SC-09 | Shale and Tight Reservoir Technical Analysis
Society of Petroleum Engineers
Saturday, 20 July – Sunday, 21 July 2019, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. | Denver, Colorado
Who Should Attend
This course is intended for engineers, geologists, and technical support staff. They should be are very familiar with reservoir evaluation and development concepts for conventional reservoirs and be interested in learning more about the unique technologies applied to shale and tight reservoirs.
This Learning Level is set at: Intermediate to Advanced.
Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants should have an understanding of:
- Why the conventional techniques for evaluating reservoirs are not effective for unconventional reservoirs
- How and why well completion and hydraulic fracturing designs continue to evolve
- Critical issues impacting well productivity and forecasting that are often over-looked
- Unique development and geologic features of commercially successful plays
Course Content
This course is intended for those who are very familiar with reservoir evaluation and development concepts for conventional reservoirs but who are interested in learning more about the unique technologies applied to shale and tight reservoirs.
Topics:
- Differences in how shale oil and shale gas wells should be evaluated and completed
- Unconventional factors having the largest impact on well productivity
- Log analysis uncertainties for shale and tight reservoirs
- Core analysis uncertainties for shale and tight reservoirs
- Production forecasting options
- Keys to effective hydraulic fracturing designs
Why You Should Attend:
Recent success in developing oil from very low permeability reservoirs in North America has sparked global interest in how these plays are being identified, evaluated and developed. This course addresses these issues that require unique approaches, as compared to conventional oil reservoirs, primarily in the areas of well design, hydraulic fracture design, log analysis, core analysis and production forecasting.
