SPE 2019 CO2 Conference

This one-day short course is the culmination of years of work on on understanding the critical roles that fractures play in oil and gas extraction and flooding. The understandings have accelerated rapidly with the insights coming to industry from the horizontal well revolution. Combining those with the biochemical process awareness from residual oil zone studies makes this the perfect time for this multi-discipline short course subject.

An outstanding lineup of speakers has been recruited to lay out the important science and engineering principles involved in commercial effects* of transmissive fractures. Those topics will be followed by several actual case histories from the Permian & San Juan Basins, the Gulf Coast and Eagle Ford plays. Parallels to other basins and oil and gas plays will be addressed in the panel discussion at the end of the day.
