THIRD NORTH AMERICAN TIGHT OIL CONGRESS FOCUSING ON DEVELOPING HYDRAULIC FRACTURING TECHNIQUES IN THE EAGLE FORD OIL WINDOW

The Eagle Ford oil window hosts a phenomenal volume of the most lucrative unconventional oil reserves in North America and, with hydraulic fracturing technology driving forward profitability on a yearly basis, it is essential that techniques and strategies for oil recovery continue to develop at low cost with speed and efficiency.

In the geologically discontinuous Eagle Ford formation, determining the most cost effective and high recovery completions design, from the proppant type used to the number of frac stages executed, is a continuing challenge. As acreage is quickly leased up in the play’s oil window, incumbent operators across South Texas are continually testing different combinations of completions variables to determine which will yield maximum recovery at the lowest costs.

Tight Oil Eagle Ford 2011, will bring together leading thought leaders and technical directors from E&P operators across the play to discuss and examine the latest production results and the methods used for determining optimum recovery completions strategies and driving down production costs.

Day one will hear operators explaining how they have chosen proppant types and fluid concentrations to develop a recipe for maximum oil recovery in the Eagle Ford. Frac stages, spacing and orientation will also each be discussed followed by presentations on frac sizes and pumping pressures, frac technologies and availability and water sourcing.

Day two will examine how the discontinuous geological characteristics of the Eagle Ford can be understood to enable the effective application of drilling and completions techniques. Reservoir deliverability will be discussed relative to thermal maturity, reservoir pressure, lithology, porosity, saturation and permeability to identify how rock characteristics can be exploited to increase recovery. The conference will end with presentations identifying successful drilling techniques and technologies that can be used to improve oil recovery throughout the life of the well including lateral lengths, drill orientations and faulting and steering techniques.
