A Cool Way to Store Carbon Dioxide via Clathrate Hydrates

Climate change is known to be dominantly caused by the increased concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2). Over the years, the clathrate hydrate process has demonstrated promising potential for innovative applications, such as natural gas storage, carbon dioxide capture and storage, seawater desalination, and cold energy storage. CO2 hydrate, a solid compound consisting of molecular CO2 encased in crystalline lattices formed by water molecules, is an attractive option for long-term CO2 sequestration. Methane (CH4) hydrates in oceanic sediments have remained stable for millions of years, serving as a natural analog. Thus, the question arises: can we store CO2 in the form of hydrates in oceanic sediments indefinitely? In this presentation, the state-of-the-art on clathrate hydrate technology pertaining to carbon dioxide storage will be discussed in detail. Compact CO2 storage capacity, high stability, and the use of water as a solvent are key advantages of the hydrate-based CO2 storage system. Additionally, future research and development opportunities, as well as pathways for commercialization, will be explored.

AGM and Distinguished Lecture: CO2 Geological Storage from 8 Years of Dynamic Injection at the Aquis

CO2 Geological Storage from 8 Years of Dynamic Injection at the Aquistore CO2 Storage Site Rick Chalaturnyk University of Alberta and GeoVer Inc. Abstract: Do not underestimate the complexity of CO2 injection behaviour for full scale projects The Aquistore CO2 Storage Project is an integral component of SaskPower’s Boundary Dam CO2 Capture Project located in southeastern Saskatchewan, Canada. Operational synergies between the capture facility (supply) and CO2-EOR (demand) also require excess CO2 to be transported via pipeline to the Aquistore site where it is injected into a hyper-saline fluid filled sandstone formation at approximately 3300 m depth. The reservoir temperature is approximately 120 °C, and average reservoir pressure is 35 MPa. Preliminary laboratory measurements on core plugs gave average values of porosity and permeability, 6% and 5 mD respectively. The Aquistore site includes one injection well and one observation well approximately 150m offset from the injection well. Both wells are completed with various measurement and monitoring equipment, including distributed temperature sensing lines (DTS), distributed acoustic sensing line (DAS) and tubing/casing-conveyed pressure gauges at different levels to measure pressure and temperature changes downhole during to CO2 injection. This presentation focuses on dynamic responses that have been recorded since the completion of the CO2 injection well and the start of CO2 injection began on April 16, 2015 and discusses issues ranging from well integrity to reservoir simulation to seismic monitoring. This unprecedented opportunity to collect monitoring data on the dynamics of phase changes (i.e. supercritical to liquid to gas phase shifts) from the wellhead to the geological formation associated with CO2 injection. Real time monitoring data of these phase changes in the injection stream under fully integrated operational conditions provides unparalleled information for understanding geological storage under these conditions and optimizing completion systems Biography: Rick Chalaturnyk is a Professor of Geotechnical Engineering at the University of Alberta and holds an NSERC/Energi Simulation Industrial Research Chair in Reservoir Geomechanics. His Reservoir Geomechanics Research Group focusses primarily on subsurface processes related to energy processes. He has established four unique GeoInnovation Environments, which includes 3D printing of rocks, high temperature/pressure reservoir geomechanical testing capability and a geotechnical beam centrifuge. Rick has over 20 years’ experience in CCUS projects, is currently working with PTRC and SaskPower in the Aquistore Project, is pursuing the integration of CO2 storage and geothermal opportunities and is involved with several other international CCS initiatives.

The Role Of Reservoir Management In Lowering Our Carbon Footprint

Abstract: Engineers and scientists play a critical role in advancing innovative solutions to manage the carbon footprint and support activities that lead us towards the ‘global net-zero’ objective. Our traditional oil and gas production operations have generally not taken a systems approach that could result in lower carbon intensity. Effective reservoir and asset management practices can help improve this situation. In addition, subsurface aquifers and depleted reservoirs are the ideal place for supporting other industries reduce their carbon footprint due to the lack of currently available scalable commercial technologies. Evolving reservoir management practices support this immediate need. This talk will focus on understanding the basics of carbon intensity in our operations, provide some thoughts on how reservoir management practices can help improve the operations and ponder the activities of carbon storage in reservoirs. Dr. Jitendra Kikani is the Director of Reservoir Management (RM) for international businesses in the Chevron Technical Center. In this role, he is responsible for functional excellence, subsurface integrity and project assurance, as well as people development. Has published several dozen peer-reviewed technical papers and contributed to number of published books. He authored a textbook on Reservoir Surveillance which was published by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) in 2013.

