TIGHT GAS SANDS FRACTURE STIMULATION OPTIMIZATION
Core Lab has been conducting a joint
industry project directed at improving reservoir characterisation and
optimizing fracture stimulation of tight gas sands.
The large integrated data set allows the benchmarking and production
prediction of tight gas sand reservoirs. The Fracture Stimulation
Optimization Program will be presented along with case histories that
illustrate the various issues facing operators in these types of
reservoirs.
CRITICAL ELEMENTS OF GAS SHALE EVALUATION AIMS
This talk will highlight the key
parameters and data relationships that are critical for identifying
productive gas shales.
In addition, core-log integration techniques for gas shale petrophysical
log models will be presented along with gas-in-place calculations and
estimates of ultimate recovery. Case histories of different gas shale
plays will be utilized to demonstrate the critical elements of Gas Shale
Evaluation.
Full details are presented on the attached flyer including a map of the venue and registration form.
About the Instructor:
Randy Miller is President of Integrated Reservoir Solutions,
a division of Core Laboratories located in Houston, Texas. He has 27
years of experience in the analysis and evaluation of reservoirs both
domestically and internationally. He has conducted and directed over 50
joint industry projects including a Regional Study of the Deepwater Gulf
of Mexico Reservoirs, Reservoir Prediction in Deep Shelf Sandstones Gulf
of Mexico, Tight Gas Sands of North America - Reservoir Characterization
and Fracture Stimulation Optimization and Gas Shales –Reservoir
Characterization and Production Properties. His special interests are
integrating geology, petrophysics, stimulation and production analysis
for optimizing the exploitation of unconventional reservoirs.
Theme: Meeting the Energy Needs of a Growing World Economy
The IPTC is sponsored by among others SPE, AAPG and SEG…. The first was held in Doha attended by >1000 and the second will be later this year in Dubai. In 2008 it will be in this region, in KL, and papers covering everything from Formation Evaluation to integrated studies in Exploration are sought.

The 2009 Symposium will mark the arrival of SPWLA's 50th golden anniversary. Over the years, the industry has witnessed generations of progress in the technologies we use to explore and produce energy resources. The annual symposium has provided a plat form for all members to show case and share many of the technologies we develop and deploy in our daily activities. In honor of this land mark anniversary, the Board of Directors of SPWLA would like to invite your contribution (paper sub mission) to the 50th Annual Symposium to be held in The Woodlands, Texas from June 21 to 24, 2009. The theme of the Symposium will be SPWLA - Past, Present, and Beyond. A special session is planned for presentations highlighting the memorable moments of the society and the crucial developments of technologies that transformed our ways of doing business.
