The technical program raised their level of understanding of current energy technologies and better prepared them to represent U.S. energy interests abroad. “The training did a great job of explaining what the different O&G companies specialized in and detailed how the machinery actually works.” “I liked both Dan Domeracki’s (Schlumberger) and Aaron Russell’s (Halliburton) presentations on hydraulic fracturing.” “The Deep Sea interactive discussion at FMC was fascinating.” According to the survey responses, the economic and policy presentations by Rice University and Citi added a fundamental understanding of the international trading, pricing and governmental issues facing energy providers. Participants felt that this portion of the course was extremely beneficial and provided the foundation for a comprehensive overview of international energy trading. “I thought the Rice discussion of OPEC and the discussions of where oil and gas production stand globally and in the United States were most useful.” Overall, the ratings of the FSO course commended the program and expressed sincere appreciation for PESA and FSI for providing this opportunity. “The training was phenomenal. The support of FSI and PESA was invaluable and helped participants get the most out of the course. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience. Even with my engineering and energy background, I still learned an incredible amount from this course.” 3 PESA News

Horizontal Drilling Workshopat Sunbelt Steel: Operating inChallenging Market ConditionsDr. Robello Samuel, a Halliburton Fellow and Dr. Robello Samuel, a Halliburton Fellow and professor at University ofprofessor at University of Houston, led the Houston, led a technical workshop where he presented the principlesHorizontal Drilling Workshop. and challenges of horizontal drilling on July 15, 2015. This PESA workshop was part of an ongoing mission to offer technical training PESA Thanks Our seminars that foster knowledge sharing across many levels of the Generous Sponsors dynamic energy landscape. The workshop was sponsored by Sunbelt Steel, a premium provider of custom built alloy steel to leading energy companies. It was held at Sunbelt’s new corporate headquarters, and also offered attendees a tour of their downtown Houston manufacturing facility. The horizontal drilling workshop focused on innovative technology methods now being used at over fifteen North American hydraulic fracturing sites that condense drilling operations from months into just days. These new technologies include walking rigs easily relocated on sites for multi-pad drilling, and vertical sandcastle designs with solar panels, drastically reducing truckloads and environmental footprint. Dr. Samuel stressed that horizontal drilling paired with hydraulic fracturing now accounts for over eighty percent of drilling, making it essential to develop innovative tools and equipment to withstand harsh environments at depths of up to 30,000 feet. He presented several new concepts in use for well engineering optimization that drastically improve hydraulic efficiency and offered a glance at future optimization solutions. The multi-variable modeling methods used to optimize drilling operations include a list of petro physical properties and drilling optimization challenges such as well integrity, wellbore placement, zonal isolation, drillstring integrity and hydraulics. “Engineering well design optimization is achieved by gathering imaging data in real-time to access and interpret drilling data analytics,” stated Dr. Samuel, author of over eight books and 150 technical papers. “Future leading edge technologies now being researched include fiber optics, multi point sensors, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence and automation poised to advance efficiencies to a new level.” Process engineer at Halliburton and graduate student from University of Houston Aniket Kumar gave examples of modeling done to minimize tubular casing wear and improve drilling operation parameters. Each attendee at the workshop received a copy of one of Dr. Samuel’s books 501 Solved Problems and Calculations for Drilling Operations or Horizontal Drilling Engineering, used as textbooks in his courses at University of Houston where he has taught for twelve years. Breakfast was sponsored by Timken Steel, manufacturer of high performance custom steel products.10 PESA News
