1. SPE Workshop: The Montney Play
SPE WORKSHOP
As one of the bright spots in Canada’s oil and gas industry, the Montney fairway continues to attract
investment, and has now grown to represent 25% of the nation’s gas supply since its humble beginnings.
Despite challenging market conditions, a turbulent political environment, and excess supply from our
neighbors to the south, Montney operators have demonstrated tremendous resilience and ingenuity.
The pace at which these creative innovations and collaborative efforts are being applied has accelerated over
the last two years leading to new opportunities which will be discussed with some of the industry’s leading
professionals at the SPE Montney Workshop.
This workshop is designed to engage and educate through lively panel discussions and case study
presentations outlining peers’ successes & failures, evolving operational efficiencies, and emerging concerns.
It will take a holistic approach that includes the integration of geosciences with reservoir, completion, and
production engineering disciplines.

Workshop Format
Workshops maximize the exchange of ideas among attendees
and presenters through brief technical presentations followed
by extended Q&A periods. Focused topics attract an informed
audience eager to discuss issues critical to advancing both
technology and best practices.
Many of the presentations are in the form of case studies,
highlighting engineering achievements and lessons learned. In
order to stimulate frank discussion, no proceedings are published
and members of the press are not invited to attend.
On behalf of the Montney Workshop Committee and invited speakers, SPE Canada is pleased to make a donation of $500 to
Heart for Home Haiti, a registered Canadian charity operating in Port Salut, Haiti. Heart for Home Haiti is providing aid in the
form of food, clean water and shelter to Haitians impacted by Hurricane Matthew. This donation has been made at the request
of the committee, in lieu of speaker and committee gifts.

4. McDaniel & Associates is actively evaluating all
major resource plays in the Western Canadian
Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) on behalf of our
clients who are leading development and pushing
technology in many of these plays.
McDaniel has been evaluating the Montney from
the early days in B.C. to the current world class

The commercial boundaries of the Montney fairway continue to expand
as operators engage the challenges of exploration and economic
proficiency. All of this is happening within a strenuous commodity price
environment as producers look to extract more value from higher liquids
rich plays. This session will review the variations and boundaries.

Did you Know....
In April 2016, the SPE Canadian Educational Trust (formerly the
Petroleum Society of Canada’s 50th Anniversary Trust Fund) was
dissolved and a new entity was formed called the SPE Canadian
Educational Foundation. The new governance structure will allow
the Foundation to play an active role through the creation of
new programs and society outreach initiatives to benefit the SPE
membership in the Canadian Region.
Watch for an email being sent in the next couple weeks with
more information about how you can get involved and/or make a
donation to support the Foundation.
