Managing Reservoir Depletion and Parent-Child Well Communication
May 19, 2022 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Ovintiv undertakes a comprehensive approach towards understanding and managing reservoir depletion and parent-child communication associated with the development of oil and gas in the Montney unconventional resource play. In its British Columbia acreage, Ovintiv has drilled and completed over 500 horizontal wells utilizing a cube-style development tailored for stacked unconventional assets. This style of multi-zone and multi-phase development increases the importance of adequately assessing and managing the potential impacts of reservoir depletion and parent-child communication associated with new and existing wells. Ovintiv is currently developing and testing several workflows to identify key factors and trends that would help guide mitigation techniques for future development. These workflows include the assessment of key economic, geologic, diagnostic and operational variables to improve the evaluation and understanding of the effects and reduce the impacts of reservoir depletion and parent-child communication.
