This leads to the common practice of sti mulating wells with equally spaced stages and treating all the stages exac tly the same, with no regard to the nature of the rock being treated. As a result, production can vary from each stage, with some stages either not contributing or doing poorly.\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Clearly, the stimu lation process alone cannot mitigate the impact of geology in unconvention al reservoirs\; however, mechanisms do exist for improving results in thes e reservoirs. Mapping the distribution of geomechanical properties for opt imal stimulation is one example of unconventional thinking that can be app lied. The practice of "\;steering to brittleness"\; or similar tec hniques can have a direct impact beyond simple well placement. Given a map of geomechanical properties along the wellbore, completion engineers can optimize the position of plugs or packers, and stimulation engineers can f ine tune the design of the treatment applied to the rock. By re-establishi ng the link between production and geology, these methods can decrease the exploitation costs of unconventional reservoirs. \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Please print and brin g credit card receipt if you registered and paid on-line.\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Please register before the deadline at noon on Monday, February 13th if you plan to attend.
