Session 3: Zonal Isolation
Session Chairs:
Charles Bourgeois, DarkVision
Dick Leonard, Protechnics
This technical session will delve into the intricacies of near-wellbore zonal isolation for unconventional reservoirs completed through hydraulic fracturing. Participants will explore critical techniques for achieving isolation within the casing using different types of frac plugs as well as behind-the-casing methods focused on enhancing cement bond quality. The session will emphasize the significance of zonal isolation, methods to measure its effectiveness, and the best practices necessary to ensure optimal isolation that optimizes hydrocarbon recovery.
