Production Enhancement – Maximising Production and Recovery in a Challenging Economic Climate
11-14 October 2009
Eastern & Oriental Hotel
Penang, Malaysia
Economics changed dramatically in the last quarter of 2008 affecting investment decisions on major E&P activities. In this challenging economic climate, operators realise the value of maximising production and recovery by employing production enhancement technologies developed and matured through the years. Production enhancement technologies have been developed and applied since the late 1990s with significant growth in stimulation, reservoir management, and well intervention. In fact, well stimulation, including hydraulic fracturing, was voted the most important technology in a recent semi-annual survey of 357 E&P operators (Oil & Gas Journal, 20 Dec. 2008), surpassing horizontal drilling and 3D and 4D seismic. The impetus for this stems from development opportunities in poor quality reservoirs.
This workshop will provide the platform for industry experts and practitioners to discuss, challenge, and exploit production enhancement technologies.
Focus and Objectives
This workshop will provide excellent networking opportunities for sharing the latest production enhancement technologies, applications, best practices, and related technologies. Topics that are expected to facilitate discussion include
- Quantifying the value of production enhancement/well stimulation
- Advances in proppant and acid fracturing
- Advances in matrix stimulation
- Minimising unwanted fluid production and improving hydrocarbon production
- Advances in stimulation and well intervention equipment
- Application and placement tools, coiled tubing, etc.
- Evaluation technologies and optimization
Who Should Attend
The workshop will be of interest to reservoir engineers, production technologists, production engineers, completion engineers, and application engineers involved in the extraction and management of oil and gas assets.
Registrants are encouraged to present case studies and other experiences as discussion leaders.
