As drilling operations reach greater depths and lateral lengths, the industry is pushing technological limits in well designs, completions techniques, and fluid management systems. Concurrently, advancements in automation, water use reduction, and sustainable practices are improving operational efficiency and aligning with environmental goals.

Data-driven solutions and automation are transforming the relationship between drilling and completions, enabling real-time decision-making and more integrated operations. This workshop will explore how innovations in stage design, well architecture, and the application of artificial intelligence are optimizing well performance and reducing costs. Insights from recent developments and case studies provide a comprehensive view of how the industry is addressing these critical challenges.

The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) is a not-for-profit organization. Income from this event will be invested back into SPE to support many other Society programs.

When you attend an SPE event, you help provide even more opportunities for industry professionals to enhance their technical and professional competence. Scholarships, certification, the Distinguished Lecturer program, and SPE’s energy education program Energy4me® are just a few examples of programs supported by SPE.
