It’s widely known that refracturing a horizontal well can help to reduce the interaction between so-called parent and child wells by causing a high stress area around the refractured wells and diverting child well fractures away from the parent well.

Many individuals have been affected by the sustained downturn in oil price. Staying current and up-to-date with industry innovations and maintaining your professional network are more important than ever. URTeC is offering a special registration rate to help do just that. A limited number of scholarships for URTeC registration are now available to displaced geoscientists and energy professionals. Eligible applicants will pay just 50% of the current rate for the full conference, including all technical sessions, networking events, and the exhibition.

As the world heads toward what could be a significant shortfall in energy supply relative to demand, it is more important than ever for our industry to help stakeholders understand the contribution of the hydrocarbon sector in balancing that energy equation. To do that, the industry needs individuals who can find, exploit, and appropriately assess reserves and resources. The AAPG DPA – SPE OGRC Petroleum Reserves and Resources Forum will help decision makers better understand the energy resource picture, and help interpreters and investors make more accurate reserve and resource assessments.
