Choose the right perspective
Match the basin and well type to yours, since completions for unconventional shale wells differ from deepwater or conventional completions. Also match the level, because an engineer or team lead can speak to design and field execution while a manager or chief can speak to standards, budgets and service contracts.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you test and change completion designs, and how do you judge whether a change worked?
- 02How do you manage frac crews and service companies to hold cost and schedule?
- 03When do refracs or interventions make sense compared with drilling new wells?
