June 29-30, 2010 | Denver, Colorado
To identify and recover new reserves, operators are exploring more complex reservoirs. As reservoir complexity and compartmentalization increase, so does the uncertainty associated with accurately predicting reservoir presence, quality and performance. The ability to adequately address this uncertainty demands an integrated and quantitative interpretation that incorporates elements of geology, geophysics, petrophysics, and engineering.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together experts in the fields of geology, petrophysics, seismic inversion, geostatistical modeling, and reservoir flow simulation. By sharing knowledge and experiences, attendees will develop a common understanding of the “state-of-the-art” in the analysis and interpretation of multi-disciplinary and multi-scale data integration for reducing uncertainty in quantitative interpretation.
Topics include:
Attendees are encouraged to submit poster presentations. They will be displayed during the 29 June reception. Poster guidelines can be found on the workshop meeting page at www.spe.org/workshops. If you wish to present a poster, please submit your topic to cswinford@spe.org by 24 May 2010. A maximum of ten posters will be accepted.
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.
Proceedings from the workshop will not be published; therefore, formal papers and handouts are not requested of speakers or panel members. A URL containing released copies of the workshop presentations will be available to attendees following the workshop.
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).
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.
