Oil production in the Niobrara has almost doubled from less than 200 barrels per 
day in 2012 to almost 400 barrels per day in 2014, whilst rig counts have more 
than tripled from 20 to 70 in the same period. This rapid expansion is only set 
to accelerate with latest reports showing that Niobrara operators collectively are 
expected to invest over $7 billion in the play in the next year. 
With most of the key acreage bought up and sweet spots now identified, the focus 
of operators in the Niobrara has now moved to maximizing the productivity and 
economics of their wells. To do this they need to identify the optimal well spacing, 
completions techniques and lateral lengths to drive increased production rates. 
The inaugural Niobrara Completions & Well Spacing Congress 2014, will 
be the first to gather up-to-the-minute case studies from the leading E&Ps in the 
Niobrara to determine the completions and well spacing strategies that are optimizing 
productivitiy in the play. Consisting of 100% operator case studies using real 
life production data, each presentation will be from work done specifically in 
the play. 
DAY 1 
Will start by examining the optimal well spacings, overall completions strategies, 
number of fracs per stage and frac sizes for maximizing productivity in the Niobrara. It will 
then compare the success of different completions techniques in the play, including plug & 
perf vs. sliding sleeve, open hole vs. cemented liner and slickwater vs. gel fracs. 
DAY 2 
Will then provide operator insights into the proppant and frac fluid types and volumes 
that are having the most success in Niobrara wells, before analyzing the optimal lateral 
lengths and strategies for using geological data to optimize completions in the play. 
The congress will be an unmissable opportunity for any operator either in the Niobrara 
who wishes to stay competitive, or any company looking to enter the play in the future. 
100% NIOBRARA FOCUSED: Every 
session is based on technical 
strategies specific to the Niobrara 
100% OPERATOR LED: All 
presentations are based on real life 
work done by operators in the field 
BASED ON PRODUCTION DATA: 
Case studies at the congress are based 
on production data from completed 
wells in the Niobrara 
COMPLETIONS, WELL SPACING 
& LATERAL LENGTH FOCUS: With 
completions, well spacing and lateral 
lengths being the key challenges faced 
by Niobrara operators, every session 
at the congress looks at providing 
solutions to them 
BRAND NEW CONTENT: As the first 
operator-led congress on completions 
and well spacing in the Niobrara, all 
the content is exclusive to the congress, 
based on work done in the last 
few months.

  • 2. www.niobrara-well-spacing-completions.com (1) 800 721 3915 info@american-business-conferences.com C O N G R E S S 2 0 1 4 Oil production in the Niobrara has almost doubled from less than 200 barrels per day in 2012 to almost 400 barrels per day in 2014, whilst rig counts have more than tripled from 20 to 70 in the same period. This rapid expansion is only set to accelerate with latest reports showing that Niobrara operators collectively are expected to invest over $7 billion in the play in the next year. With most of the key acreage bought up and sweet spots now identified, the focus of operators in the Niobrara has now moved to maximizing the productivity and economics of their wells. To do this they need to identify the optimal well spacing, completions techniques and lateral lengths to drive increased production rates. The inaugural Niobrara Completions & Well Spacing Congress 2014, will be the first to gather up-to-the-minute case studies from the leading E&Ps in the Niobrara to determine the completions and well spacing strategies that are optimizing productivitiy in the play. Consisting of 100% operator case studies using real life production data, each presentation will be from work done specifically in the play. DAY 1 Will start by examining the optimal well spacings, overall completions strategies, number of fracs per stage and frac sizes for maximizing productivity in the Niobrara. It will then compare the success of different completions techniques in the play, including plug & perf vs. sliding sleeve, open hole vs. cemented liner and slickwater vs. gel fracs. DAY 2 Will then provide operator insights into the proppant and frac fluid types and volumes that are having the most success in Niobrara wells, before analyzing the optimal lateral lengths and strategies for using geological data to optimize completions in the play. The congress will be an unmissable opportunity for any operator either in the Niobrara who wishes to stay competitive, or any company looking to enter the play in the future. 100% NIOBRARA FOCUSED: Every session is based on technical strategies specific to the Niobrara 100% OPERATOR LED: All presentations are based on real life work done by operators in the field BASED ON PRODUCTION DATA: Case studies at the congress are based on production data from completed wells in the Niobrara COMPLETIONS, WELL SPACING & LATERAL LENGTH FOCUS: With completions, well spacing and lateral lengths being the key challenges faced by Niobrara operators, every session at the congress looks at providing solutions to them BRAND NEW CONTENT: As the first operator-led congress on completions and well spacing in the Niobrara, all the content is exclusive to the congress, based on work done in the last few months.
