SciencEngineering in Oil Fields Development: Application of Analytical Methods.
One of the important stages of oil fields development design is the selection of well placement and its completion methods. The challenge of this task is due to decision-making process performance with the lack of information on reservoir structure and substantial uncertainty in the input data. In this context, the most sustainable decision can be reached by using relatively simple models and methods. The traditional 3D simulation is often inapplicable due to the need in calculation of vast number of development system options provided for analysis of uncertainties impact in the input parameters. Simplified models with relatively simple analytical decisions in basis relieve the case.
New approaches in reserves estimation of hydrocarbon resources
Conference New approaches in reserves estimation of hydrocarbon resources will take place in Tyumen 11-12 February 2015

“High pressure” hydraulic fracturing or practical experience of geomechanical modeling.
With great probability today we can say that hydraulic fracturing is not the only one of the methods for oil extraction intensification but is an effective instrument for oil field development process regulation in whole. The analysis of accumulated experience at hydraulic fracturing operations allows us to speak about its effectiveness almost at all oil field development stages.
Tight Coalbed Methane A Giant Worldwide Resource: How do we Produce it? (Challenges and Solutions)
The development of coalbed methane (CBM) has been limited to moderate- to high-permeability reservoirs (>1 md). However, a significant resource of natural gas exists within low-permeability coals (<1 md). Worldwide CBM resources are estimated to range from 3,500-7,000 Tcf, and EIA estimates >800 Tcf are technically recoverable. As of 2010, however, only 60-70 Tcf of CBM reserves were proved. Vast CBM resources are untapped.
Integrated approach to studying of secondary porosity in carbonates using special well logging data
Different geophysical methods and processing techniques are used for studying of pore space in carbonate rocks, but system analysis necessitates for an integrated approach to the study of rock properties. One of the most efficient suites of specialized logging methods to study reservoirs with the mixed-type porosity is a joint analysis of data from the micro-imager, cross-dipole acoustic logging and also the formation tester.
Pore scale modeling for heavy oil
This presentation is about flow in porous media at the smallest length scales from pore-to-core, and will point out some emerging opportunities of fluid flow simulations relevant to heavy oil.
Understanding and Checking the Validity of PVT- reports
Information about fluid properties is a required input for every stage in the oil and gas industry from the reservoir to the refinery. It is therefore of utmost importance for reservoir, facility and corrosion engineers to understand the volumetric behaviour and the transport properties of the produced fluid. These fluid properties can be obtained from PVT reports generated either in-house or in external labs. In both cases, engineers should be able to perform a consistency check on the data before including it in their respective tasks.
Innovative EOR & 4D seismic achievement in the deep offshore
The field, located deep offshore Angola in Block 17, is composed of confined and unconfined unconsolidated turbidites sands aged from Miocene. The field was discovered in 1997 and production started in December 2006. On Block 17, seismic data are of very good quality with a vertical resolution of 7 metres.
Sweet Spots Identification in Haynesville Shale play
Production of hydrocarbons from tight reservoirs has a long history and traces itself back to the end of 19th – beginning of 20th century, when the natural gas production came from low-pressured fractured shales in Appalachian Basin. However, the lack of technology during that time did not allow operators to produce it with the adequate flow rates. It took almost 60 years for the industry to take a second look at these types of reservoirs, when Mitchell Energy & Development Corporation showed an interest in exploration of Barnett shales for gas production.
Review of Microseismic Campaign in Russia, Results and General Criteria for Successful Application, Lessons Learned and the Way Forward
One of the major challenges, currently facing the Russian oil industry, is the development of unconventional reserves, including the Bazhenov Formation sediments to maintain and possibly increase oil production in Western Siberia. During the May meeting of the Moscow SPE section, a technology of development complex reservoirs will be discussed. We are talking about well-established multi-stage hydraulic fracturing (frac), accompanied by microseismic monitoring (MSM).
