Houston, TX - As the push for longer laterals continues, irrespective of acreage position, size and budget, operators everywhere are talking about achieving greater gains in drilling efficiencies, with end goals including but not limited to…

⇒  Trying to drill wells fast and at the lowest cost possible

⇒  Being able to get wells online effectively and timely

⇒  Minimizing flat stops on critical paths

⇒  Getting more production out of the ground

⇒  Trying to get the lowest unit price for disruptive technologies

While no two basins are created alike, operators and technology providers have widely recognized that with slight adjustments, drilling practices from one region can be effectively applied in other formations. 

American Business Conferences’ annual Horizontal Drilling Efficiency USA 2019 congress returns to Houston this May with a speaker line-up and agenda like none other, giving operators and technology providers the chance to leverage the experience of drilling professionals who are bettering their drilling practices to drive those operational efficiencies across the US’ most profitable shale plays.

The expert speaker line-up includes:

• Michael McCoy, COO, Colony HB2 Energy
• Dena Demboski, VP Drilling & Completions, UpCurve Energy
• Natalya Sachivichik, Operations Planning Manager, Encino Energy
