The premier forum for refracturing existing wells across Canada
Welcome to the REFRAC WELLS CANADA 2024 Exhibition & Conference, where Canadian shale operators and upstream service companies will meet with refracturing experts and technology providers in Calgary, Alberta, to share the latest results and explore new methods for refracturing wells.
New developments and techniques have prompted a movement toward refracturing depleted or low-producing wells to combat production challenges in the North American shale market. Producers are now looking at techniques already used in tight rock and vertical wells to revive many existing shale wells with lower production costs.
Over time most horizontal wells will produce at a fraction of their initial rates, and large volumes of oil and gas will remain trapped within the rocks, which could now be extracted through a refracturing process. While the total cost of developing a horizontal well could reach as much as $8 million, a refracturing project could be as low as 25% at around $2 million. In principle, the technique appears logical; however, as operators face challenges of keeping well production up and operating costs down, this conference will have a unique and timely emphasis on de-risking refracturing operations with overall cost-reduction in mind.
With developments in technical know-how, refracturing methods offer new hope for shale operators looking to optimize production. This year’s REFRAC WELLS CANADA 2024 conference is set to become North America’s leading event exclusively for shale operators and a large array of service providers to explore the opportunities in refracturing existing wells to accelerate production and enhance ultimate recovery.
The key focus for this year’s conference will be “sharing results for a shale revolution.” The objective will be to bring shale operators and service companies together with leading industry experts, including new technology providers, government representatives, and policy think tanks, to collaborate and examine new refracturing opportunities and to address the key challenges in reviving shale wells across Canada.
Key topics on this year’s agenda include:
- Making an economic assessment for refracturing low-producing wells
- Developing a well selection criterion and identifying suitable wells to refracture
- How to de-risk refracturing projects from initial investment through to completions
- Cost reduction strategies in oilfield operations to optimize production
- New technologies and technical know-how for a successful refracture
- Operational case studies and post-refracturing diagnostics data
This exhibition and conference will provide a forum for all stakeholders, from shale operators and upstream service providers to leading industry experts and drilling technology companies, to network and build cross-market relationships and discuss the latest results in shale refracturing initiatives for the Canadian shale sector.
