This course applies integrated production optimization (IPO) principles to Permian shale wells.

Participants should be able to do the following after this course:

• Quantify shale properties essential to well design.
• Develop a well concept combining well geometry selection with fracture geometry and spacing to maximize productivity and improve recovery specifically in liquid-rich shale formations.
• Develop a conceptual drilling design for the well trajectory and bit and drilling fluid selection.
• Develop the conceptual hydraulic fracture design that considers fluid and proppant selection and an injection schedule engineered to maximize well productivity and hydrocarbon recovery.
• Address environmental risks associated with actual well drilling and completion operations.
• Assess the IPO well inflow performance and gain insight for future well designs.
• Maximize well performance consider production and facility constraints, gap analysis, and artificial lift.

The 5-day IPO-Shale course includes these units

• Integrated Reservoir Characterization
• Well Concept
• Conceptual Drilling Design
• Conceptual Hydraulic Fracture Design
• Implementation
• Well Performance Evaluation
• Optimization
