Effective hydraulic fracture stimulation is critical for shale development, and microseismic is the only technology able to map the growth of these hydraulic fracture networks. Since the advent of commercial mapping in the Barnett Shale in 2000, microseismic has been used to investigate hydraulic fracture treatments around the globe.

Registration is open. 12-14 February 2014 SPE Training Course “Oil and Gas Economics and Uncertainty” will be held in Moscow, hotel “Aerostar”, “Petrovsky” conference hall. Please see preliminary Training Course program in the attached brochure.

November 12, 2013 at the conference Oil and Gas Horizons, organized Gubkin SPE Chapter, held a roundtable leaders of student sections. The meeting was attended by representatives of St. Petersburg, Tyumen, Ufa, Ukhta, Aktobe, Bashkir, Kazakh, as well as the Moscow student sections.

One of the main aspects in the field management consists in the maintenance of reservoir pressure. Solid comprehension of injection influence on the reservoir is obligatory for that. In the complex carbonate geological environment (karst, fractures, caverns, etc…) this task starts to be even more complicated. Flow and pressure path could be not obvious and pressure support could be expanded on the large areas on distances more than 0,5 km.
