Meet Us at the 2026 SPE Workshop: Drilling and Completions – Optimizing for Tomorrow, Driving Efficiency Today, 20-22 April, Lake Louise, Alberta
Subsurface Dynamics is pleased to announce our participation in the 2026 SPE Workshop: Drilling and Completions – Optimizing for Tomorrow, Driving Efficiency Today, taking place April 20–22, 2026, Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada
This forward-looking workshop brings together drilling engineers, completion specialists, reservoir engineers, and technology innovators to discuss practical solutions for improving operational efficiency while preparing for the next generation of unconventional resource development.
Why This Workshop Is Important for Unconventional Operators
As unconventional assets mature and capital discipline tightens, operators are increasingly focused on:
- Improving drilling efficiency
- Optimizing completion design
- Reducing non-productive time (NPT)
- Managing parent-child well interactions
- Enhancing hydraulic fracturing performance
- Integrating real-time data into field execution workflows
Subsurface Dynamics will be actively participating in discussions around:
- Hydraulic fracturing modeling
- Flowback Analysis (FBA) for early-time diagnostics
- Real-time frac optimization
- Data-driven drilling and completion workflows
- Fracture diagnostics and performance benchmarking
- Integrated reservoir and completion optimization strategies
The workshop’s collaborative format allows for deep technical dialogue around the practical challenges of optimizing drilling and completions in modern unconventional plays.
