This lecture was the keynote address for session seven at the 2024 SPE HFTC. The lecture is centered around the basic principles and physics used to properly design and execute a hydraulic fracture design so that it delivers the optimum deliverability and maximizes the NPV of the treatment. The lecture begins with some history followed by a discussion of the basic physics used to design a frac treatment. This is followed by a section in which the current “Frac Baby Frac” syndrome currently in use by the unconventional shale operators has led to a misunderstanding and misuse of these basic fundamentals. The final section provides some production data that supports the value of a properly engineered fracturing treatment. The one idea or conclusion that needs to be left with the audience is that Newtonian physics does apply to all stimulation treatments and if proper engineering and execution techniques are followed a dramatic improvement in well economics and productivity can be achieved.

The Clearwater Formation has become one of Canada's most economic oil plays, recently surpassing 150,000 bbl/d. The four largest producers, responsible for 80% of total production, are now shifting focus from aggressive expansion to production optimization and waterflooding. Meanwhile, the next wave of producers is leveraging insights from early development to explore new Clearwater regions. This panel will begin with an analyst-driven overview of the play, followed by a discussion with emerging operators on their strategies, challenges, and opportunities in this evolving landscape.
