Q3 Tech Talk - Ideas are the Future

End of life oil and gas wells don’t have to be end of life wellbores. In recent years, many new ideas and technologies have been developed to repurpose wellbores, many of which focus on energy transition disciplines. This tech-talk will present industry leaders speaking about 3 of the established opportunities to repurpose wellbores in meaningful and economic ways.

PTTC Webinar Event - Waterflood Design and Optimization

REGISTER TODAY FOR WATERFLOOD DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION

THINK YOU MAY MISS ALL, OR PART OF A SESSION?

ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL RECEIVE SESSION RECORDINGS AND PRESENTATIONS

MONDAY NOVEMBER 9TH & TEUSDAY NOVEMBER 10, 2020
8 CREDIT HOURS INSTRUCTION
10:00 A.M. TO 2:00 P.M.
$195

The technology used in waterflooding has been in existence for more than 100 years. The process, by which water is injected into a reservoir under pressure to move oil in place toward a producing well, has been widely used in the midcontinent for generations. An effective waterflood is a cost-efficient way to recover an additional 10 to 20 percent of the original oil in place in a given reservoir. Because of its wide acceptance over the years, many best practices have been developed as well as new technology aimed at improving this established process.

In this course, you will join some of the most experienced people in the regional waterflood business. Covering all aspects of waterflooding – from fundamentals and design to optimization and monitoring – you will not want to miss this online workshop developed specifically for operators and service companies working in the midcontinent.

PTTC Webinar Event - Fractured Reservoirs

Industry-led training from industry leaders.

Earlybird Registration Opens Today

CONSTRUCTION OF FRACTURED RESERVOIR MODELS FOR FLOW SIMULATION INCORPORATING GEOLOGY, GEOPHYSICS, AND GEOMECHANICS

Instructors: James R. Gilman, Christopher K.  Zahm, and Reinaldo J. Michelena

Objectives

Flow models have the purpose of explaining and forecasting reservoir performance that can help plan the development and exploitation of the resource. Conventional and unconventional naturally fractured reservoirs are particularly difficult to model due to the interconnectivity of matrix and fracture properties.  Unconventional reservoirs pose the additional challenge of accounting for natural fractures that can become conductive during hydraulic stimulation.  This class explains the steps necessary to build fractured reservoir models using sound stratigraphic and structural frameworks, calibrated 3D seismic attributes, and geomechanical information.  Models and concepts are examined in the context of how they impact fluid flow, reservoir simulation results, field production, and forecast. This 2-day course will present the workflows that have been developed along with spreadsheet-based exercises to solidify concepts. The course provides in-depth presentations and discussions of the models presented.

Course Format

The course will take place online in four consecutive 4-hour sessions on October 27th, October 29th, November 3rd, and November 5th respectively, from 10 am to 2 pm CST.

Course Outline

Session 1

  • Natural fractured reservoirs:  overview and concepts

  • Impact of natural fractures on reservoir performance: overview

  • Tight unconventional reservoirs: mechanical stratigraphy in core, well logs, and seismic

  • Tight unconventional reservoirs: use and value of outcrop analogs

  • Tight carbonate mechanical stratigraphy interpretation

  • Reservoir engineering data for of naturally fractured reservoirs

Session 2

  • Tight unconventional reservoirs: seismic properties for fracture characterization

  • Discrete vs continuum natural fracture descriptions for simulation in fractured reservoirs

  • Tight unconventional reservoirs: geomechanics review

  • Effective fracture permeability·      

Session 3

  • Tight unconventional reservoirs: modeling perm of reactivated fractures

  • Pressure transient response time

  • Conventional fractured reservoirs: overview and concepts

  • Conceptual integrated fault damage zone model

  • Value of outcrop analogs in fracture modeling

  • Conventional fractured reservoirs: facies, rock properties in core and well logs

Session 4

  • Conventional fractured reservoirs: rock properties from 3D seismic

  • Calibration of effective fracture permeabilities

  • Special considerations for flow simulation in fractured reservoirs

  • Putting it all together: Integration of outcrop, core, well logs, and seismic for improved reservoir models

Learning Outcomes

  • Highlight geologic concepts (e.g., mechanical stratigraphy, rock properties, faults, folds, etc.) that control natural fracture development in conventional and unconventional reservoirs

  • Demonstrate characterization methods that incorporate the use of 3D seismic data for improved mapping of mechanical facies and fracture properties (i.e., increased value of information)

  • Discuss workflows that combine geologic and geomechanics concepts, petrophysical properties, and seismic attributes within geological models in preparation for reservoir simulation

  • Quantify the combined effect of fracture properties (intensity, orientation, width) and local stresses in effective flow properties of simple fracture scenarios

Who Should Attend
This class is ideally suited for integrated teams working on characterization, modeling, and flow simulation of naturally fractured conventional and unconventional reservoirs: geologists, geophysicists, reservoir engineers, simulation engineers, and geomodelers.
 
Includes
Downloadable PDF course notes and spreadsheet-based exercises.

PTTC Basic Well Log Analysis with Dan Krygowski

Basic Openhole Log Interpretation

 

Led by Dan Krygowski 21 Instructional Hours

See Dan’s Video on link below

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jcviscomi_krygowski-subsurface-geology-activity-6572154655281868800-zZYG

Monday, September 9, 2019 8:00 AM until Wednesday, September 11, 2019 5:00 PM

The course covers the measurements that are available in millions of existing wells worldwide and addresses the response of those measurements which are being made in wells being drilled now. New and specialty measurements along with their developing interpretations (“the fancy stuff”) are also addressed in the course. While some knowledge of petrophysics and well log interpretation is helpful, people having no experience with well logs have expressed strong benefits from taking the course. For those with experience gained over time, the course has helped consolidate that experience and set scattered pieces of knowledge in a framework that provides a better overall understanding of existing and developing petrophysical technology.
