    Session Chairs:
    Lucas Bazan, Bazan Consulting
    Rebekah Shipman, Reservoir Data

    This session will highlight current industry trends in completion design and how completion intensity and development practices have evolved across major basins. Speakers will address where unconventional development is headed and what that shift demands of completion design, well spacing, and development strategy.

    This session covers the engineering decisions and field practices that translate a completions design into a successfully executed stimulation treatment. Topics include perforation strategy and cluster spacing, fluid and proppant system selection, and pump schedule design. Discussion will address real-time treatment monitoring and diagnostics, common execution challenges, and how design assumptions are validated or adjusted based on field results. The session emphasizes practical lessons learned from execution across varying reservoir conditions and how treatment design decisions tie back to overall well productivity and economics.
