Technical Program

Tuesday, 24 August, 0800-0930

Session I: Opening Session

Chairman’s Welcome
Keynotes: The Well and Reservoir Management Process – A Major Operator’s Vision
Managing the Process – Can We Borrow from Other Industries?

1000-1200

Session II: Offshore Installations

Chairpersons: Robert Greenaway, Schlumberger; Mikko Jaaskelainen, SensorTran

Case studies that demonstrate the value gained by applying distributed temperature sensing (DTS) in offshore installations will be discussed.

1330-1500

Session III: Onshore Installations

Chairpersons: Etienne Samson, Pinnacle, A Halliburton Service; Charles Crawley, Chevron

Although the data collected from distributed fiber-optic sensing solutions can be extremely useful, the ability to deploy the fiber downhole reliably and repeatedly can be a concern. This session will cover case studies on fiber-optic deployments for land application.

1530-1700

Session IV: Completion and Stimulation Monitoring

Chairpersons: Steven Mathias, Weatherford International; Hays Allen, Fotech Solutions

Distributed optical sensors provide valuable data related to stimulation effectiveness and completion integrity. Discussion will center around monitoring techniques and data analysis examples for these important applications.

Wednesday, 25 August, 0800-0930

Session V: Production Allocation and Injection Profiling

Chairpersons: Hays Allen, Fotech Solutions; Etienne Samson, Pinnacle, A Halliburton Service

The objective of this session is to evaluate the production profile and zonal contribution of oil and gas wells using distributed measurements.

1000-1130

Session VI: Integrity Monitoring

Chairpersons: Steven Mathias, Weatherford International; Dennis Dria, Myden Energy Consulting

Presentations in this session will demonstrate the use of fiber-optic sensors to monitor the physical integrity of surface and subsurface well components by measuring strain directly or by assessing a change in the well component performance.

1300-1430

Session VII: Data Management , Analysis & Workflow

Chairpersons: Philippe Legrand, Baker Hughes Production Quest; Robert Greenaway, Schlumberger

The value of fiber-optic data resides in the ability to use this information in understanding and controlling well and reservoir performance: In this session we will discuss and cover integration of data management tools to accomplish data delivery, management, archiving, retrieval and analysis.

1500-1600

Session VIII: New Technologies/Enabling Technologies

Chairpersons: Dennis Dria, Myden Energy Consulting; Philippe Legrand, Baker Hughes Production Quest

New monitoring tools and integrated interpretation methods will be presented, including fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensing and transient temperature applications.
