CHEMICAL INJECTION
​
10:40AM - 11:20AM IDENTIFYING AND CLOSING GAPS IN CHEMICAL INJECTION PROCESSES
​​
“What we want is to make the gaps in our chemical injection smaller. We know gaps exist everywhere, so when we talk about data and how it is handled timely data, clean data and verified information, is so important. It would help the industry a lot to understand where changes occur, so that the gaps aren't growing in a blind spot.” - Leading oil & gas operator
​
-
Learn how to minimize operational gaps in chemical injection and prevent blind spots. of Automation Technology based on criticality of treatment
-
Understand the importance of clean, veri ied data and timely information in detecting and addressing changes.
-
Explore tools and techniques to ensure real-time insights into chemical injection adjustments.​
CHEMICAL EOR (ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY)
11:20AM - 11:50AM ENHANCING PRODUCTION IN UNCONVENTIONAL WELLS: THE CASE FOR CHEMICAL RESTIMULATION
​
​​Traditional acid stimulation, effective in carbonate reservoirs, struggles in unconventional plays due to complex mineralogy, limited penetration, and poor fluid distribution, making it inconsistent and often uneconomical.
​
-
Addresses permeability issues, phase trapping, and scale deposition, leading to improved well clean-up and fracture conductivity through chemical restimulation.
-
Cost-effective alternatives to acid stimulation while reducing corrosion risks and supporting more stable production outcomes in unconventional wells.

ROUND TABLE DISCUSSIONS
​
2:20PM – 3:00PM FOCUSING ON THE BASICS OF CHEMICAL SELECTION, APPLICATION & INJECTION
​​​​
​​Following the success of the 2024 Back-to-Basics Deep-Dive Workshop, we are thrilled to bring this highly acclaimed session back for 2025. Last year, attendees gained valuable insights into the evolving landscape of chemical programs and the growing need to balance innovation with foundational principles. In 2024, participants from across the oil ield sector acknowledged the critical importance of revisiting core chemical management practices while integrating advanced solutions. As chemical management programs expand and teams innovate, maintaining adherence to tried-and-true basics emerged as a shared challenge. This year, we aim to take the conversation further, providing actionable strategies to optimize chemical programs while respecting fundamental best practices.
