Since 2013, INPEX has conducted information gathering and technical research to start shale oil / gas development projects in North America. For the results of 5years of research，INPEX decided to purchase Eagle Ford shale oil / gas asset from the previous operator in 2018. Also, we recognized cultural differences in shale development industry from conventional petroleum research & development industry from this research. There are some gaps between the previous operator’s standards and INPEX technical standards.
INPEX intended to follow the basic operation of the previous operator but was forced to modify some operation specification or procedure to ensure our technical standards.
In this paper, we introduce the INPEX’s first shale oil / gas field development project in North America including some discussions made to ensure the safety of this project.
The content of this presentation is as follows,
1. Background of the project
2. Project summary
3. Basic well design
4. Our drilling engineering