Distinguished Lecturer - Transforming How to Evaluate Wells and Unlock Reserves: Deep Transient Test

Society of Petroleum Engineers Distinguished Lecturer Transforming How to Evaluate Wells and Unlock Reserves: Deep Transient Testing François-Xavier Dubost SLB 18:00 06 October 2023 BELGO, 159A Nguyen Van Thu, Q1 Abstract: Dynamic data, acquired using wireline formation testing or well testing techniques, are used by operators to address uncertainties associated with reserve estimates and productivity, while rationalizing field development and production costs. However, these evaluation techniques provide dynamic data at different length scales, and with different environmental footprint, cost, and operational constraints. To help reduce development risks, a Deep Transient Testing (DTT) technique was developed in response to an industry and customer need in 2015 and has been used since then by many oil companies. The method is a hybrid technique between wireline formation testing and Drill Stem Testing (DST) designed to meet local regulatory requirements to unlock reserves. It is based on innovations with higher resolution measurements, pumping of large fluid volumes on wireline at higher rates, extending testing time and circulating the produced fluids out of the well for safety and well control, without the requirement for surface flaring. These features enable dynamic reservoir characterization in thicker formations, higher permeabilities and with much deeper volume of investigation than previously available. Pressure transient testing and sampling results from DTT technique is now becoming an important component in operating companies’ reservoir evaluation programs. The DTT technique is embedded in a digital framework to provide early reservoir fluids models and reservoir insights coupled to geological models, so that well deliverability and prospect commerciality can be evaluated. DTT also aligns with global sustainable development goals, by enabling reductions in CO2 emissions by up to 96% percent, and offering high operational efficiency compared with other wireline formation testing systems to significantly reduce energy consumption. Biography: Francois-Xavier Dubost focused for 27 years on reservoir performance evaluation and recently joined the SLB HQ team as Reservoir Technical Director. Graduated from Herriot Watt University with an MSc in Reservoir Evaluation and Management, Francois has been looking at all angles of reservoir engineering topics from acquisition to interpretation and incorporation of the measurements into field models. He recently dedicated his interests in the field of Deep Transient Testing, introducing this topic to the industry with the first published papers, presenting it in different expert meetings and lectures, and acting as a leader internationally to develop this new technique. Francois co-authored over 30 publications and filed over 10 patents predominantly on Formation Testing & Sampling #DistinguishedLecturer #ReservoirDescriptionandDynamics

CO2 in, CH4 out! A Useful Concept for Hydrates?

Overview Natural gas hydrate deposits are found on all active and passive continental margins as well as in permafrost regions and deep lakes. Their worldwide occurrence and the large quantities of natural gas they contain make them appear to be both an energy source and a potential climate factor. In order to use the methane bound in gas hydrate deposits in the most climate-neutral way possible, it has been proposed to combine the extraction of natural gas from the gas hydrates with the injection of CO2: The methane gas trapped in the gas hydrates is to be replaced by CO2. In recent years, a large number of experimental and numerical simulations have been performed to understand the interaction between injected CO2 and the hydrate-bearing sediment. This webinar summarizes the main results and highlights the challenges and potential opportunities of the method.

SPE Distinguished Lecture - Jaideva Goswami - Early Kick Detection

PLEASE RSVP BELOW A kick or an influx may be defined as an unintended flow of formation fluid into the borehole. It occurs when the wellbore pressure falls below the formation pore pressure. Not all kicks are dangers; however, an uncontrolled kick can lead to catastrophic events. A reliable early kick detection and monitoring system is critical to maintaining wellbore stability. Typically, the gain in pit volume and change in flow rate serve as some of the primary kick indicators. Secondary indicators include borehole pressure, temperature, resistivity, mud properties, and cuttings. While the gain in pit volume can indicate the kick with higher reliability, the downhole measurements in conjunction with high-speed telemetry and advanced real-time processing algorithms can be an effective early warning system, enabling timely mitigation plans. This lecture begins with some basics of wellbore stability, kick indicators, and monitoring systems. Various downhole sensor measurements and their relevance to kick detection are discussed. Both experimental and field examples are presented to illustrate the methodology. Pressure data are analyzed to estimate change in density and correlate it with the type, location, and evolution of the influx along the wellbore. Some innovative ideas on sensor design and realtime data processing for event detection and uncertainty quantification are discussed. One key message from this lecture: Kicks can be catastrophic, but recent and future developments in sensor technology, data processing, and telemetry are enabling timely identification and mitigation plans.

