1040 - 1100 MORNING COFFEE BREAK IN EXHIBIT AREA
1100 - 1130 ECONOMICS OF HANDLING WASTE GAS FROM SHALE PLAYS, AN ARGUMENT FOR ACID GAS DISPOSAL
- Production can be limited by requirements for handling waste products, such as gas or water
- Economics of operations and indeed entire producing regions can be impacted by the above factors
- Acid gas disposal can provide a low emission solution to the benefit of the environment
- Recent changes to the US tax code under section 45Q also can provide an economic incentive to dispose of CO₂
- Case Study - High level economic analysis of an ongoing study with a Permian midstream company

Quick Proposal
Key topics for 2021:
- Making an economic assessment for shale oil and gas production
Understand the economic fundamentals and key business indicators for shale production in the Marcellus & Utica. - Understanding the geology, geophysics, and reservoir fundamentals
Scope out new opportunities for shale production across the Marcellus Shale and Utica-Point Pleasant formations with the latest geological results. - Reducing operational costs and optimizing production with the latest techniques
Assess how new completions strategies are cost-effective and minimize operational and financial risks by adopting the right techniques for the region. - New technological advances and engineering know-how in shale production
Be the first to hear about new innovations for efficient and reliable operations, while ensuring optimum production and enhanced oil recovery. - Maximizing well reliabilities across longer and multistage horizontal wells
Explore the latest advances in well operations and the tools available to achieve longer horizontal wells with more stages along the lateral. - End-user operator case studies and developing a successful program
Gain insight from leading equipment manufacturers and implement strategies that others in the industry are using to ensure optimized production.
