Room 2 THE CHALLENGE OF DEPLOYING THE DIGITAL OILFIELD TO DIFFERENT CULTURES
We will explore the successes and challenges the industry has experienced with deploying and operating digital oilfield technologies and associated processes across our diverse asset base and very diverse geographies and cultures. The session considers how to deliver the changes required in the processes and organisation within different cultures and different stages of field development—from greenfield to very mature. The session opens with short, challenging statements from operating, supply, and technology representatives. Following is an open forum where attendees will be able to ask questions and challenge the panelists. Panelist: Meyer Bengio, Schlumberger |

Room 3 PRODUCING HEAVY OIL AND OTHER DIFFICULT FLUIDS
Producing heavy viscous oil (many times with significant amounts of sand) or fluids with a tendency to form scale or organic deposits (such as paraffin and asphaltenes) always presents challenges. In this session, we will learn how some of these challenges are being tackled around the world.

Room 4 WATER: PRECIOUS RESOURCE
Open forum discussion on how water impacts and is impacted by the petroleum industry. This discussion will hopefully touch on all aspects for health, safety, environment, and social responsibility. Flowback treatments, groundwater protection, portability and effective consumption are some topics we hope to touch upon in this panel as it pertains to operations and the value we place on water in our industry. Panelist: David Burnett, Texas A&M University |

Room 5 MODELING: INVERSION AND NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR FORMATION EVALUATION
This session highlights inversion techniques, microgravity logging, crosswell electromagnetic, and resistivity modeling. Posters include topics on acoustic measurements in open and casedhole environments, low resistivity low contrast pay, and a case study on variable Rw/salinity from China. |

Room 6 DEEPWATER COMPLETIONS
This session includes case histories from several deepwater projects summarizing their completions, workovers, and intelligent wells completions. Other topics include a discussion of new technology for the lower Tertiary. |

Room 7 STIMULATION TECHNOLOGIES
This session discusses innovative technologies that maximize well-stimulation effectiveness. Includes case histories that highlight the implementation of these technical solutions. |

Room 8 FLOW IN LOW-PERMEABILITY FORMATIONS
This session discusses the flow and accumulation of gases, liquids, and hydrates through low permeability porous media. Also discusses the unique rock/fluid interactions associated with flow through organic rich shales and coal seams. Offers many current topics in the area of flow through low permeability formations from the laboratory, theory, modeling, and field application perspectives.

Room 10 LATEST ADVANCES IN RESERVOIR SIMULATION
This session presents cutting-edge techniques and integrated solutions to advance numerical reservoir-modeling capabilities. Topics include implicit dynamic gridding to track flood fronts, next-generation wellbore models to simulate well performance, reduction in computation time for multiphase-flow modeling, optimized work flows to improve history matching and well placement, and field case studies.
