1400–1745Room 1 SEISMIC AND GEOLOGICAL MODELING
This sessions offers insight into new advances and techniques being applied to solve complex problems in a variety of geologic settings—from unconventional shale to carbonate reservoirs.
Room 2 WELL AND INFLOW PERFORMANCE
This session addresses horizontal and vertical well performance, inflow profiling and control, and distributed pressure and temperature modeling. Room 3 REMEDIAL OPERATIONS
Well complexity has increased significantly over the last two decades introducing multizone completions, long horizontal wells, multilateral completion amongst others and moving towards more advanced enhanced oil recovery systems. This together with an increased focus on well integrity has significantly impacted the challenges when conducting remedial operations. In this session, we will learn more about these challenges and how they have been addressed around the world.

Room 5 FORMATION EVALUATION CHALLENGES—SHALE/TIGHT GAS RESERVOIRS
This session highlights the formation evaluation challenges and advancements made to date in identifying and evaluating shale gas and tight gas reservoirs. Previously referred to as “unconventional” reservoirs, petrophysics techniques are now being applied more routinely to characterize and identify these productive reservoirs.

Room 6 ADVANCES IN SAND CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
This session covers advances in open and casedhole gravel-packing techniques, hardware development, and methods to assess gravel-pack placement and completion effectiveness.

Room 7 HYDRAULIC FRACTURING
Demonstrates methods to model, match, and understand the complex fracture structures that are now known to be created as revealed with microseismic fracture mapping in shales and other hard-rock formations. Discusses optimization methods based on historical experience, pressure matching, conductivity generation, and other techniques. |

Room 8 LOW SALINITY AND CHEMICAL EOR
This session discusses various aspects of low salinity waterflooding and chemical EOR processes, including the chemical and physical mechanisms. Presentations in this session discuss many current EOR topics from laboratory, theory, modeling, and field application perspectives.

Room 9 WELLBORE STABILITY/GEOMECHANICS
This session focuses on wellbore stability and geomechanics in critical formations. Effective stress fields and other impacts on wellbore integrity are the focus of the papers discussed.

Room 9 DRILLING MECHANICS
This session features the latest information on how to model drilling equipment performance under critical environments. The core topics are Dynamic vibration measurements and analysis are the core topics.

Room 10 BACK TO BASICS! OLD SCHOOL vs. NEW SCHOOL
This session explores different approaches to reservoir engineering and modeling studies where the “old school” contrasts with the "new school." A recent survey of SPE young professionals pointed out that only approximately 50% of the new generation of engineers fully understands the physics behind the modern reservoir tools they use. A panel of distinguished professionals discuss the current trend of reservoir engineering and modeling and offer interesting insights to the young professionals.
