INTRODUCTIONHZ Drilling, Multi-Stage Hydraulic Fracturing:
Today is the norm throughout the industryVery High Drilling & Completion costs In WCSB over 5600 HZ Wells Drilled
Over 4000 Wells for Gas and Liquid RichCost > 6 MM $$/wellEUR > 4 BcfeLow Commodity Prices Predicted
SUCCESS IS RESERVOIR SPECIFIC“ONE SIZE FITS ALL” IS NOT THE ANSWERFIELD ANALOGIES ARE DANGEREOUS

INTRODUCTION• HZ-MSF well EUR is critical!
Stimulated Reservoir Volume (SRV)Fracture Contact Area (FCA)Linear Flow SpreadsheetsDecline Curve Analysis Methods
Power Law“Modified”“Stretched”
Conventional Reservoir Engineering ModelsConsider right balance between reservoir properties and

Motivation: WHY?
(AEO2012)(1) by US EIA cut TRR by 42%
Production Performance Overestimated
Reservoir Engineering Abandoned
Well Stimulation Misrepresented
Arbitrary EUR Evaluation Techniques

Motivation: WHY?• Stimulated Reservoir Volume (SRV)
Mike Mayerhofer = “Godfather” of SRVBetween 2006 – 2010 many SPE papers, articles
SPE 163833 (February 4 – 6, 2013)“Change of heart” Authors distance themselves from SRVCONCLUDE: “Reservoir permeability is the main driver…..”
