Fracturing Enhancements and Sustainability

Thursday, 6 February
Waterway Ballroom 1-4
Technical Session
While many technologies assert to deliver major leaps in fracture efficiency, exactly how many papers can be published on strain interpretation ?  The reality is that the true effective gains, like we have seen with the drilling business, are being continually made through small incremental but cumulative improvements in the general nature of fracture execution, logistics and alignment with more sustainable delivery.  This Session will present a number of selected examples of these small incremental gains towards delivering a more effective overall business.
