Session 1: Well Completions
Town Center South
Session Chairpersons: Craig Cipolla, Hess; Kent Perry, RPSEA; Javad Paktinat, Anadarko Petroleum
This session focuses on the latest technology for optimizing well completions in unconventional resource systems. Topics include a Marcellus shale case study, a 'time-delayed' fracturing concept, design optimization for shallow shale reservoirs, and modeling of created fractures in a shale oil play. Both horizontal and vertical well completions will be discussed.

Session 2: Formation Evaluation and Characterization
Town Center South
Session Chairpersons: Christopher Clarkson, University of Calgary; Thomas Juranek, ExxonMobil; Dwayne Purvis, The Strickland Group; John Thompson, Fekete
Formation evaluation in unconventional reservoirs requires measurements and interpretations from pore-scale to multi-well scale in order to provide a complete assessment of reservoir quality. This session covers the latest advances in pore-scale and adsorption analysis at the microscale, as well as microseismic and well-completion analysis at the macroscale.
