WELCOME!
This is the Hydraulic Fracturing Technical Section of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE).
This technical section encompasses the subject of hydraulic fracturing technology through online events, online networking, workshops, conferences, and by promoting diversity in the industry.
The purpose of this section shall be to provide a forum from which technical professionals and academia can:
  • Share knowledge, experience, and best practices
  • Identify major issues and technology areas on which to focus cooperation and discussions
  • Maintain and promote industry awareness of related issues and technologies
  • Enhance their own technical competencies that meet the needs of the petroleum industry
We will accomplish our mission through the transfer of knowledge at study groups, monthly meetings, forums, and workshops.

Keynote Speaker: Tien Do, Founder and CEO, InDZone Consulting

Title: Mitigating Parent-Child Interference in the Haynesville Basin Through Engineered Fracture Geometry Control.


Abstract:

Parent–child interference can reduce infill well performance by 20–40% in mature unconventional reservoirs. This presentation shares a Haynesville field case study demonstrating how Frac Geometry Control (FGC) was used to proactively manage fracture propagation and reduce frac-driven interference.
Using production data, pressure diagnostics, and chemical tracers, the study demonstrates that FGC-treated child wells achieved production within ~5% of parent wells, while tracer data showed no detectable communication in evaluated stages.
The case study highlights a practical shift from diagnosing frac hits after the fact to proactively engineering fracture geometry to improve infill development and recovery.

Bio: 

Tien Do is a completions engineering leader with more than 16 years of experience across North America and international operations. She is the Founder and CEO of InDZone Consulting, an independent advisory firm focused on unconventional completions optimization and subsurface risk mitigation. Tien has partnered with more than 30 E&P operators across 15+ major basins in the U.S. and Canada and is the author and co-author of multiple SPE papers and technical case studies. She has delivered more than 100 technical presentations on fracture-driven interaction mitigation, fracture containment, and infill optimization. Prior to launching InDZone, Tien had experience with SLB, Completions Advisor at Whiting Petroleum (now Chord Energy), Director of Operations at Nine Band Operating.
