DESCRIPTION

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 event 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 productivity in the play. Consisting 100% of operator case studies using real life production data, each presentation will be from work done specifically in the play.

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.