Let's Challenge the Deepwater Well Design Paradigm with Casing Drilling

Deepwater well design has not really evolved in the last half-century. A major design deficiency is the shallow setting depth of the initial conductor casing not leveraging the increasing fracture gradient below the seafloor. The initial conductor setting depth is limited to about 400 feet below the seafloor due to the technical limitations of the jetting process. Jetting uses bit and mud motor technology without pipe rotation to “push” the conductor casing into the formation without pipe rotation which is insufficient for drilling harder sediment. The result is premature slimming of well architecture in the riserless interval leading to narrow drilling operating pressure windows deeper in the well. This deficiency in well design and inefficient mitigation of shallow hazards are reasons deepwater operators may fall short of their well construction objectives. This presentation makes the case for casing drilling as a viable replacement for jetting in the initial conductor. Unlike jetting, casing drilling is a more mechanically efficient drilling system not limited by mud motor output as it uses casing rotation to drill. Casing drilling is well-proven in land and shallow water operations for top-hole drilling efficiency, reducing flat times and mitigating hazard intervals in a single trip. This talk will discuss transitioning casing drilling to the deepwater riserless interval where it can be an enabling technology to deepen the initial conductor depth based on fracture gradient, a mitigant for shallow hazards, and a means of providing deepwater operators a more optimal well design for a successful outcome.

Biofuel's role in the low carbon landscape - Joint Event with IchemE

Abstract: Biofuels can be a suitable alternative to fossil fuels as low-carbon fuels because they mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and the impact of climate change caused by transportation and power generation. For this purpose, industry has focused on increasing production and improving the efficiency of the production process of biofuels and Sustainable Aviation Fuel. The need for sustainable transportation fuels is a critical issue in all societies globally. Post Covid the need for personal F2F interaction and international travel has been reinforced. We can’t do without it. For ground transportation, electrification with batteries in EVs is growing rapidly. Though this has distance limitations. For long distance air transportation, the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel must grow as quickly as we can create it. However, this is neither easy nor cheap. SAF and Biofuels have both technical and ESG challenges. The key to the S-sustainability is the use of bio renewable and recycled feedstocks. These are in limited supply and have wide variability nationally and regionally. We don’t want to have another food vs fuel conflict, as we have seen in the past. What we need to determine is how best can we create the most sustainable and cost-effective ways of producing SAF and Biofuels? One of the tried and proven ways of determining how best to produce SAF & Biofuels, or any hydrocarbon fuel, is by utilising process simulation. To do this accurately each potential feedstock must be characterised, mathematically/digitally, so that the behaviour of each molecule, or groups of molecules, can be determined in a variety of process equipment. Simulation also offers a very effective way of tracking the Carbon Intensity of each molecule as it passes and changes through a process which can provide the CI audit trail of any fuel product. A critical step in certifying a fuel product’s greenness. Our obligation, as the SPE, is that we must address all aspects of creating this sustainable part of the cyclic economy. In turn we must communicate these to the regulatory authorities and to the public to create clear understanding of the technical and ESG issues. This is so that the most effective regulatory polices are put in place which most benefit society both today and create a cleaner environment in the future, for our children and grandchildren. This presentation will delve into some of the diverse feedstocks and the process synthesis routes for making SAF and Biofuels, addressing some of the issues around scalability and efficiency of these feedstocks. It will discuss process simulation technology which can be used to select economically viable and sustainable SAF and Bio Fuel production schemes, create and design new processes, optimise their operations, track CI, energy efficiency and minimise lifecycle cumulative emissions.

