Tien Do: A Proven Fracture Geometry Control Methodology To Prevent H2S Production, Reduce Water Cut And Improve Well Performance In The Williston Basin

All are welcome as we join Principal Engineer, Tien Do, Founder and CEO of InDZone Consulting to learn about A Proven Fracture Geometry Control Methodology To Prevent H2S Production, Reduce Water Cut And Improve Well Performance In The Williston Basin

In the past decade, increased H2S production from wells has raised health and safety concerns, reduced well economics and become increasingly problematic for operators and midstream service providers.

H2S and excessive water production have been identified in the areas where stress barriers in the upper and lower Bakken shales are not sufficient to contain fracture height generated by hydraulic stimulation. As a result, fractures grow into undesired zones that have strong presence of anhydrite to generate large amounts of sour gas.

This technical presentation combines many researches, technical papers in the attempt to understand the sources of H2S production in the basin. It also shares case studies of a fracture geometry control methodology in combination with optimized completion design to prevent H2S production, reduce water cut and improve well performance. This technique has proven successful on 11 wells in Dunn county and William county, ND.

Lean In Luncheon – March 16

Uma Gopaldass: From Cubicles to Boardroom – How Courageous Women are Side-stepping Imposter Syndrome to Get a Seat at the Most Powerful Tables

Not too long ago, I was stuck among a sea of mid-management roles in a couple of incredibly wealthy, global, public-listed firms. The more I strove for leadership positions, working myself into a ditch, the more I hit the cinderblock of career advancement caving in on me. Apparently, these positions were never meant for a person like me. What is a person like “me,” you ask? It is a person like you – someone hardworking, striving for the best, constantly giving up my personal life to divert more energy into my professional success, articulating very well at performance reviews, doing everything my management wanted, training, learning, training…. You get the picture.

So, I flipped the switch. I side-stepped and started my own consulting company. That was 7 years ago, I am now in paid Boardrooms, sitting among some powerful people, making some big waves in the world. I only wish I had believed in myself a lot sooner. See, women are more prone to imposter syndrome in the professional world than men. Join me to find out how you can overcome this.”
