Dear SPE members and oil and gas professionals!
Another SPE Moscow section monthly meeting took place on December 9, and it was the last lecture in 2014.
The meeting began with pleasant news from Gubkin Russian State Oil and Gas University students. Marat Tukhvatullin, Gubkin University Chapter President, gave a short summary of the sixth annual international student conference "Oil and Gas Horizons" and on behalf of the Chapter payed respects to the sponsors and partners of the conference by awarding memorable gifts.
After that Artem Syrmolotov, one of the leading petrophysicists in Weatherford, presented "Integrated approach to studying of secondary porosity in carbonates using special well logging data". The topic excited a lot of questions which Artem gladly answered.
Irina Surovets, Reservoir Engineer at Salym Petroleum Development N.V. commented on the presentation: “The presentation was clear and totally corresponded its topic. I really liked that there were both theoretical explanation of the methods concept and real examples from the field. It was very useful to see the pictures together with the interpretation – it was good for understanding of the idea, the presenter wanted to share. I would like also to recommend that instead of attempting to cover more methods (including formation tester) it would be nice to see a more detailed description of the two offered methods (microimager and cross-dipole acoustic) for pore space estimation in carbonates – their potential and limits, measurement principle, advices on the data analysis and logging quality control.”
After the lecture there was an unexpected surprise for SPE members – a lottery, where a nice SPE logo cap was raffled. Everyone was very excited by this new fun tradition.
A BIT OF STATISTICS...
At the last SPE Moscow section monthly meeting we wanted to hear your opinion and organized an instant polling on the venue for the section monthly meetings: what is your preference – the Congress Centre or Gubkin Russian State Oil and Gas University. The response has been evaluated based on membership - active members (in blue) and non-members (in orange).
We received 62 filled feedback forms:
- 47 people would like to attend meetings in the Congress Centre
- 7 people chose Gubkin State Oil and Gas University as a preferable venue for monthly meetings
- for 8 people each venue is good
You can see the results in the graph on the right.
There are some of important statistics that we would like to share with you – the SPE Moscow section monthly meetings attendance for the 2013-2014 season are seen in the graph on the left.
The festive season has seen two prominent presenters - the Distinguished Lecturer Program (DL) having lower then median attendance. We will hope this poor response will not happen in January 2015, as Mikhail Zuber will present a very interesting topic on unconventional resources titled “Tight Coalbed Methane A Giant Worldwide Resource: How do we Produce it? (Challenges and Solutions)”. Please find more info on the website.
Great news! One more lecture in the SPE Moscow section season! We have extended the SPE Moscow section monthly meetings season till July!
