When: Anytime, at your convenience.
Where: Your Computer
Cost: $100

This webinar will also be available on demand at any time after the live broadcast.

Overview:
Southeastern Oklahoma’s Woodford shale and north-central Arkansas’ Fayetteville shale plays hold trillions of cubic feet of gas in place, and producers are engaged in massive drilling programs to tap the resources. These two shale plays continue to attract drilling dollars, thanks to operators’ success in pushing well costs downward and ultimate recoveries upward. This webinar will look at the superb source-rock characteristics of the Woodford and Fayetteville shales, offer an activity round-up, and delve into the use of microseismic in Woodford shale well completions.  

A copy of the Arkoma Playbook is complimentary with your registration.
     
You will learn:

--geochemistry of the Woodford and Fayetteville shales

--key characteristics that influence productivity

--activity roundup of Woodford and Fayetteville drilling

--recent microseismic mapping results from the Woodford shale

--insights into stimulation size, number of stages, perforation clusters and fracture initiation problems

Dan Jarvie

Dan Jarvie is an analytical and interpretive organic geochemist.  He has studied or been involved in evaluation of conventional petroleum systems around the world, but is most noted for his ongoing work in unconventional shale-gas exploration particularly the Barnett Shale of the Fort Worth Basin, Texas.  His specialties include source rock characterization especially for resource assessments, but also detailed source rock characterization for conventional petroleum systems analysis including bulk and compositional kinetic determinations, high resolution light hydrocarbon and fingerprinting analysis, and pyrolysis studies.

 

He founded Humble Instruments and Humble Geochemical Services in 1987, which were sold to Weatherford International in 2007.  Prior to starting Humble, Dan worked for Delsi, Inc., the manufacturer of the Rock-Eval instrument and then with Wallace Dow at DGSI.  Dan is now president of Worldwide Geochemistry, LLC, working as a consultant to industry.  Worldwide has also established a research lab to evaluate various aspects of unconventional shale-gas and shale-oil petroleum systems as well as conventional petroleum systems.

 

Dan is also an adjunct professor at Texas Christian University (TCU) and a member of the Energy Institute.  In his affiliation with the Energy Institute, he has initiated a research laboratory to provide routine and detailed geochemical analysis.  He also is an affiliate or adjunct professor at Oklahoma University, Dan earned a B.S. from the University of Notre Dame and was mentored in geochemistry by Wallace Dow and Don Baker of Rice University.

Michael J. Mayerhofer

Mr. Mayerhofer is the applied diagnostics engineering manager at Pinnacle, a Halliburton Service. His responsibilities include the application of tiltmeter and microseismic hydraulic fracture mapping results for optimizing fracture completion, well placement and infill drilling strategies, the design and evaluation of hydraulic fracturing treatments, reservoir engineering, and integrated field studies. His seventeen-year involvement with hydraulic fracturing and reservoir engineering includes fundamental research and real field applications in various global producing areas and has resulted in over 30 technical papers and journal articles. Prior to joining Pinnacle Technologies in 1997, he worked for Union Pacific Resources in Ft. Worth. He has a Doctorate in Petroleum Engineering from Mining University Leoben in Austria. He was a member of the SPE Well Completions Committee from 1998 to 2001 and he currently serves on the JPT Editorial Committee.
