Subsurface Dynamics is pleased to announce our participation in the 2026 SPE Workshop: Well Completions for Unconventional Resource Development Optimization and Parent-Child Interaction, taking place April 14–16, 2026, in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

This highly technical SPE workshop brings together leading operators, completion engineers, reservoir engineers, and geoscientists to discuss advancements in hydraulic fracturing optimization, well completion design, and parent-child well interaction management in unconventional resource plays.

Why This Workshop Matters

As unconventional assets mature, optimizing completion design while managing well interference, fracture-driven interactions (FDI), depletion effects, and spacing strategies becomes increasingly critical.

At Subsurface Dynamics, we actively contribute to conversations around:

• Flowback Analysis (FBA) for early-time diagnostics
• Hydraulic fracture modeling and optimization
• Near-wellbore and far-field fracture behavior
• Parent-child well communication and depletion risk
• Real-time frac optimization workflows
• Integrated reservoir and completion data analysis

This workshop provides a collaborative, discussion-based environment to exchange insights on improving capital efficiency and maximizing long-term well productivity.
