LEARNING BENEFITS:
There Is Still Significant Room For Cost Reduction In Horizontal Drilling In Western Canada's Shale Plays...
...whether operating in the Bakken, Cardium, Viking, Montney, Duvernay or other emerging shale plays, improvements can and are being made at every stage of horizontal drilling from building the curve to inserting casing to extending the lateral and hole cleaning.
Horizontal Drilling Canada 2013 is taking place in Calgary on September 18 and 19 and is the only congress focused entirely on drilling for drilling professionals in Western Canada. The congress will host discussions direct from drilling executives, directors, managers and engineers explaining case studies on how they have achieved maximum drill efficiency in the most prolific WCSB plays.
Case Studies Will Focus On:
EXTENDED REACH DRILLING: How operators are drilling low cost, high speed, extended reach lateral wells in Western Canadian shale plays
WELLBORE PLACEMENT: How operators are using geomechanical and seismic data to decide on wellbore orientation and facilitate maximum recovery completions
WELLBORE DESIGN: Strategies for designing and constructing the wellbore to facilitate completions, attain target lateral length and increase the speed of drilling
HOLE CLEANING & TORQUE & DRAG: Examining fluid systems and mechanical techniques for cleaning the wellbore to reduce torque and drag and obtain a smoother, more rapidly drilled wellbore
CASING, PRESSURE MAINTENANCE & HOLE STABILITY: Effectively running casing to full depth, managing pressured zones and mitigating lost circulation
TOOL SELECTION: Selecting optimal performance, low cost, high durability tools to minimize tool failure in Western Canadian drilling operations.
