roundtable discussions
Back by popular demand, join us for another year of roundtable discussions at ERM!
Participate in discipline-specific roundtable discussions that will allow attendees to share knowledge and debate ideas with their peer technical professionals in an open discussion. Roundtables are a structured yet interactive meeting format where participants gather to engage in a collaborative and open exchange of ideas in order to foster dialogue, encourage diverse perspectives, and reach meaningful conclusions they can take back to their working interests.
Four roundtables will be offered focusing on Drilling & Completions, Reservoir Engineering, and Well Life Cycle Management.. A professional specific to each topic will serve as a moderator to facilitate the discussion, but the conversation will be driven entirely by the questions, comments, and interests of the participants as they share their own experience, learn from the experience of others, and debate ideas that are exceptionally relevant to their areas of professional interest.
Well Life Cycle Management
Moderator:
Kevin Eshbaugh
Vice-President - Production, LOLA Energy
This discussion will explore best practices and lessons learned in well life cycle management, from planning & drilling through production, intervention, and end-of-life activities. Participants will discuss key considerations for maintaining asset integrity, optimizing operational performance and production, managing costs, and ensuring regulatory compliance, especially in plug and abandonment (P&A).
Reservoir Engineering
Moderator:
Shawn Janzen
Petroleum Engineering Technologist, Wright & Associates
This session will bring reservoir engineers together to exchange insights on reservoir characterization, performance analysis, production forecasting, reserves evaluation, and recovery optimization. Participants will discuss practical challenges in managing uncertainty, integrating subsurface data, and applying surveillance and modeling techniques to improve decision-making.
Drilling & Completions
Moderator:
Andy Egut
Operations Engineer, Range Resources
This roundtable will provide a forum for discussing current challenges, innovations, and field-proven practices in drilling and completions. Participants will share perspectives on improving drilling efficiency, optimizing completion designs, managing operational risks, and exploring other practical solutions that drive safe, reliable, and cost-effective well execution.
