He has taught several industry training workshop classes in well fracturing and cementing

Abstract

Permian Completion Design and Optimization Program overview

Identification of geological and reservoir characteristics of an unconventional shale play is critical to its successful field development. Once the geological and reservoir characteristics are understood, optimal development is significantly dependent on the completion design and the associated well spacing program. In case of an unconventional multi-stack horizontal shale play, such as the Permian Basin, the continuous refinement of completion designs is necessary to account for specific lithology of the target formation and/ or area.
A comprehensive completion design optimization plan is needed to effectively harness the resource-in-place. The plan needs to account for the variations in the geology, hydrocarbon types, yield, true vertical depths, etc. within the asset. An optimum completion design will be different for rocks with various geologic and reservoir properties. It is equally important to realize that different completion parameters have varying effect on the well performance and the well economics. It is a challenge for an asset team to develop an optimized completion plan by testing different completion parameters in different geological regions within an asset. Rigorous scientific evaluation, modeling and economic analysis is needed to determine the actual effect of a completion parameter on well performance. A change of a completion parameter may result in better well performance, but the net incremental cost associated with making that change might not be the best economic decision.
Details of the workflow and case studies of the Permian multi-stack design optimization plan are presented. Information presented in this paper will help multi-disciplinary asset teams, consisting of engineers, geologists, and management; design a workflow for selecting appropriate multi-stack optimized design solutions for their individual shale assets

Production and Pressure Data Analysis in the Permian Basin

With a resource potential of more than 75 billion b¬arrels oil equivalent (BBOE), the Permian Basin shales have become largest and most active resource play in North America. Pioneer Natural Resources, one of the leading operators in the Permian, has drilled and completed over 1,000 horizontal shale wells and they have installed downhole pressure gauges in the majority of their wellbores. This presentation will discuss how Pioneer is leveraging this dataset using rate transient analysis, pressure transient analysis, and other techniques to better forecast production and make more informed field development decisions.
