From Bakken And Three Forks Wells To Identify The
Highest Performing Completion Techniques And
Optimal Well Spacing:
Maximizing Drainage Per Well While Driving Costs Down At
Every Stage Of Completions
Key Issues To Be Discussed Include:
May 28-29 | Denver | Colorado
Technical Insight From 20+ Industry Professionals Including Major
EP Companies Actively Operating In The Bakken  Three Forks
M Follow us @UnconventOilGas
•	 PLUG  PERF VS. SLIDING SLEEVES: Comparing the results of plug and perf vs.
sliding sleeves in the Bakken to identify the highest performing frac
•	 SLICK WATER VS. CROSS LINK VS. HYBRIDS: Analyzing the production results from
the latest pilot tests to examine how the performance of different frac fluids vary
across the Bakken
•	 CEMENTED VS. OPEN HOLE COMPLETIONS: Comparing the results seen from
cemented vs. open hole completions to determine the extent to which performance is
driven by geology
•	 FRAC STAGES - COST VS. INCREASED RECOVERY: Determining the number of frac
stages in which, on a given lateral length, incremental production no longer justifies cost
•	 PROPPANTS - RESIN VS. SAND VS. CERAMIC: Examining the recovery on a resin
coated vs. sand vs. ceramic well to determine the most effective proppant type in
different Bakken fields
•	 WELL SPACING  INTERFERENCE: Presenting data and interpretations on drainage
per well to determine how close wells can be drilled without causing interference
•	 EXTENTION INTO THE DEEPER THREE FORKS BENCHES: Assessing the reservoir
communication between the Bakken  Three Forks to determine the viability of
extending into the lower benches

Day two will start with a discussion on how operators have increased productivity
economically to maximize money spent against return on investment. This will then
be followed by a presentation on key techniques for determining optimal well
density. Latest data and interpretations from high density pilots will be shared to
increase Bakken operators understanding of how close wells can be drilled without
causing interference. The day will then move into discussing the economic viability
of extending into deeper Three Fork benches with case studies on Bakken  Three
Forks communication and economic returns seen from the deeper benches of
the Three Forks. The day will end with determining if lateral stacking has led to significant
increase in production and the point at which production stops justifying the additional
lateral foot drilled.
Day one will be completely dedicated to increasing efficiency at every stage of
completions. The day will start with a keynote address looking into how to optimize
completions and stimulation designs for increased value production in the Bakken,
followed by a discussion on the successful implementation of integrated completions
approaches. The day will then break down to compare the production results seen from
the utilization of a combination of different completions techniques including: plug and perf
vs. sliding sleeve designs, slick water vs. cross link vs. hybrid fluids, cemented
liners vs. open hole completions with swell packers, sand vs. ceramic proppants,
number, length and spacing of frac stages vs. cost.

Day 2: Well Spacing And Three Forks Communication
Day 1: Optimizing Completion Techniques

As Bakken EP companies have now
ascended into full development phase,
the real question now is how to maximize
the productivity of Bakken wells whilst
simultaneously driving down cost.
Completions and well spacing play a huge
role in cost and production efficiency and
mastering the optimization of both aspects
has the ability to significantly transform the
economics of every Bakken well drilled.
Amongst all of the available completion
techniques available to operators, deciding
upon the highest performing frac recipe is
not an easy task. Operators not only need
to look at increasing efficiency at every
stage of completions, but need to do this
in a way that balances increased recovery
with reduced costs. Needless to say, if
funds were unlimited, operators could
spend millions of dollars testing all possible
combinations of frac fluids, proppants,
liners, frac stages and frac spacing to
deduce the optimal recipe for the reservoir
in place. However, as reality would have it,
trial and error on a grand scale is neither
economically viable nor operationally
feasible so, what operators must do is
learn from successes and failures of
other operators with regard to….
•	 Plug  Perf vs. Sliding Sleeves
•	 Slick Water vs. Cross Link vs. Hybrid Fracs
•	 Cemented vs. Open Hole Completions
•	 Cost vs. Increased Recovery Of
Additional Frac Stages
•	 Resin vs. Sand vs. Ceramic Proppants
…thus enabling operators for the first time
ever, to compare and contrast the production
results seen from varying completions across
different Bakken fields.
The second biggest challenge facing Bakken
operators is that of well spacing. Producers
are now down-spacing to fully exploit
the potential of the reservoirs but what is
the optimal spacing? How can operators
increase well density without causing
wellbore interference and pressure drops in
the reservoir? From an economic standpoint,
how many wells are too many? Operators
need to examine data and interpretations
on drain and drillings per well from
latest down spacing pilots to identify
whether or not the right spacing has
been reached and ultimately, determine
how far apart Bakken wells should be
drilled for maximum recovery.

