Northside SG - Understanding Eagle Ford Well Behavior to Maximize Producing Life and Reduce Lift Gas Utilization

Jesus Contreras – Production engineer with 25 years of experience in the oil industry including working for the National Oil Company in Venezuela, as an engineering consultant, and for both service companies and operators as a Production Optimization and Completions Engineer. Prior work in well production optimization and enhancing well productivity includes well completions, artificial lift, and stimulation. Extensive experience in both conventional and unconventional reservoirs, tertiary oil recovery processes, and high pressure and high temperature (HP/HT) applications in artificial lift.

Zach Awny – Production engineer with combined experience of ten years working in midstream, downstream, and upstream sectors of the Oil & Gas industry with ConocoPhillips. Previously worked with multi-zone completions and waterfloods in the Permian basin, acid and hydraulic fracture stimulations, and artificial lift installations including electric submersible, progressive cavity and sucker rod lift. Currently working in the unconventional Eagle Ford play designing gas lift and plunger lift systems for horizontal multi-stage fractured wells.
