SPE Japan Section was pleased to invite Mr. Michael F. Rainbolt for the 3rd distinguished lecturer program for 2021-2022 on May 19, 2022 (Zoom Meeting).

 

Date: 10:00-11:30 JST, May 19, 2022

Topic: What You Need to Know About Fracture Driven Interactions

Lecturer: Michael F. Rainbolt, Petroleum Training Institute Nigeria

 

Michael F. Rainbolt is a registered professional engineer and recently, senior technical advisor with Abra Controls Corporation in Houston, Tx. He has co-authored multiple SPE papers and was featured in an SPE Podcast on fracture driven interactions in February 2020.

 

In this lecturer program, he introduced an outline of fracture driven interactions (FDIs), formerly referred to as frac hits. He described FDI characteristics along with the root causes. He also presented case studies from various shale plays, one of which was a mitigation trial. He showed examples from actual completion operations and debunked FDI myths such as creating barriers by leaving offset wells shut-in. He finally made suggestions on how to deal with the problems.

 

SPE Japan is glad to have him as one of the distinguished lecturer this year. We appreciate his informative talks and we are looking forward to seeing the Japan Section members in the next distinguished lecture program.

 

Thank you.
