Contemporary Topics for Liquid-Rich-Shale (LRS) Reservoirs: Fluid Sampling, Characterization and Gas-Injection EOR
Disciplines: Production and Operations | Reservoir
Course Description
To explain fluid sampling and characterization challenges in liquid-rich-shale (LRS) reservoirs and to offer best practices in order to minimize errors for the most challenging produced fluids. To explore the science of Lean-Gas cycling EOR by discussing three mechanisms of EOR in the context of two pressure regimes: Matrix and Fractures.

Instructor
Dr. F. Brent Thomas, P. Eng. was a principal with Hycal Energy Research from 1981 until 2004 and has world-wide experience in reservoir performance and EOR. From 2004 until 2014 Brent was employed with Weatherford Laboratories as Director of Phase Behavior and EOR Research. Brent has taught courses on a variety of EOR topics, world-wide, over the last twenty-nine years. He was a distinguished lecturer for SPE International (2003-2004) on the topic of Retrograde Reservoir Optimization. He has authored/ co-authored almost one hundred papers, two of which received the JCPT Best Paper Award. Brent was also a Distinguished Author for the JCPT. Currently, Brent is a consultant, working in the field of reservoir optimization including significant emphasis on LRS reservoir optimization.
