Workshop Description
This unique workshop on hydraulic fracturing in tight gas sands and shales has three sessions. The morning session presented by Dr. Jennifer Miskimins of the Colorado School of Mines will focus on recent advances in hydraulic fracture analytical techniques and how they can be used to evaluate the success of the treatment and characterize the producing reservoir. Emphasis is on the treatment of unconventional reservoirs such as tight gas and shale reservoirs. Jennifer’s examples come primarily from her lengthy experience in Rocky Mountain tight gas reservoirs.

The afternoon session will feature presentations, including case studies, on hydraulic fracturing in tight gas sands in the Permian Basin by Victor Rodriquez of Schlumberger and Stacey Walker of Chevron. George Waters from Schlumberger will give a presentation specific to gas shales completions that will also include case studies. The workshop will conclude with a panel discussion.

Who should attend?

Engineers, field people, geologists, and operators of any company who are interested in learning more about recent developments in hydraulic fracturing stimulation of tight gas sands and shales.