Carbon Capture and Storage and the CO2 Storage Resources Management System (SRMS)

Rawdon Seager, Gaffney, Cline & Associates Abstract: After the lecture, members will understand the importance of carbon capture and storage in the transition to a lower carbon future, and know how to evaluate quantities consistently using the SRMS. As part of the international effort to combat global warming, significant attention is being given to ways to sequester (store for the long-term) carbon dioxide, which is a major contributor to the greenhouse effect. It is therefore critical that there is a universal means to record the storable quantities by recognizing the maturity of the projects to be implemented and the confidence that can be placed in the estimated volumes to be sequestered. This talk will look at some of the ways in which carbon dioxide can be stored and provide a review of the CO2 Storage Resources Management System (SRMS) framework prepared by the Society of Petroleum Engineers to classify and categorize the storable quantities. The talk will cover: • An overview of carbon capture, utilization and storage, including the role of greenhouse gasses in global warming • Discussion of typical modes of storage of carbon dioxide in saline aquifers and depleted oil and gas fields • Review of the CO2 Storage Resources Management System (SRMS), including principles and key definitions • Discussion of economics and evaluation methods • A hypothetical example Biography: Rawdon Seager is a reservoir engineer with over 50 years’ experience in the international oil and gas arena with Shell, Huffco and, since 1985, Gaffney, Cline & Associates, where he is Chief Reservoir Engineer and Global Director of Quality Assurance. He is currently ivolved in CCS studies and application of the SRMS. He has a BSc in Physics from Bristol University and an MSc in Petroleum Engineering from Imperial College, London. Rawdon is past Chairman of the SPE Oil and Gas Reserves Committee and past member of the Board and current Chair of the Reserves Definitions Committee of the SPEE.

Distinguished Lecturer- Recommended Practice for Safe Well Positioning, Separation, and Surveying

Lecture Title: Recommended Practice for Safe Well Positioning, Separation, and Surveying Lecturer’s Name: Jonathan Dale Lightfoot Abstract: Ensuring accurate wellbore placement and safe construction is crucial in all subsurface borehole applications. To this end, the American Petroleum Institute (API) has developed a new technical standard titled API Recommended Practice 78, Wellbore Surveying and Positioning (RP 78) which covers a wide range of industries including oil and gas, geothermal, carbon sequestration, coalbed methane, horizontal directional drilling, mineral ventilation, and scientific coring. The standard was created by independent consultants, industry experts, academia, and public and private energy operators with the goal of providing modern engineering practices for subsurface boring industries. The Operator's Wellbore Survey Group (OWSG), a sub-committee of the Industry Steering Committee on Wellbore Survey Accuracy (ISCWSA), initiated the development of API RP 78 to address the lack of minimum industry-wide standards for safe wellbore positioning and separation from sub-surface hazards. The ISCWSA is equivalent to the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Wellbore Positioning Technical Section. API RP 78 is available through API's standards development process and aims to improve confidence in wellbore subsurface position and reduce uncertainty and will hopefully be embraced by all wellbore construction participants with industry-wide adoption. Biography: Jonathan Lightfoot is a Principal and Senior Drilling Engineering Consultant at Oxy. His primary role at Oxy is to support global drilling operations as a Directional Drilling Specialist. He has 26 years of oil and gas industry experience specializing in wellbore positioning and directional drilling. Lightfoot chairs the Operator’s Wellbore Survey Group (OWSG), a subcommittee of the SPE Wellbore Positioning Technical Section (WPTS), and is the vice-chair of the API RP 78 Task Group developing its Recommended Practice for Surveying and Wellbore Positioning. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

DL: Well DecomMISSION - Develop Sustainable Approaches to Decarbonize and Repurpose Wells?

Talk title: Well DecomMISSION - Develop Sustainable Approaches to Decarbonize and Repurpose Wells? Presenter : Steven Allan Canny from Weatherford International Time: Sep 10, 2024, from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm. A light lunch will be served after the talk. Location: Schlumberger Doll Research, One Hampshire Street, Cambridge, MA 02139, United States Abstract: Join the Well DecomMISSION: to create sustainable approaches to decarbonize and repurpose wells. Well decommissioning has come a long way in 100+ years in its complexity, scale and cost magnitude. However at its core it still maintains a dual barrier approach to preventing potential flow to the surface from permeable water and hydrocarbon zones. The fundamental geological approaches remain similar, and technology has also developed far beyond the early equipment used. Delivering higher precision in the measurement, preparation and qualification of wellbores. The scale of operations has also changed dramatically, with factory and simultaneous operation projects are now commonplace, far beyond the labour intensive operations of the 1900’s. All these factors combine to reduce the risk on placing lateral isolation in wells. There is a series of challenges which haven’t yet been overcome in 100+ years – how can we sustainably decarbonize upstream oil & gas operations through sustainable well decommissioning? Our Well DecomMISSION. The presentation reviews the challenges to creating sustainability in well decommissioning. Starting with asset economics, an overview of well decommissioning subsurface and well operation fundamentals. Then it pivots to enablement, discussing the design of disruptive operation structures and development of sustainable well decommissioning operations which reduce environmental and financial risk. The considerations for design for decommissioning and carbon capture re-purposing are discussed, to assess the governance and structures needed to create value from the wellbore. The closing discussions focus on the vision that sustainable well decommissioning at the end of its production life, should be the enabler to decarbonize well operations through repurposing the asset. Enabling higher hydrocarbon recovery rates through sidetrack drilling and bypassed oil production, or repurposing the wellbore to carbon capture and sequestration. Biography : Steven Allan Canny is the Global Director for Well Abandonment with Weatherford, based in the United Arab Emirated. He has worked across five continents in engineering, sales, regional management and global leadership roles in the well decommissioning sector. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Design Engineering, and has granted and pending patents in well intervention and decommissioning equipment. He is also an active author on the subject with 38 publications, including 13 manuscripts. Most recently Steven has developed the EPSm contracting approach for end to end Well Decommissioning and commercialized several first in the sector in Central Asia, South East Asia and Australasia.

