Session 3: Drilling and Completions

08 Dec 2026

Drilling and completions remain central to the success of tight-gas developments, where well performance is highly sensitive to design choices and execution quality. This session will examine how different approaches to well construction and completion design influence productivity, consistency, and overall development outcomes in tight-gas reservoirs.

The session will address practical challenges encountered during drilling and completion operations, such as well placement, operational efficiency, and the impact of completion design on long-term performance. Field experience will demonstrate how current practices are evolving and contributing to improved decision-making.

By bringing together diverse perspectives and real field experience, the session aims to highlight how robust planning and execution can enhance well performance, reduce uncertainty, and support the more effective development of tight-gas resources.
