As operators engage in new price-responsive strategies to react accordingly to the low oil price environment, the big push is on innovative cost cutting and the optimization of existing assets.

Whether switching to new chemical treatments to reduce failures, restructuring equipment to reduce surface facilities costs, or redeploying artificial lift to ensure every pump generates the most revenue possible per day; there are ways reduce costs in both in incremental and transformational ways from the production engineering perspective to ensure wells remain economic.

THE ONLY INITIATIVE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR PRODUCTION PROFESSIONALS

The 3rd in an industry renowned series, this year’s Bakken Artificial Lift Cost Reduction & Production Optimization congress is returning to Denver, entirely dedicated to the optimization and cost reduction of production assets with a focus on identifying the areas of most costly expenditure without compromising production rates.

WHAT’S NEW FOR THIS YEAR?

The 3rd in an industry renowned series, this year’s Bakken Artificial Lift Cost Reduction & Production Optimization 2015 is returning, entirely focused towards the optimization of production operations of Bakken assets to identify the areas of most costly expenditure without compromising production rates.

• MAXIMIZE RECOVERY USING EXISTING EQUIPMENT: Which wells merit ESP application and which don’t? Can 10% more recovery be gleaned by switching a pump to a different well? At what point should it be applied for maximum recovery? Everyone is asking the questions and now, the people who have found the answers are speaking out at the congress.

• REDUCE PRODUCTION OVERHEADS: If production professionals are not currently looking at how to reduce production costs, they could be setting themselves up to be in a lot of trouble in 2015. The congress this year is focused specifically on how to make sure operations remain profitable, even at $50 per barrel.

• EXTRACT MAXIMUM VALUE FROM PRODUCTION ASSETS: As drilling new wells slows down, the pressure is building on production professionals tasked with maximizing recovery from existing wells. This congress is the hub of knowledge exchange on how to make sure no opportunity for extra recovery is missed.

Dealing With Scaling In The Bakken

Carlos Cardenas told attendees at last year’s Bakken Artificial Lift and Production Optimization Congress how he had successfully dealt with scaling and corrosion problems. Leah Mooney reports.

Using Data To Predict Failures In Rod Pump Artificial Lift Systems

University of Southern California professor Raghu Raghavenda explained to attendees of last year’s Woodford Shale Production Optimization Congress in Oklahoma City how computer modelling can help prevent rod pump failures. Leah Mooney reports.

How Well Spacing Affects Production

Down spacing can allow operators to access more of the reservoir and improve reserves but can also cause interference and affect production. Statoil Subsurface Manager Paul Lundy described recent well spacing and interference tests on the Statoil fields in Karnes and DeWitt Counties, Texas to delegates at last year’s Eagle Ford Production Artificial Lift & Choke Management Congress.