SLIDING SLEEVES: Comparing the results of plug and perf vs. sliding sleeves in the Bakken to identify the highest performing frac • SLICK WATER VS. CROSS LINK VS. HYBRIDS: Analyzing the production results from the latest pilot tests to examine how the performance of different frac fluids vary across the Bakken • CEMENTED VS. OPEN HOLE COMPLETIONS: Comparing the results seen from cemented vs. open hole completions to determine the extent to which performance is driven by geology • FRAC STAGES - COST VS. INCREASED RECOVERY: Determining the number of frac stages in which, on a given lateral length, incremental production no longer justifies cost • PROPPANTS - RESIN VS. SAND VS. CERAMIC: Examining the recovery on a resin coated vs. sand vs. ceramic well to determine the most effective proppant type in different Bakken fields • WELL SPACING INTERFERENCE: Presenting data and interpretations on drainage per well to determine how close wells can be drilled without causing interference • EXTENTION INTO THE DEEPER THREE FORKS BENCHES: Assessing the reservoir communication between the Bakken Three Forks to determine the viability of extending into the lower benches Organized By: Co-Sponsor:
  • 2. The Congress Will Be Held At: Marriott City Center Denver Ballroom A-E 1701 California Street Denver, CO 80202 Phone: 303-297-1300 Web: http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/ dendt-denver-marriott-city-center/ Day two will start with a discussion on how operators have increased productivity economically to maximize money spent against return on investment. This will then be followed by a presentation on key techniques for determining optimal well density. Latest data and interpretations from high density pilots will be shared to increase Bakken operators understanding of how close wells can be drilled without causing interference. The day will then move into discussing the economic viability of extending into deeper Three Fork benches with case studies on Bakken Three Forks communication and economic returns seen from the deeper benches of the Three Forks. The day will end with determining if lateral stacking has led to significant increase in production and the point at which production stops justifying the additional lateral foot drilled. Day one will be completely dedicated to increasing efficiency at every stage of completions. The day will start with a keynote address looking into how to optimize completions and stimulation designs for increased value production in the Bakken, followed by a discussion on the successful implementation of integrated completions approaches. The day will then break down to compare the production results seen from the utilization of a combination of different completions techniques including: plug and perf vs. sliding sleeve designs, slick water vs. cross link vs. hybrid fluids, cemented liners vs. open hole completions with swell packers, sand vs. ceramic proppants, number, length and spacing of frac stages vs. cost. Venue Information: Day 2: Well Spacing And Three Forks Communication Day 1: Optimizing Completion Techniques www.bakken-completions-2014.com  (1)  800  7213915  info@american-business-conferences.com As Bakken EP companies have now ascended into full development phase, the real question now is how to maximize the productivity of Bakken wells whilst simultaneously driving down cost. Completions and well spacing play a huge role in cost and production efficiency and mastering the optimization of both aspects has the ability to significantly transform the economics of every Bakken well drilled. Amongst all of the available completion techniques available to operators, deciding upon the highest performing frac recipe is not an easy task. Operators not only need to look at increasing efficiency at every stage of completions, but need to do this in a way that balances increased recovery with reduced costs. Needless to say, if funds were unlimited, operators could spend millions of dollars testing all possible combinations of frac fluids, proppants, liners, frac stages and frac spacing to deduce the optimal recipe for the reservoir in place. However, as reality would have it, trial and error on a grand scale is neither economically viable nor operationally feasible so, what operators must do is learn from successes and failures of other operators with regard to…. • Plug Perf vs. Sliding Sleeves • Slick Water vs. Cross Link vs. Hybrid Fracs • Cemented vs. Open Hole Completions • Cost vs. Increased Recovery Of Additional Frac Stages • Resin vs. Sand vs. Ceramic Proppants …thus enabling operators for the first time ever, to compare and contrast the production results seen from varying completions across different Bakken fields. The second biggest challenge facing Bakken operators is that of well spacing. Producers are now down-spacing to fully exploit the potential of the reservoirs but what is the optimal spacing? How can operators increase well density without causing wellbore interference and pressure drops in the reservoir? From an economic standpoint, how many wells are too many? Operators need to examine data and interpretations on drain and drillings per well from latest down spacing pilots to identify whether or not the right spacing has been reached and ultimately, determine how far apart Bakken wells should be drilled for maximum recovery.
