Coordinating a successful drilling program requires close attention to detail. Knowing how and when crews and equipment will be delivered to the field; understanding the available technology; and, planning for the long term supply of needed resources requires a wide range of actionable information. The DUG™ Eagle Ford technical workshop will combine a number of experts from a wide range upstream sectors to provide a full view of shale gas development from planning to first sales.
2012 agenda to come.

Panel: A Question of Supply (10:20am)
Rigs, downhole tools, pumping equipment, water, and experienced personnel play a vital role in developing the Eagle Ford play. Supplying these items to the field can be a challenge for both operators and service companies. Understanding the potential for shortages, bottlenecks, and possible surpluses is the first step to organizing a successful development strategy.

Panel: Designing the Optimum Eagle Ford Completion (3:15pm)
Eagle Ford completions involve multi-stage fracturing, and the right completions can boost rates and improve ultimate recoveries. The interplay among completion methods, stage lengths, perf locations and spacings, injection rates and proppant concentrations is critical to success. Also crucial to this region are the current advances in water technology. Knowing the proper balance between industrial reuse and conservation can enhance overall operations.
