Tight Oil Eagle Ford 2011

More information on Tight Oil Eagle Ford

The 3rd North American Tight Oil Congress is the first event to focus exclusively on completions and hydraulic fracturing techniques in the Eagle Ford oil window. The congress brings leading experts such as the VP Eagle Ford from Pioneer Natural Resources, the VP Drilling & Technology from Lewis Energy and the Global Lead of Stratigraphy from BP who will consolidate their knowledge to collectively develop methodologies and techniques for maximizing recovery and increasing the profitability of oil production.

Day one will hear operators explaining how they have chosen proppant types and fluid concentrations to develop a recipe for maximum oil recovery in the Eagle Ford. Frac stages and spacing will also each be discussed followed by presentations on frac technologies, frac equipment availability and water sourcing.

Day two will examine how the discontinuous geological characteristics of the Eagle Ford can be understood to enable the effective application of drilling and completions techniques. Reservoir deliverability will be discussed relative to reservoir pressure, lithology, porosity, saturation, permeability to identify how rock characteristics can be exploited to increase recovery. The conference will end with presentations identifying successful drilling techniques and technologies that can be used to improve oil recovery throughout the life of the well including lateral lengths, drill orientations and faulting and steering techniques.
