About this Workshop

This workshop is designed to engage and educate through lively panel discussions and case study presentations outlining peers’ successes & failures, evolving operational efficiencies, and emerging concerns. 

Topics to be discussed will include:

• The latest macro views on the Montney and its current place in the global supply hierarchy

• Full field development including, but not limited to multi-zone exploitation, strategy on infrastructure and pad design, evolving frac technologies, and production efficiencies

• Reservoir characterization across the fairway

• Well design, construction, and integrity through drilling and completions

• Production management through choking, controlled drawdown (flowback), and artificial lift techniques

• Investigation of induced seismic events related to hydrocarbon extraction

• Well diagnostic methods to determine successes and failures, and quantifying real economic returns

• This workshop will take a holistic approach that includes the integration of geosciences with reservoir, completion, and production engineering disciplines.

Who Should Attend

Anyone working in the Montney will benefit from this collaborative workshop — management, all disciplines of engineers, geologists, operations personnel, technicians and more.

Workshop Format

Workshops maximize the exchange of ideas among attendees and presenters through brief technical ‎presentations followed by extended Q&A periods. Focused topics attract an informed audience eager to ‎discuss issues critical to advancing both technology and best practices.‎

Many of the presentations are in the form of case studies, highlighting engineering achievements and ‎lessons learned. In order to stimulate frank discussion, no proceedings are published and members of the ‎press are not invited to attend.‎

Documentation

Proceedings from the workshop will not be published; therefore, formal papers and handouts are not ‎requested of speakers or panel members. A URL containing released copies of the workshop presentations ‎will be available to attendees following the workshop. A workshop summary will be prepared by the ‎technical program committee for public release, but no other information.‎

Commercialism

In remaining consistent with workshop objectives and SPE guidelines, commercialism in presentations will ‎not be permitted. Company logos should be used only to indicate the affiliation of the presenter(s).‎

Continuing Education Units (CEUs)‎

Attendees will receive 1.6 CEUs.‎ One CEU equal 8 contact hours of participation. CEUs are awarded through SPE Professional Development ‎for participation and completion of SPE workshop. A permanent record of a participant’s involvement and ‎awarding of CEUs will be maintained by SPE.
