Latest reports show that the Eagle Ford is
currently producing 1.09 million barrels of
oil per day – a staggering number that is
even outperforming the Bakken. However,
the biggest points of contention surrounding
Eagle Ford wells are not how to get them
producing large volumes of oil but more
critically, how to keep them producing. A
recent Wood Mckenzie study shows that most
Eagle Ford wells typically drop off between
70 and 80 % in the first year. What is critical
to offset these declines and ensure that every
well reaches the highest possible net present
value, is for Eagle Ford operators to identify
the optimal production techniques to increase
EURs and extend the life of every well drilled.

optimize well spacing to minimize production
declines?

Studies have shown that choking a well could
improve the long-term recovery between
10-15% over a 30-year period – however,
what is the optimum choke strategy to
employ? How do you tailor choke strategies
to specific pressure regimes across Eagle
Ford reservoirs? And alongside that, what
artificial lift techniques have proven to yield
the highest production rates? What are the
optimum methods to manage sand and avoid
costly equipment failures? How can you

The two days will see VP’s, managers and
technical experts in Eagle Ford production,
discuss the following topics:

In light of so many questions and very little
available answers, we are delighted to
present for the first time ever, The Eagle
Ford Production, Artificial Lift and Choke
Management Congress 2014, taking place
in Houston on January 29 and 30. This is the
first congress designed solely for production
professionals in Eagle Ford and will be
bringing together EP experts from across the
play, to examine how Eagle Ford Operators
are selecting and optimizing artificial
lift techniques, well spacing and choke
management strategies to manage sharp
declines in production and increase EURs.

DAY 1: ARTIFICAL LIFT  CHOKE
MANAGEMENT
Day 1 will start by examining how a leading
Eagle Ford operator has designed their
primary, secondary and tertiary recovery
strategies to directly increase EUR. It will
look at how to calculate a reliable inflow

life of an Eagle Ford well. The next section
will cover well interference and frac hits determining the optimum well spacing to
maxmize production. Finally, the two days
will conclude with a discussion on identifying
optimum strategies for designing and
investing in surface infrastructure and will

  • 2. SAVE $400 Latest reports show that the Eagle Ford is currently producing 1.09 million barrels of oil per day – a staggering number that is even outperforming the Bakken. However, the biggest points of contention surrounding Eagle Ford wells are not how to get them producing large volumes of oil but more critically, how to keep them producing. A recent Wood Mckenzie study shows that most Eagle Ford wells typically drop off between 70 and 80 % in the first year. What is critical to offset these declines and ensure that every well reaches the highest possible net present value, is for Eagle Ford operators to identify the optimal production techniques to increase EURs and extend the life of every well drilled. optimize well spacing to minimize production declines? Studies have shown that choking a well could improve the long-term recovery between 10-15% over a 30-year period – however, what is the optimum choke strategy to employ? How do you tailor choke strategies to specific pressure regimes across Eagle Ford reservoirs? And alongside that, what artificial lift techniques have proven to yield the highest production rates? What are the optimum methods to manage sand and avoid costly equipment failures? How can you The two days will see VP’s, managers and technical experts in Eagle Ford production, discuss the following topics: In light of so many questions and very little available answers, we are delighted to present for the first time ever, The Eagle Ford Production, Artificial Lift and Choke Management Congress 2014, taking place in Houston on January 29 and 30. This is the first congress designed solely for production professionals in Eagle Ford and will be bringing together EP experts from across the play, to examine how Eagle Ford Operators are selecting and optimizing artificial lift techniques, well spacing and choke management strategies to manage sharp declines in production and increase EURs. DAY 1: ARTIFICAL LIFT CHOKE MANAGEMENT Day 1 will start by examining how a leading Eagle Ford operator has designed their primary, secondary and tertiary recovery strategies to directly increase EUR. It will look at how to calculate a reliable inflow Sponsorship And Exhibition Opportunities Available At The Congress Need to generate new sales leads, launch a new product, engage key decision makers, build new future business relationships in key markets, or simply educate the industry about a new product? Then you need to exhibit at the Eagle Ford Artificial Lift Choke Management Congress 2014. Our busy exhibit area is an integral part of the Congress and is of genuine practical value to delegates, who are looking for new solutions and technologies. Exhibiting at the congress will help you position yourself as a market leader and centre of excellence to the key decision makers in the industry. For further information, please contact: info@american-business-conferences.com REGISTER BY FRIDAY NOVEMBER 22, 2013 performance relationship before moving onto several case studies on how operators are selecting between and optimizing different artificial lift techniques such as Rod Pumps, ESPs, Gas Lifts and Plunger Lifts. The discussion will then move to discuss how to tailor choke strategies to different Eagle Ford reservoirs before looking at optimal strategies for controlling sand. DAY 2: CHEMICAL TREATMENT, WELL SPACING EOR Day 2 will start by examining different chemical treatments to effectively treat Paraffin in Eagle Ford wells. It will then discuss the use of automation systems to monitor well sites before exploring the effectiveness of Tertiary recovery methods like Waterfloods and CO2 to extend the life of an Eagle Ford well. The next section will cover well interference and frac hits determining the optimum well spacing to maxmize production. Finally, the two days will conclude with a discussion on identifying optimum strategies for designing and investing in surface infrastructure and will finish with a discussion on how operator’s are handling waste and salt water disposal.
