Target Audience:  Those who have had little exposure to this technology and need a “quick start” on the learning curve.  Purpose: The purpose of this seminar is to introduce in overview fashion the fundamental concepts and elements of reservoir simulation.  Those who want to get an overview of this technology should attend.  After attending, persons …

Hole opening (dual diameter drilling) continues to receive industry attention, due to its numerous advantages. However this application presents numerous challenges, with direct implications on drilling efficiency and operational costs that worsen in harsh environments. This presentation will cover new discussions on hole opening efficiency, with specific emphasis on harsh environments.   Factors and conditions, …

In this talk will discuss a novel approach for rapid field-scale performance assessment of shale gas and oil reservoirs. The proposed approach is based on a high frequency asymptotic solution of the diffusivity equation in heterogeneous reservoirs and serves as a bridge between simplified analytical tools and complex numerical simulation. The high frequency solution leads …
