Casing Deformations are known to pose a challenge to the efficiency and effectiveness of completion operations in multi-fractured horizontal wells in many basins.
The widespread use of hydraulic fracturing in diverse global geographies has revealed an array of deformation modes and suggests high benefit in understanding deformation drivers. This will support the development of best practices and ongoing development of technologies that increase system tolerance for deformation, facilitate mitigation or if deformations do occur, enable good decisions during recovery operations.

This workshop aims to allow those experienced in or working with casing deformations to engage in concentrated cross-disciplinary sharing regarding this topic. Initial sessions will set the stage through case studies and discussion of best practices, leading to discussion of emerging technologies. While the initial focus will be on hydraulic fracturing applications, the knowledge being gained in this domain can be transposed to other points in the well life (for instance, refracturing) and different applications (enhanced geothermal systems and others).
ATTENDING THIS WORKSHOP SUPPORTS THE E&P INDUSTRY
The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) is a not-for-profit organization. Income from this event will be invested back into SPE to support many other Society programs.
When you attend an SPE event, you help provide even more opportunities for industry professionals to enhance their technical and professional competence. Scholarships, certification, the Distinguished Lecturer program, and SPE’s energy education program Energy4me® are just a few examples of programs supported by SPE.
