Many factors must be considered in prospecting for unconventional plays. Join experts from DrillingInfo in this complementary webinar that will focus on how to do in-depth analyses that will enable you to make the best business decisions going forward.

The first step in prospecting is targeting, where explorers identify broad areas of opportunity. A review of expiring leases and permitting and drilling activity lays the foundation for more intensive investigations. Building on that, data on production rates, peak rates, well costs and ultimate recoveries firm up the economic picture for particular plays, and particular areas within specific plays.

Once an area of interest is defined, a detailed subsurface picture is established by interpretation of well-log information and integration of production rates and geological characteristics into a cohesive whole. This selection processes results in delineation of prime areas for drilling.

When an unconventional play is under development, best practices are crucial. The webinar experts will show how data on well completion strategies can be leveraged, and how optimum well spacing can be determined. The implications of casing programs, choke sizes, completion strategies and lateral lengths on results will be discussed, and how these data can be used to help make the best business decisions.

Top-tier competitors in the global processing industry know that reliable and safe operation is a key performance differentiator. Improving reliability improves capital returns and operating margins with fewer unplanned equipment failures. That means lower maintenance costs and higher utilization and effective capacity.

More reliable operations tend to be safer.  According to research on oil companies’ environmental, social and governance ratings, or ESG, firms scoring highly on issues like employee safety tend to also produce higher returns on investment.

Real-time dynamic performance monitoring of process machinery such as pumps and compressors is key to enhancing process reliability and safety.

This once meant investing capital and labor in monitors, wires, trenching and complex engineering diagrams for the few compressors and pumps that met the critical justification hurdle for investment.

Today, wireless technology enables the scalable and flexible pump health monitoring solution, which offers an integrated approach to equipment monitoring.

Three top executives—from a major, a large independent with international interests, and a North American-focused operator—talk about their strategies for success, and how unconventional resources fit into their portfolios. Major Royal Dutch Shell is bullish on gas for many reasons, and its investments show a strong commitment to developing shale resources. Shell entered the unconventional resource arena with its purchase of tight-gas assets at Pinedale in the Green River Basin in Wyoming, and followed that with 700,000 additional acres in the Marcellus shale and 250,000 acres in the Eagle Ford shale. Newfield Exploration, a mega-independent with assets in China and Malaysia, has garnered success by pursuing a diversified portfolio and focusing on margins. Newfield objectively evaluates investments and selects those most likely to be successful. This focused diversity has delivered investment flexibility. For U.S. independent SM Energy Co., success has come from a hard evaluation of company strategy. SM Energy transformed itself from a niche PDP acquirer with a large footprint to a company tightly focused on multi-pay basins and emerging plays. It also beefed up its operational and technical control by divesting non-operated properties and seeking high working interests. SM Energy’s new strategy has paid off: reserves are higher, finding costs are much lower and its multiples have improved dramatically.

The South Texas Eagle Ford play has galloped to the front of the shale herd. Its lightning-fast growth has been driven by strong well results across wide expanses. In this webinar, three operators talk about their approaches to the Eagle Ford, and how this play relates to their activities in other unconventional plays. Petrohawk Energy discovered the Eagle Ford play in 2008, when it opened Hawkville Field. Today, the operator continues to fine-tune its completion programs, and reports good results from HiWAY fracture treatments. The company is grappling with immature infrastructure in the play, which is one of the biggest challenges. It holds 300,000 acres it considers commercially productive Private firm Laredo Energy IV stays ultra-ultra-focused on South Texas. Its strengths are landowner relationships and the ability to get acreage through those relationships. It guards its reputation zealously, and is highly engaged in the community of Laredo. The company has deep roots in South Texas, beginning with work in the complex, highly faulted Lobo Trend. Today it works mainly in Webb and Zapata counties, and drills in the Austin Chalk, San Miguel, Escondido and Wilcox, in addition to the Eagle Ford. For El Paso E&P, the Eagle Ford is a focus area. The company holds 170,000 net acres in the play, and 60% of that is in the oily area. It has four rigs at work, and to date has drilled 25 wells. In addition to the Eagle Ford, El Paso has expanded into the Haynesville and Wolfcamp shale plays. Its current programs give it much greater visibility to future growth.

The global shipping industry is under increasing political pressure to reduce emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases. For several years, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has been working on tightening regulations controlling air pollutant emissions from shipping – regulations in Annex VI of the Marpol Convention. IFQC invited Donald Gregory, Director of the Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems Association (EGCSA) to give an overview of the exhaust gas cleaning systems as well as developments and operating experience with them. This Webinar will provide you insight into the marine scrubber technology and help you understand what role it will play meeting the future marine challenges - perfect also for busy executives who do not have time to follow developments on a daily basis! The following questions are answered: What technologies exist to tackle marine emissions? How do these technologies differ? What is the payback period for the scrubber systems? What are the existing challenges for these technologies? What is their operating experience? The Webinar consists of a 30 minute presentation by Gregory and a 30 minute Q&A session. More on the Annex VI of the Marpol Convention: A revised Annex VI was formally approved by IMO in October 2008, and entered into force on July 1, 2010. Its main changes are tighter controls on sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions (via fuel sulfur limits), and on nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions. The first impact is that the sulfur limit for marine fuels used in designated SOx Emission Control Areas (ECAs) was lowered to 1.00 wt% July 2010. Beyond 2010, Annex VI will further tighten sulfur limits both globally and in SOx ECAs. In all cases, abatement measures (such as exhaust gas scrubbing) are permitted as an alternative to using compliant fuels. More on the EGCSA: Member companies of the EGCSA are involved in the development, design and final installed configuration and design approval and acceptance of turnkey exhaust gas cleaning systems to meet the current and future emissions regulations of IMO and where applicable additional regulations introduced by regional and national authorities.
