Completion Monitoring with a Purpose:
The Technology and Value of Fiber Optics
Dennis Dria, Myden Energy Consulting
Fiber-optic distributed temperature and distributed acoustic sensing (DTS and DAS), alone and in combination with complementary diagnostic monitoring such as tracers and microseismic, have been shown to provide value to operators who use these technologies as part of their field development and surveillance strategies. This presentation will briefly introduce how distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) works and the type of monitoring information it can provide. The majority of the presentation will address several examples in which operating companies have reported the magnitude of the associated economic benefit associated with DFOS in terms of increased production rate, increased estimated recoverable HC and increased project NPV in unconventional resource plays.

Diagnostic Evidence for Advancing Diversion-aided Completions
Matthew Lahman, Halliburton
Fiber optic technologies (DTS/DAS) and production logging measurements in North America have repeatedly demonstrated that a real and material problem with respect to fluid exit efficiency per stage exists. Results and observations indicate that the maximum pressure drop across the perforations (i.e., limited-entry conditions) only persists for a few minutes after proppant reaches the designed casing exit points due to erosion effects at the perforations. This observation suggests that limited-entry alone is not sufficient to control the distribution of fluid, proppant, and stimulation energy across a given number of casing exit points in a stage. This presentation will describe the current state of diversion technology being used in new completions to impact flow-splitting, which in turn has a drastic influence on the top technical drivers of net present value (NPV).

Matthew Lahman, Global Product Champion Matthew began his career in 2008 as a hydraulic fracturing field professional working in the Haynesville/Bossier Shale, and tight gas formations in N. Louisiana and E. Texas, including technical oversight on over 600 unconventional fracturing stages. In his current role Matthew leverages his practical field experience in the research and development (R&D) and global support of applied engineering methods to maximize the conductive exposed induced fracture area generated through stimulation to improve recovery factors. He facilitates collaboration and field process development between geographies and disciplines in support of Halliburtons strategic objective to provide innovative solutions that make immediate and positive impact for oil and gas operators. He has been a member of SPE for 8 years and holds a B.S. from Louisiana Tech University.
