IQPC 4th Marcellus Shale Summit: Drilling and Completions

Achieving Technical Excellence in Shale Gas Drilling and Completions as a Means to Increase Well Productivity and Reduce Operational Risk

The economic and energy security benefits of the vast natural gas reserves in the Marcellus Shale Play are substantial. Likewise, the environmental risks, and regulatory concerns are significant considerations for oil & gas companies operating in this play. For the first time, IQPC takes a decidedly technical approach to the complexities and best practices uncovered in pursuing natural gas in the Marcellus regions. The largest reserves are also the most inaccessible, found between 2000 and 7000 feet underground. Natural gas producers have already invested more than $4 billion in Pennsylvania alone in lease and land acquisition, new well drilling, infrastructure development and community partnerships, with an even greater investment expected in the future.

IQPC’s 4th Marcellus Shale Summit will focus on how E&P can implement risk management practices into their hydraulic fracturing operations. This event will provide engineering, drilling & completion, operations, safety professionals from production companies from around the world with the intellectual space to discuss best practices, new technologies, and innovative engineering solutions so they can increase their gas production to meet the market demand for natural gas, while effectively managing and potentially reducing operational risks.

Attendees Will:

Gain insights and strategies for linking technology with the evolution of the Marcellus Shale play

Move theory into practice and examine opportunities to enhance the integrity and efficiency of your well completions

Understand properties of the Shale area and best practices for putting reducing water-related risk and potential damage to other environmentally sensitive resources.
