With oil prices falling to a five year-low in December 2015, the attention of operators working in unconventional plays in North America has turned to how they can reduce the cost of their operations to ensure they remain economical during periods of oil price volatility. As the horizontal drilling phase of unconventional operations represents one of the highest cost drivers, it has now become vital that drilling professionals, ranging from drilling engineers to VPs of drilling, understand what they can do to minimize the cost of horizontal drilling campaigns.

Reducing the cost of the drilling phase of horizontal operation is therefore now the top priority for E&Ps working in unconventional oil and gas plays such as the Bakken, Eagle Ford, Permian Basin, Marcellus, Utica, Woodford, Niobrara, and others.

Focusing exclusively on the horizontal drilling phase and designed specifically for drilling professionals, the Horizontal Drilling: Cost-Reduction Initiative 2015 will provide the first ever platform focusing specifically on practical solutions for reducing the cost of horizontal drilling operations. It will provide cost-reduction solutions for every cost-intensive component of drilling operations, including specific cost-reduction strategies for drilling muds, overall BHA design, casing design, rig selection, drill bit selection, directional tools, LWD and MWD optimization.

All of these cost-reduction strategies will be specific to horizontal drilling operations and will combine to provide a practical toolkit for drilling professionals to create an overall strategy to drive down the cost of their horizontal drilling operations.

DRILLING: The only initiative to provide

in-depth cost-reduction strategies for

every key component of horizontal drilling

operations, showcasing specific cost-

reduction opportunities at the level of drilling

muds, overall BHA design, drilling rigs, drill

bits, directional tools, LWD and MWD and

explaining how they can be translated into an

overall horizontal drilling cost-reduction plan.

• GATHERING THE TRANSFERABLE DRILLING

COST-REDUCTION CASE STUDIES FROM

EVERY KEY PLAY: The only initiative to

provide a play-by-play breakdown of

the top horizontal drilling cost-reduction

strategies coming out of each play, including

the Bakken, Eagle Ford, Permian Basin,

Marcellus, and more, with an emphasis on the

lessons which are transferable between plays.

• GEARED DIRECTLY TOWARDS DRILLING

PROFESSIONALS: The only initiative designed

specifically and exclusively for drilling

engineers who are working in unconventional

oil and gas plays, with every one of the 20

sessions tailored to their job-title specific

needs.

• 100% FOCUSED ON ONSHORE,

HORIZONTAL DRILLING: The only initiative

entirely dedicated to the drilling phase of

horizontal operations, allowing the agenda

to go into minute detail on solutions for every

component of horizontal drilling operations.

• 100% E&P LED: The only horizontal drilling

initiative to be 100% led by operators, with

every presentation coming from a leading E&P

working on horizontal operations.
