Operator Challenges for Shale Plays

• Accurate characterization of the shale reservoir in vertical wells 

• Optimal wellbore placement in horizontal wells  – geo-steering the “sweet spot”  

• Optimal frac design and stage placement along the horizontal wellbore 

Laboratories / Wireline / Surface Logging Systems 

Logging While Drilling (LWD) / Surface Logging Systems 

Stimulation / Completions / Micro-seismic

On the Job Monitoring is Critical

Real Time Monitoring

• Control Pumps (to vary pump rate on the fly)

• Blenders (to vary prop concentration on the fly)

• Hydration Units (to vary chemicals as needed)

Engineering Station

• To run stimulation Software

• Monitor fracture critical parameters

• Make engineering decisions on the fly

Real-time Capability

• Transmit Data Via Satellite Link

• Fracture Analysis

• Replay Monitoring Plots On Multiple Monitors

• Step Rate & Mini-Frac Analysis

• Pump In-Flow Back

• Pressure Decline

Real Time & Engineering Tools

Coiled Tubing Services

20

Milling out Frac Plugs & TCP

The milling out of the frac plugs or completion becomesa critical operation.

Coiled Tubing should be used for this operations as ithas the capability to:

Continually drill

Minimize the damage

Minimize time

Well Testing and Flowback Services

A complete frac flowback package should be

used after each well is completed

• Flow lines

• Manual & Hydraulic Choke Manifolds

• Pressurized proppant/sand knockout vessels

• Three & four phase test separators

• Tankage to Manage Proppant Returns

• In-Line/Closed Loop Testing and PipeCleaning/Dewatering

Controlled flowback/cleanup operations beforeentering the production lines and facilities is thekey to optimizing the well performance after alloperations are completed.

Stimulation Evaluation and Optimization

22

Micro-Seismic Services

• Well Site fracture mapping can be

beneficial to:

•  Evaluation of the fracture evolution inreal time and take appropriate stepsto optimize the stage

• Off the Well Site fracture mapping can

•  Reveal anomalous drainage patterns

• Wellbore interference• Inefficient completion designs

Shale Development Challenges

How do I cut wellcosts to makethese wells moreeconomic?

How do I manage

gas/oil shaledifferences?

How do weensure we aregeo-steeringeffectively?

How can I drill thebuild section andlateral morequickly?

How do I knowwhere to place mywells?

How can Iintegrate multiple

datasets to makebetter decision?

Can I get highquality open holelogs in longhorizontal

wellbores?

What about shalesweet spotidentification?

How do Imaximize fractureconductivity?

How do I achievethe most effective

multi-zone fracstimulation?

Which is better – an open hole orcased holecompletion?

Should I considerswitching to ahybrid fracdesign?

How can Idetermine if myhydraulic fracs aresuccessful?

What methods

can I use toinitiate the fracflowbackprocess?

Is there a methodto recover frac

fluids in a moreenvironmentally safe manner?

How can life-of-well interventionsbe accomplishedcost effectively ?

How can I re-enter

depleted wellsand rejuvenateproduction?

At what point inthe life of the welldo I consider

re-fracturing ?
