Completions Study Group August 4th, 2015 Event Presentation Meeting Title: Continuing the Refracturing Discussion – A Case History: BP Woodford Shale Pilot Project Synopsis: This third Completions Study Group meeting continued with a themed discussion format on Refracturing. James Rodgerson kicked off this group discussion by presenting the attached Woodford Shale Pilot Project case history based on SPE 168607 and additional information found in an April 2014 JPT article (pp. 52-60). The project explored various techniques used to recomplete horizontal shale wells, including attempts to recapture a portion of bypassed pay. The topics covered in the case history included planning, the well selection process, execution and the re-fracturing approaches used, resulting in improved production rates. Following the review of the case history by James, there was a moderated, table-by-table discussion of related refracturing experience from the group. Attendees discussed their refracturing experiences, including specific evaluations, case studies and issues encountered, along with ideas for related discussions in future study group sessions. Speaker Details: James is a hydraulic fracturing and completions specialist with over 30 years’ experience in Shale stimulation and more than 20 years in horizontal stimulation. Most recently he has been very active in BP’s South Texas Eagle Ford JV Project, which included hydraulic fracture design support and DTS/DAS fiber optic implementation and evaluation. James started in the oilfield over 34 years ago with BJ Services. James served at BP from 2012 - 2015 as a senior technical specialist in fracturing and stimulation completions and has now joined Devon Energy as a Completions Engineer Advisor.
