Drill an Evaluation Well
§ Open Hole Logging § Coring § Characterize the Reservoir § Define the Target
§ Dfit or MiniFrac
8
Drill a Horizontal / High Angle Well § LWD consists of Gamma Ray § Well is geosteered to stratigraphy § Pattern match gamma response
to offset logs
SPE 152580
9
Complete the Well § Equally spaced packers or perf
intervals § Spacing between intervals has
been decreasing from 400’ (122m) to as low as 100’ (30m).
10
Stimulate the Well § Stimulation Design is a one size
fits all approach, iterated on empirical data.

Summary and Conclusion •Shale reservoirs are statistical plays üCurrent Practice has limitations
•Well placement strategy dictated by geomechanics
•Geosteering enhances production by maximizing fracable reservoir contact
•Data acquired while drilling has a long shelf life üData used in completion and stimulation
optimization
