TIGHT OIL CANADA 2011

Examining Cost-Effective Completions Technologies & Techniques For Maximizing Tight Oil Production & Using Geological Data To Choose The Right Completions Strategy In The Cardium, Viking, Bakken & Lower Shaunavon

Due to advances in hydraulic fracturing technologies and rising oil prices, tight oil plays in Canada such as the Cardium, Viking, Bakken and Lower Shaunavon are becoming increasingly economical to exploit.  These now rank amongst some of the hottest oil plays in the world and operators are rushing to exploit them.

In order to do maximize recovery in these plays it is vital that operators understand the most cost-effective completions strategies, technologies and techniques that work best in tight oil plays.  It is also vital that they understand how to incorporate their geological findings into their completions strategy to maximize productivity.

The mission of Tight Oil Canada 2011 is bring together the key Canadian E&P companies working in the Cardium, Viking, Bakken and Lower Shaunavon to share practical solutions on minimizing cost and maximizing productivity in tight oil production.  Following on from the success of the groundbreaking Tight Oil From Shale Plays World Congress, which attracted over 300 attendees from the USA’s leading operators, this event seeks to replicate that success for the Canadian market.

On Day 1 of the event, leading E&P companies from Canada will explain the most cost-effective completions strategies, technologies and techniques that are having practical success in maximizing recovery in the Cardium, Viking, Bakken and Lower Shaunavon.  Leading E&P companies will evaluate the pros and cons of oil-based vs. water based fracture fluids and explain the optimal fracture sizes, spacing and number of fractures per well to exploit each of these plays.  They will also evaluate advances in completions technology that can be capitalized on by companies operating in these plays.

On Day 2 they will explain how companies can use geological data on tight rocks to choose the optimal completions strategy.  Specifically, they will focus on how to use data on porosity, permeability and core data to determine the right completions strategy in your tight oil play.  Finally they will explain the latest advances in drilling technologies for tight oil production, including monobore vs conventional horizontal drilling.

The event will be the year’s only opportunity, focused specifically on the key Canadian tight oil plays where you can hear from the E&P companies themselves on how they are cost-effectively improving recovery in their plays and an unmissable opportunity to be part of the partnerships that drive the industry forward as they are formed.

LEARNING BENEFITS

As operators rush to key Canadian tight oil plays including the Cardium, Viking, Bakken and Lower Shaunavon...

...it is becoming increasingly vital that they maintain their competitive edge by finding cost-effective completions technologies and techniques for maximizing productivity in their operations and using geological data on tight rocks to choose the correct completions strategy.

Tight Oil Canada 2011 will be gathering together the leading operators from the Cardium, Viking, Bakken and Lower Shaunavon for the first time to share practical solutions on cost-effectively maximizing recovery in tight oil plays.  The latest in the world’s leading Tight Oil series, following in the footsteps of the Tight Oil From Shale Plays World Congress in Denver, this event will be the first operator-led tight oil event for the Canadian industry.

Leading E&P companies at the event will be providing the following commercial solutions:

COST-EFFECTIVE COMPLETIONS STRATEGIES: Understanding how leading operators in the Cardium, Viking & Bakken are implementing cutting-edge completions strategies to drive down the cost of tight oil production

OIL VS WATER FRACTURE FLUIDS: Determining which fracture fluids offer the most favourable balance of cost vs. performance in tight oil production

FRACTURE SIZE & SPACING: Evaluating the optimal fracture sizes, spacing and number of fractures per well to use in the Cardium, Viking and Bakken formations

COMPLETIONS TECHNOLOGIES: Analyzing cost-effective completions technologies for tight oil plays and strategies for gaining access to the equipment and services for large scale production

INCORPORATING GEOLOGICAL DATA INTO COMPLETIONS STRATEGY: Explaining how to use data on porosity, permeability and core data to determine the right completions strategy in your tight oil play

MONOBORE VS CONVENTIONAL DRILLING: Examining what cost-savings monobore drilling can deliver and benchmarking strategies for optimizing well density
