1:30	Bob Barba, Triple R Energy Partners A process to reduce refrac risk to operators reluctant to try organic shale refracs. Less than 1% of the 36,000 candidates in the US have been refracced by less than 5% of the operators. Increasing that share to 10% should increase US production by 1.3 million BOPD and 13 BCFD without adding a single drilling rig! Process includes employing state of the art reservoir characterization for candidate selection, employing the latest technology for the refracs, and providing capital to operators along with our expertise to maximize production at the lowest possible cost and risk to the operator.

Wednesday – Presentations with time for interaction

11:00	Gage McCoy, Qube Qube Technologies Continuous Emissions Monitoring Solution
11:15	Thomas Smith, GeoBrines International Our patented conformance control and improvement technology, ICIT™, is a method of “sweeping heat” more effectively from an EGS reservoir system. This concept is a high temperature adaptation of the 1980’s vintage practice of sweeping residual oil from waterfloods using viscous polymers. Our patents provide a selective treatment which injects a Calcium-rich brine and CO2 to form Calcite in high flow capacity fractures that preferentially cool the reservoir rock.
11:30	Galen Dillewyn, NuTech East Texas, Finding what we have forgotten
11:45	Geoffrey Thyne, Esal Increase oil recovery and lower water production with our patented technology
1:15	Eivind Moen, Comitt Well Solutions EXCITE Technology Platform
1:30	Emilie Gentry, TEVERRA ConvertDeck: TEVERRA has developed a well screening tool specifically for selecting the appropriate petroleum wells to convert to geothermal electricity or heat. The ConvertDeck tool takes input data associated with well design, reservoir properties, historical production, existing infrastructure, financial metrics, and more, and quantifies the potential power production and calculates cost and economic value of the geothermal resource. ConvertDeck analyzes the geothermal production for both electricity and direct-use (heating/cooling) opportunities while also examining the local utilization market potential. The tool can be used in two ways. It can identify wells that will achieve pre-determined financial requirements given the input data, or it can identify potential use case scenarios and then estimate the economic value of the different scenarios. This decreases evaluation time by combining expert analysis from multiple disciplines into one intuitive platform. Decreasing evaluation time produces faster and more cost-effective analysis.:
1:45	Scott Mildren, Tech Limit The Tech Limit Toolbox: A workflow-based software tool used to evaluate geomechanical risk associated with site containment; also predicts, plans and monitors pore pressure and wellbore stability for drilling.
2:00	Rachael Moreland, Liberty Liberty Power Innovations: integrated alternative fuel and power solutions for remote applications
2:15	Terry O'Sullivan, Vapor Condensation Technologies In reservoirs containing condensable vapor, large and repeatable changes in Gamma Ray can be observed when a well is cooled and condensate accumulates around the well. In heavy oil steam floods, GR can increase by a factor of 100 over a period of hours as a well is cooled. GR returns to normal when the well reheats. Radon is soluble in condensate, so this dynamic method observes the transport and adsorption or diffusion of radon nanoparticles as condensate forms or vaporizes. When the transient high GR signal can be generated in a cooled well, it will precisely repeat weeks or months later - or it will identify intervals where reservoir conditions have changed. This patented method needs to be tested in unconventional reservoirs.
2:30	Denis Potapov, DGP Capital Middle market investment bank and financial advisory firm
3:15	Tadd Wallace, Universal Chemical Solutions C3 Oil Field Services is a EOR/IOR service company. We implement our technology called Single Shot IOR. It is a waterless EOR/IOR system that we hold the patents and have the operational expertise to preform the service. Our main market is the vertical well market, and wells that are underperforming.
