Technical Webinar_Optimizing Recovery in the Utica Shale through Technical Efficiency

Abstract
The Utica Shale has moved beyond drilling speed; today, recovery efficiency is the 
key differentiator. As pressure depletion and parent–child interference shape well 
performance, value creation depends on disciplined execution. This session will 
highlight how integrating advanced diagnostics, geomechanics, and physics
guided planning can unlock greater gas recovery per foot drilled. Attendees will 
gain actionable insights to optimize recovery, improve economics, and minimize 
environmental impact in mature shale plays.