DL Technical Talk September 2024

"Integrated Geoscience and Engineering to Improve Hydraulic Fracturing and Field Development". Abstract: “Integrating multiple types of modern field technologies systematically has led to improvements in field testing, understanding, and acreage development in geologically complex formations. These efforts are proving to be invaluable when coupled across disciplines and combined with simulations for predictive evaluations. Several field case studies will be provided to illustrate the benefits of the multi-pronged diagnostics with modeling approach, which include pairing fiber optics, sealed wellbore pressure monitoring, formation imaging, calipers, and microseismic together. Multi-disciplinary datasets from before, during, and after stimulations will be combined into geomechanics models to inform stage and cluster level details derived from field diagnostics that include stimulation and production performance behaviors. An additional case study will connect post-stimulation diagnostics by including downhole erosion imaging, offset strain monitoring, and production warmback analysis to provide comprehensive insight for field development. These case studies illustrate how improved geomechanics modeling, application of field data, collection of the necessary diagnostics, and testing methods may be used across disciplines to effectively inform geoscience and reservoir characterization understanding, completion design, diagnostics, resource development, and well performance. Biography: Erich Kerr is SM Energy Company 's Engineering Supervisor for Reservoir Characterization, leading completions design, simulation, and exploration / resource evaluations.

CO2 Storage Resource Management System – Application and Learnings from World’s First Booking

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is experiencing rapid growth and the ability to classify and compare projects across the globe is of increasing importance. The CO2 Storage Resources Management System (SRMS) has been designed to provide the common framework and is increasingly being applied across the industry. The SRMS has been seeded from the widely used Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS), which makes it ideal for industry professionals familiar with the concepts of classification and categorization. The SRMS was applied to an onshore project by an Australian oil and gas company in 2021 and led to the world’s first public reporting of CO2 storage quantities under the SRMS classification system. Standard reserves workflows and systems were modified for CO2 evaluation and reporting, resulting in a streamlined processes throughout the organization. Multiple benefits were realized such as standardized evaluation and reporting, a unified language across the company, and enhanced formality in CCUS reporting. As more CCUS projects are proposed, a robust classification system has become vital to communicate consistent terminology, valuation methodologies, and reporting systems for identifying project status and differential between projects. The application of the SRMS is highly recommended for stakeholders, financiers, or regulatory bodies involved in the commercial development of a CCUS project. Biography: Paul Lyford is the Reserves and Resources Manager at Santos Ltd, an Australian oil and gas company and the first to add CO2 Storage resources to the annual reserves report. Paul has over 30 years experience and has been involved in many field developments across Australia. He has a background in reservoir engineering, operations, planning, strategy and commercial. He is a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers Australia, a member of Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and member of Society of Petroleum Evaluation engineers (SPEE). Paul holds an honors degree and PhD in Engineering from University of Melbourne and post graduate qualifications in Finance. Paul is currently a member of the SPE CO2 Storage Resources Committee (CSRC) and involved with the SPE SRMS subcommittee charged with updating the SRMS.

