Cont. Ed: Learning Tutorial:Unconventional Oil and Gas Resources Exploitation and Reservoir Development
This course provides a comprehensive understanding of the latest advances in the exploitation and development of unconventional resources, with an emphasis on shale. It will address all aspects of the process, from data mining and accounting to drilling, completion, stimulation, production, and environmental issues. It offers in-depth coverage of sub-surface measurements (geological, geophysical, petrophysical, geochemical, and geomechanical) and their interpretation. It discusses the use of microseismic, fiber optic, and tracer reservoir monitoring technologies and JewelSuite™ modeling software. It also explores future trends in reservoir technologies.
