Energy Transition – It’s the industry’s battle to lose. What transition really means and the industry’s path to success. Info...
Unconventional resources require just as much effort on economics as they do on subsurface understanding. Practices to simplify the corporate financial and subsurface models for the purpose of communicating between teams have led companies to make suboptimal decisions. Those decisions have severely impacted corporate returns. An integrated methodology will better serve unconventional E&Ps and their investors. Info...

This presentation discusses the geoscience and engineering aspects based on the work of a small study group convened for this purpose as well as a large-scale 'crowd-source' effort by the presenter. The presentation covers geology, geophysics, petrophysics, PVT, productions/operations, well spacing/placement, reservoir engineering (Diagnostics, RTA/PTA, modelling), reserves (DCA), and data analytics topics, as well as the integration of these topics.

Concepts & Framework from a combination of experiences of being a CTO of an upstream operator and the CEO of a digital solutions provider with global scale and reach. The talk will use the unconventional resource experience as backdrop for how to utilize emerging trends in digital technology, create groundbreaking advances in operating models, explore the ongoing drive from executive initiatives who want to embrace digital but often encounter obstacles in execution, and successfully implement an enterprise level change management program where technology could be utilized to reshape business workflows and decision frameworks from the old and traditional to the new and agile.

The upstream oil and gas industry has faced significant economic, geopolitical and public health challenges over the last year. Although there has been some recent industry recovery, cyclical volatility has always been present and expected to continue. This presentation revisits industry proven best practices for project and subsurface aspects of unconventional development with context on the value framework for our current industry environment. Key challenges and opportunities for effectively incorporating these practices. This presentation aims to provide thought provoking discussion and engagement on key aspects the industry needs to consider for unconventional evaluations and development moving forward. Info...
Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) has been a topic of extremely high interest of late. The broad idea is for companies to report their policies and action on ESG issues. This talk will give a perspective on this topic based on the simple perspective of bettering human lives. Info...

There are numerous reasons to promote Cased Hole Formation Evaluation in unconventional reservoirs. Basic cased hole measurements have been offered as commercial measurements for over 50 years but their applications have primarily been reservoir monitoring or as a contingency in cases where openhole logs could not be run. This talk will suggest that CHFE be utilized as an alternative to standard openhole formation evaluation logging to alleviate the risks traditionally associated with openhole logging in horizontal wellbores. This information can then be used to scientifically design a more efficient completion. Info...

Casing damages have been found in many stimulated wells worldwide. While other mechanisms such as mechanical, thermal, and chemical can be responsible, this talk will focus on and clarify geomechanical contributions during and after hydraulic fracturing. Through case studies, key contributors to casing integrity are evaluated with varying casing properties, pipe eccentricities, cement channels, borehole breakouts, injection pressures, as well as different loading mechanics such as compression, shear, or combined. Dynamic rock changes induced by stimulation are quantified and compared to the threshold triggering casing damage. Info...
Geologists working unconventional plays can often be heard complaining that engineers 'just don't want to listen to us’ or that they ‘just want to mow it down’ without consideration of changing geologic factors. Engineers on the other hand are faced with the task of ‘getting it done’ and understandably are looking to find practical and helpful results from geoscience workflows. Info...
BPX Energy is transforming the way we develop assets while generating premier economic returns.
