ABSTRACT OF PRESENTATION
THIS REGULAR GENERAL MEETING LUNCHEON EVENT WILL BE HELD IN PERSON AND ALSO VIA WEBINAR. TO REGISTER FOR THE WEBINAR, PLEASE RETURN TO THE EVENTS PAGE FOR THE WEBINAR LINK.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unconventional reservoirs are filled with extensive micro-fractures created by hydrocarbon expulsion that are reactivated via hydraulic fracturing. Unlike fracturing conventional rock that is reliant on highly conductive tensile fractures, these micro-fractures fail in shear and greatly increase the connected surface area to nanodarcy unconventional rock. By actively increasing the number of shear fractures created during hydraulic fracturing, operators can re-enter these micro-fractures and maximize the well’s productivity.
This presentation will present modern physics based on hydraulic fracturing and proppant placement coupled with the field use of real-time software that is capable of measuring and qualifying tensile and shearing fractures on a second-by-second basis. Examples of how operators made “on-the-fly” changes to their pumping schedule to maximize shear fracturing will be presented. Case histories will be presented showing the real-time changes and added production benefits of shear fracturing.

Registration & Walk-ins
All attendees are encouraged to register and pay online for this event. This is a more efficient means of registering for the event and enables the registration process at the meeting to move much faster. Walk-in space is available on a seat-limited basis at a fee more than the on-line registration fee.
NOTE:
To secure the health and safety of all attendees, SPE-GCS will apply the following new Covid-19 safety protocol guidelines:
- Check in process (mandatory):
- Temperature check will be conducted (cannot be higher than F)
- Masks and hand sanitizer will be available on site
- Attendees who are sick will not be permitted to enter the event. This is without exception.
Only 4 persons in an elevator - so allow time for elevator ride to club.