Distinguished Lecture: CO2-EOR and Sequestration: Challenges on Pore Scale

Distinguished Lecture: Erdal Ozkan CO2-EOR and Sequestration: Challenges on Pore Scale Date: 8th October Start: 18:00 Location: BVEG Schiffgraben 47, Hannover, Germany Abstract: Although the awareness of the environmental impact of energy production and utilization are on the rise, predictions for the next 30-50 years indicate a growing energy demand of the increasing world population. Moreover, the recent experiences have revealed the risks of an immediate departure from the conventional energy sources and the importance of achieving a sustainable energy diversity. These developments unequivocally point to the continuing contribution of oil and gas to the supply of uninterrupted and effordable energy with an increased awarness of its environmental impact. This presentation addresses CO2-EOR and sequestration as critical contributions of the oil and gas industry to a sustainable energy diversity with environmental conscience. Although CO2-EOR and sequestration can be applied in conventional and unconventional reservoirs, the size and abundance of tight, unconventional reservoirs offer special opportunities. However, the micrometer to nanometer pore sizes of unconventional reservoirs pose challenges to our conventional reservoir wisdom and take us out of our comfort zone. In this presentation, CO2-EOR and sequestration are discussed with an emphasis on the challenges in small-/ultra-small-porosity reservoirs. The research highlights are presented, together with laboratory and field examples, to emphasize the role of complex molecular level reactions between the injected/stored fluids with the resident fluids and reservoir rock during CO2-EOR and sequestration. The "main takeaway" of this presentation is that CO2-EOR and sequestration are critical technologies for our contribution to energy diversity — but we must look beyond our conventional reservoir wisdom and develop effective technologies to meet the energy demand while reducing its carbon footprint, Biography: Erdal Ozkan is a professor of Petroleum Engineering at Colorado School of Mines. His areas of expertise are reservoir engineering, fluid flow in porous media, PTA/RTA, and unconventional reservoirs. Ozkan is a Distinguished Member of SPE and the recipient of the Lester C. Uren, Formation Evaluation, and Rocky Mountain North America Reservoir Description and Dynamics awards. He has served as the SPE Reservoir Technical Director, Co-Executive Editor of SPEREE, and Chief Editor of the Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering. Ozkan has over 170 technical papers, one book, and several book chapters. He is also a former SPE Distinguished Lecturer (2011-2012) .

January 2025 Meeting - DL Kyle Murray Recovering Valuable Elements from Subsurface Brines

2025 Kickoff Meeting! Please join us as we kick of 2025 with DL Dr. Kyle Murray who will be presenting " Pathway for Recovering Valuable Elements of Interest from Subsurface Brines and Oilfield Produced Waters ". In this presentation, Dr. Murray will assess how elements of interest (EOI) in produced waters and downhole brines might be recovered. He will review the current commodity markets, characterization of waters and wastes for EOI concentrations, and computation of gross values of EOI. Technologies that are best economically favorable for extraction of EOI will also be reviewed. This promises to be a topic of great interest as solutions to produced water disposal become more and more restricted. BIO Dr. Kyle E. Murray is the Principal Scientist of Murray GeoConsulting, LLC. He earned a Ph.D. in Geological Engineering from Colorado School of Mines and has worked on geoscience projects since 1995. Dr. Murray’s experience as a consultant or researcher is in hydrogeology, natural resources and GIS databases, water resources, induced seismicity, produced water management, and resource recovery. His current focus is to evaluate produced water from the oil and gas industry, characterize it for elements of interest (EOI), and pursue economically viable alternatives to recovering critical minerals and other EOI from produced water, other waters, and wastes.

March 2025 Meeting - DL Dr. Leen Weijers - Making Unconventionals Competitive

Wondering how to make your unconventional well competitive? Come join us at our March meeting when DL Dr. Leen Weijers will present " Making Unconventionals Competitive – Minimizing the Cost per Barrel Oil ".In this presentation Dr. Weijers will show how cost of drilling and completion has been cut in about half for shale wells over the last decade through efficiency gains and innovations in workflow. He will also look at how well production has roughly doubled through a focus to increase both the extent and intensity of the created hydraulic fracture system. The key take-away from this presentation is that our industry is capable of wide-ranging and rapid innovation when free market forces are unleashed to produce the cheapest barrel possible. BIO Dr. Leen Weijers is VP of Engineering at Liberty Oilfield Services and served as its Business Manager at Liberty’s founding. Leen worked at Pinnacle Technologies from 1995 to 2011, where he oversaw development of a commercial fracture growth simulator, FracproPT. Leen has authored dozens of publications and contributed a chapter to the recent SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Monograph. Leen completed his doctoral research at the Faculty of Mining and Petroleum Engineering at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands.
