Consistently economic results in the Mississippi Lime. That is the number one objective for

all Mississippi Lime operators. Despite shallow depths and optimum geochemical levels, the

economics of the wells are proving inconsistent. Operators have invested a lot of money in

this play - we know the geological potential is there - but the critical question going forward

is: how do we make this play work?

Operators need to drill wells with superior economics and they need to drill them more

consistently. The inconsistency of Mississippi Lime well results cannot be isolated to any

one particular factor and the solution therefore, can only be arrived at through a thorough

inter-disciplinary analysis of the key factors currently impacting the profitability of the

play. It is critical to collate latest geological and production data to provide an enhanced

understanding of the geological complexity and the play and more importantly, how these

geological variations have played into completions design, water volumes, artificial lift

selection, well design and sweet spot identification.

The Mississippi Lime Congress 2014: Making It Work will provide practical solutions

through an interdisciplinary approach looking at production optimization techniques,

re-valuating drilling and completion designs and re-assessing water management strategies.

The mission of the Mississippi Lime Congress 2014: Making It Work Congress is two fold...

• INCREASING PRODUCTION

• DECREASING COSTS

The Mississippi Lime Congress 2014: Making It Work has been designed to answer

some of crucial questions:

• Sweet Spot Identification: how can operator’s drill more of the better producing wells and less of the poor ones?

• Drilling & Completions: once the sweet spot has been located, is there a way to drill and complete the wells cheaper, more efficiently and more effectively than what is currently being done?

• Production: how can operator’s best lift these wells based on the geological characteristics in place to ensure pro-longed production to recover and exceed initial costs?

• Managing Operational Costs: is there a way to manage water more cost-efficiently to increase the economic margins per well?

This Is The Only Congress...

aDesigned specifically to answer the biggest question operators have right now: how can we make the economics of the Mississippi Lime wells more consistent and attain superior economics on every well drilled?

aLed by E&Ps focusing on the Mississippi Lime from a solutions-driven perspective. We are the only congress to take a multi-disciplinary approach to cracking the Mississippi Lime code. We will combine production and completions optimization with cost minimization (on water handling strategies)

aTargeted at understanding the geological drivers and production mechanisms for such inconsistent production results

aFocused on finding out how to increase production through production and completions optimization techniques

aLooking at how to optimize water disposal and transport strategies to significantly drive down operational costs
