“One of the biggest economic opportunities in the oil and gas industry is to increase the recovery factor. In the shale reservoirs we are leaving over 90% of the oil in the ground.”

Fracturing Technology Evolution

Conductivity• Convergent Flow from Transverse Fracs

creates enormous flow velocity near wellbore, and choke points

• Overcome convergent flow issues with high conductivity tail-in proppant

• Overcome the reduced flowrates caused by multi-phase flow in these liquid rich reservoirs, with higher conductivity fracs

• The proppant needs to be strong enough to withstand the increasing closure stress and cyclic loading

Contact Area• To be economical, low perm reservoirs

require large contact areas to drain

• Create multiple transverse fracs, in a horizontal well, & place large volumes of proppant

• Create complex fractures by using techniques such as slickwater, more stages, & more perf density to enable more frac initiation points

• Complex network fracture creation is dependent on formation factors, including brittleness

To Increase Recovery In Shales…..We Need

Dependent upon the reservoir, the industry has attempted several methods to create more Contact Area

– Transverse fracs in horizontal wells

– Longer laterals

– # Stages, spacing, perf density

– Zipper fracs

– Frac Fluids - crosslinked, linear, slickwater, hybrids

– Smaller mesh proppant for transport

– Microseismic to measure

Progress has been made, however….

– Most wells are still under stimulated

– Recovery % is still too low

Contact Area – Techniques To Create More

Contact Area – Creating Complex Network Fracs?

“One Size Does Not Fit All”

The Brittleness of the shale reservoirs greatly influences whether a complex network frac is being created, or a more planer-type frac. Ex. Barnett Eagle Ford

In softer rocks (lower Young’s Modulus), more proppant embedment takes place. Therefore they need higher concentrations of proppant to achieve necessary Conductivity

Conductivity - Connecting The Reservoir & Wellbore

Vertical Well Frac

2 x 200 ft perfs provides 400’ linear feet of intersection with frac

The frac height growth of a vertical frac and a transverse frac are assumed to be the same

The difference is the much smaller area that hydrocarbons have to enter the transverse frac’s wellbore

Horizontal Well Transverse Frac

The 6” casing provides 1.6 linear feet of intersection with frac

Hydrocarbons must travel 250 times faster due to converging flow. Pressure losses are proportional to velocity-squared

2502 = > 62,500 times greater pressure loss

Always need more Conductivity near wellbore in transverse fracs

Hydrocarbons enter 6” casing. Very large pressure drop & high velocities

Conductivity – Proppant Options To Increase % Recovery

Ceramic will have the highest Conductivity and EUR

Sand will have lower Conductivity and EUR

Sometimes 100 mesh Sand is used as a lead-in proppant in slickwater, with expectations it will propagate the fracture network further from the wellbore, given its transport capabilities. The downside is the very low conductivity of 100 mesh.

Often, a combination of all three will be incorporated. Lead with 100 mesh Sand, followed by Sand, and tail-in with Ceramic for strength and higher conductivity. Optimize the percentages to fit the reservoir characteristics.

“Over 150 SPE papers have been written documenting the benefits of increased conductivity on well Production and EUR. Generally, the payout on the additional Proppant investment is less than 2 - 6 months, and increases Production and EUR in a range of 20% to 100%.”

“In liquid-rich or unconventional oil reservoirs, operators have typically sacrificed some contact area to maximize fracture conductivity. They have done this by lowering fluid volumes, pumping gelled fluids, and altering completion practices.

“We came to the Bakken intent on maximizing both Contact Area and Conductivity. Our goal for a Bakken well is to expose five million square feet of reservoir contact area per well. So far the results have been very encouraging.”

Production Drivers:

• Initiated a study of the impact of using primarily small mesh sand, may have on a well’s long term production

Preliminary observations:

• Early production governed by Contact Area

• Longer term production governed by Conductivity

• The early production ( 2mo, 6mo, 12 month) using large volumes of small mesh sand, can fall behind the later production ( 1 to 2 years) of wells using larger mesh or higher conductivity proppant

• The “rocks matter”. High GOR wells have been shown to produce high early production no matter what proppant is used; however, the later production will likely be governed by conductivity.

• Opportunity to protect and improve long term production, with a tail-in of high conductivity ceramic proppant

KRYPTOSPHERE HD

KRYPTOSPHERE is a paradigm shift in improved Conductivity

Competitors Bauxite • KRYPTOSPHERE HD is the strongest, highest conductivity Proppant commercially available today for the industry’s deepest, highest stress wells

• Tested successfully @30,000 psi (industry API RP19C crush test)

• KRYPTOSPHERE HD has 4 times the conductivity of competitors Bauxite Proppant @20,000 psi

• Superior Shape, Surface, Microstructure, and Durability

“Proppant is one of the biggest factors in determining Production and EUR in fracture stimulated wells. It is important that E&P Operators know what Proppant is being used in their wells. Make sure you are getting the Conductivity and Quality you are paying for.”

Proppant Conductivity and Quality in the industry

Page 40: Production Enhancement - csinvestingcsinvesting.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Carbo... · 2019. 10. 18. · Bakken - Liberty Resources Williams County Source: Bakken/Three Forks

The Stakeholders - E&P Operators, Service Companies, Royalty Owners, State Agencies…..

• ………are becoming more aware of the losses to well Production and EUR that can occur when using low quality,low conductivity Chinese ceramic proppants, or other low quality proppants, and the subsequent loss of revenue

• ………are becoming more aware of the need to test Proppant and know what they are paying for. CARBO is committed to quality and testing – everyday.

Industry Awareness of Low Quality Chinese Ceramics

Proppant Quality Matters in Well Production

As an E&P Operator investing $4M – $12M on a well, how much Production & EUR are you sacrificing by using low quality Chinese ceramic proppant?

Chinese 20/40 IDC # 1C

Production & EUR Loss due to Poor Quality:

• Irregular Size &Shape reducingflowrates

• Rough Surfacereducing flowrates

• High Internal Porosityleads to LowStrength & Crushingas Closure StressIncreases

• All lead to ReducedFrac Conductivity

Q3-14 Operations Update• KRYPTOSPHERE – Patent allowed on our innovative, high conductivity proppant

• KRYPTOSPHERE HD

‐ Targeting 12 to 16 GOM Lower Tertiary wells in 2015. Strong likelihood that KRYPTOSPHERE HD will be used by a client in a deep well application during Q4-14.

• SCALEGUARD‐ Commercialization is underway, expect incremental margins over base ceramic

proppant. Large opportunity in liquids-rich, multi-phase flow wells.

• Bakken Operations

‐ A number of multi-well pads in the Bakken are scheduled for quarter-end, the potential exists that one or more could slip into Q4-14. Experiencing some completion delays due to rain.

• We are confident we can replace the volumes associated with the recent (1) client loss, with other client(s)

• Q3-14 ceramic proppant volumes may be similar to Q2-14 results
