Invitation for the SPE Production Study Group participation
We are looking for people who will be willing to present case studies, best practices, technology updates, lessons learned, etc. on the following major topics for the Dallas SPE study group.
· Gas well deliquification/de-watering techniques
· Hydraulic fracturing and horizontal well modeling
· Completion design and optimization
· Revitalizing mature field production
· HS & E related to production
· Production monitoring and surveillance
· Gathering system design/optimization for gas and oil production
· Enhanced recovery techniques
· Other
If you have a topic, not listed above, please forward it to the study group team (Syed.Hamid@Halliburton.com; Rmartinez@excoresources.com; Mofazzal.Bhuiyan@ihs.com). Your active participation in this endeavor will help members gain insight into the engineering practices and eventually build a strong knowledge-based SPE.
