Fracture Geometry, Well Performance and Proppant Design

Tuesday, 6 February
Waterway Ballroom 5-8
Technical
This session will begin with a keynote discussion on factors affecting fracture height in the Vaca Muerta, followed by an assortment of papers on fracture geometry, well orientation and in-basin sand performance. After the break we will move into three papers dealing with proppant transport and flowback control.
