About this Workshop

This applied technology workshop focuses on sand control techniques and the production life of the well. Topics of discussion will range from open-hole to cased-hole reservoirs. The strength of the workshop is its interactivity and thus depends on audience participation. We ask that the speakers keep their remarks brief and that all attendees actively participate by asking questions, airing comments, and sharing their observations. Open discussion of critical issues and exploitation of new methods will ensure this workshop has a lasting positive effect on our understanding of sand control challenges.

Workshop Format  

Workshops maximize the exchange of ideas among attendees and presenters through brief technical presentations followed by extended Q&A periods. Focused topics attract an informed audience eager to discuss issues critical to advancing both technology and best practices. Many of the presentations are in the form of case studies, highlighting engineering achievements and lessons learned. In order to stimulate frank discussion, no proceedings are published and members of the press are not invited to attend.

Documentation

Following the workshop, a URL containing released copies of the workshop presentations will be available to attendees. A summary report of the workshop will also be made available. The copyright of the report will belong to SPE.

In remaining consistent with workshop objectives and SPE guidelines, commercialism in presentations will not be permitted.  Company logos should be used only to indicate the affiliation of the presenter(s).

Continuing Education Units (CEUs)

Attendees will receive 1.6 CEUs. One CEU equals 10 contact hours of participation.  CEUs will be awarded through SPE Professional Development for participation and completion of SPE workshop.  A permanent record of a participant’s involvement and awarding of CEUs will be maintained by SPE
