SPE Workshop: Unlocking the Montney, Success Through Change
SPE WORKSHOP
As the Montney fairway continues to evolve, so too have the players. The pace of development has
altered the landscape of the basin as volumes continue to grow through ongoing price volatility and
dynamic political regimes in the global market. With this has come changes to technology, strategies
and structure. The long-term vision
for the play remains positive which
reflects current performance trends,
robust economics, and prudent
corporate strategy and execution.
At a time of critical growth and
development of the play, this SPE
Montney Workshop aims to engage,
collaborate and educate those involved
with the play and those interested in
understanding the development of this
world-class resource.

Session Chairpersons: Thomas McCarthy, Painted Pony Energy Kris Watson, NCS Multistage
Development plans constantly change in response to results attained and evolving technologies. In order to understand the impacts, strengths, and weaknesses of a development plan, operators must rapidly absorb and react to changes in performance, timelines, logistics and economic conditions. This session will explore the technical considerations, such as geology vs engineering, that impact field development.

Session Chairpersons: Matt Desroches, Murphy Oil Corporation Nicholas Miles, Weatherford
The expedition of stimulation fluid recovery has seen positive success with the use of Hydraulic Jet Pump. Stabilization of flow and extended production time have become achievable through means of Gas Lift. The reasoning behind their success, along with field specific applications, are defined and explained. Finally, with every form of lift comes the inevitable discussion/debate of downhole tubulars. Case studies regarding this ever vital piece of the puzzle will be discussed.

Session Chairpersons: Brad Makowecki, Crew Energy Thomas McCarthy, Painted Pony Energy
The cyclical nature of the petroleum industry presents major challenges in developing long term strategies. Successful operators will have effective plans in terms of reservoir depletion, capital investment and market implications. This session explores the different motivations and goals that affect the strategies and approaches that various operators take in development planning.
n Presentation 1: A Systematic Method for Distinguishing Between Sub-surface and Engineering Influence on Well Performance in the MontneyBen Stephenson, Shell Canada
Bigger, faster pinpoint completions: more stages, more sand, higher rates—and no runaway fracs.
Multistage Unlimited® pinpoint fracturing delivers maximum SRV with far less risk of frac hits and well bashing during high-density field development, compared with plug-and-perf. You put fracs where you want them, and you control how much sand you pump into each one, preventing “super clusters” that can hurt production from offset wells.
