Room 3 ARTIFICIAL LIFT
As fields mature, reservoir pressure decline and water cut increases resulting on lower oil production rates. Artificial lift is required to keep wells flowing and meeting our ongoing demand for oil production. This session will present papers on everything from subsea application of ESPs to possible new technologies. |

Room 4 SYSTEMIC SAFETY MANAGEMENT
This session explores some effective analytical tools to control and promote mitigate safety practices around the globe.

Room 6 SHALE/TIGHT GAS SAND HORIZONTAL WELL COMPLETIONS
This session focuses on emerging and varying technologies related to shale and tight gas sand horizontal-well completions. Particular emphasis will be placed on hydraulic fracturing/isolation technology, as well as Bakken shale completions. |

Room 8 HEAVY OIL AND THERMAL RECOVERY
This session discusses production of heavy, viscous oil, including current topics in the areas of steam flooding, CO2 injection, in-situ combustion, and the use of stabilized emulsions for heavy oil recovery.
|

Room 9 EXPANDABLES/TUBULARS
This session focuses on providing the latest experience with respect to materials and other tube performance under expansion and other loading.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Room 9 DRILLING OPTIMIZATION
This session centers around optimizing the drilling process in terms of drilling efficiency as well as the integrity of the borehole and the drilling assembly. Both the wellbore and the drilling systems must be designed for optimum reliability.
|

Room 10 RESERVOIR CASE STUDIES: RESERVOIR MANAGEMENT, HISTORY MATCHING, AND OTHER NOVEL ANALYSES
This session discusses field case studies from reservoirs around the world. Themes range from reservoir management in mature reservoirs to simulation studies, reservoir monitoring, and marginal fields development. Posters presented in this session include EOR/IOR studies and well testing in condensate reservoirs.
