OILFIELD CHEMICAL OPTIMIZATION
KEYNOTE PANEL
9.00AM - 9.40AM UNDERSTAND WHAT E&Ps HAVE BEEN DOING TO OPTIMIZE OILFIELD CHEMICAL USAGE AND REDUCE OPEX
With artificial lift and declining production during the life of a well, efficiency and economics are key. In this keynote panel discussion our experts focus on:
-
The latest optimization strategies to enhance production over the long term.
-
How are E&Ps optimizing wells when production rates, velocity and turbulence decline over time?
-
How treatment dosage is managed as production rates decline?
-
How are E&Ps maintaining low OPEX by optimizing chemicals?
