 \;ABSTRACT of Pres entation
Over the last ten (10) years, the shale revolutio n in North America has shown the great potential that exists in the shale plays and their potential impact in altering the energy picture, not only in North America, but worldwide. \; The magnitude of the resource and production data were very encouraging. \; Early data, however, showed rapid decline in the first year (as much as 90%), raising some concerns ab out the long term viability of the predicted Estimated Ultimate Recovery ( EUR) values for these wells. \; \;
 \;To investigate th e causes and impact of the observed large annual decline in the first year , multiple technical studies were undertaken. \; As a result of these studies, the industry discovered that production practices led to such rap id decline. \; Methods to mitigate and reduce these large annual decli nes and preserve the predicted EUR&rsquo\;s were developed and production practices were adjusted. \; The resulting approach, referred to as &ld quo\;Drawdown Management&rdquo\;, was developed and stric tly applied in majority of shale plays (gas or oil). \; This new drawd own management methodology resulted in reducing the first year production decline to 60% and sometimes less.  \; \;
 \;In this di scussion, we will review the elements that were found to greatly impact sh ale well productivity along with field results showing how this impacted t he predicted EUR from these wells. \; Furthermore, we will outline the relation between this approach of production management and the need for re-fracturing in shale plays. \;
