Well completions represent one of the most capital-intensive and operationally complex phases of the upstream lifecycle. Execution quality during completions directly influences initial production, long-term recovery, and overall capital efficiency. NTG Auburn approaches completions as an integrated engineering and project management function — combining technical depth, operational experience, and disciplined cost control.
With more than 25 years of completions experience, NTG Auburn has supported completion programs across every major producing basin in the United States, working alongside operators of all sizes to execute safe, repeatable, and cost-effective completions.
Deep Basin Experience Across U.S. Resource Plays
NTG Auburn’s completions expertise spans conventional and unconventional assets, with experience across a wide range of reservoir types, completion designs, and operational environments. The team has worked extensively in major U.S. basins, including:
- Delaware Basin
- Eagle Ford
- Haynesville
- Marcellus
- Utica
- Western Oklahoma
This basin diversity allows NTG Auburn to quickly adapt completion strategies to local geology, regulatory requirements, service market conditions, and infrastructure constraints — while applying lessons learned across plays.
Integrated Completion Engineering and Execution
NTG Auburn supports completions from early design through execution and close-out, ensuring technical intent is preserved throughout the operation. Services include:
- Completion design and well architecture planning
- Stimulation strategy development and execution support
- Perforation and stage design optimization
- Facilities and surface interface planning
- Coordination with drilling, production, and facilities teams
By integrating subsurface objectives with operational realities, NTG Auburn helps operators avoid misalignment between design assumptions and field execution.
Capital Discipline Through AFE Development and Cost Control
Effective completions management extends beyond technical execution — it requires rigorous cost discipline. NTG Auburn places strong emphasis on:
- Detailed AFE preparation and validation
- Vendor alignment and scope clarity
- Real-time cost tracking and reporting during execution
- Identification of cost drivers and mitigation of overruns
Constant cost visibility allows operators to manage capital exposure proactively rather than reactively. NTG Auburn’s approach ensures that completions are executed within budget expectations while maintaining safety and performance standards.
A Flexible Completions Partner for Modern Asset Teams
Many operators today operate with lean internal teams, making it difficult to staff full-time completions departments across multiple assets. NTG Auburn provides fractional, on-demand completions leadership, allowing operators to scale technical and project management support as activity levels change.
This model is particularly effective for:
- Operators running intermittent completion campaigns
- Private equity-backed teams focused on capital efficiency
- Asset teams managing multiple basins simultaneously
- Operators entering new plays or development phases
Completions Executed with Accountability
NTG Auburn’s completions project management philosophy is built around accountability — ensuring that designs are executable, costs are controlled, and operations are aligned with broader asset objectives. The result is completions executed with clarity, predictability, and measurable value.
Conclusion: Experience That Shows Up in Execution
Completions success is rarely driven by technology alone — it is driven by experience, discipline, and execution quality. NTG Auburn brings decades of completions expertise, basin-specific knowledge, and cost control rigor to every project.
For operators seeking a completions partner who understands both the technical and financial realities of modern development programs, NTG Auburn delivers completions project management grounded in experience and focused on results.
