Western Canada Frac Sand Forecast 2018-22 Mark Lenko
CDL’s updated Frac Sand Forecast 2018-2022 is a ground-up analysis of historical frac sand usage and forecast of future trends. Each of the major resource plays in Western Canada are analyzed and forecast separately to arrive at this comprehensive look at the entire basin. The foundation is an amalgamation of industry drilling forecasts and recent completion designs (tonnage, mesh size, stages, fluids) feeding into a proprietary Monte Carlo simulation that generates high, expected and low demand forecasts. The granularity of this forecast is unmatched and provides a clear picture of future trends.

Western Canada Plays: The Value of Play-based Type Curve EURs for Resource Plays Mark Lenko
Not all estimated ultimate recoveries (EURs) are created equal. While EURs from production declines are readily available, they do not work for resource play wells. Furthermore, EURs calculated across play types are also inherently inaccurate. This talk will outline a robust forecasting methodology based on play-based type curves and look at insights from EURs in several key resource plays in Western Canada.

SEG International Exposition and 86th Annual General Meeting
Technical Presentation - Towards Interactive QI Workflows
Quantitative interpretation (QI) is an analysis approach that is widely applied to extract detailed geological information from seismic data. Simultaneously, generic 'big data' analysis techniques are evolving rapidly, 'integration' is the goal of most geoscience departments and computer storage, processing speeds and visualization capabilities continue to grow exponentially. A workflow is proposed to harness all these advancements for the development of an interactive interpretation environment. Session: Recent Advances and the Road Ahead

Time: 1:00pm - 1:20pm
