimum possible cost.

COURSE DESCRIPTION: Participants will understand why refracs work and how they can deliver superior economics to new well completions. With the processes discussed in the course the risks associated with refrac candidate selection, mechanical isolation, and refrac 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 refrac produce with an optimized stimulation treatment?
  • What are the “best practices” to avoid stranding hydrocarbons in both types of wells?
  • Where have operators done refracs and what are their economics vs new wells?
  • How refracs can help avoid new infill well 40% EUR losses from asymmetric fracs.
COURSE CONTENT:
  • Top ten reasons to refrac a well
  • Where have refracs worked and are they economic?
  • Why refracs work in organic shales
  • Why refracs work in matrix permeability reservoirs
  • Refrac candidate selection in organic shales
  • Refrac 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 refracs
  • Case studies in organic shale and conventional reservoirs
