Part 4 OF OUR 4-PART SERIES ON PETROLEUM RESERVES - AVOIDING WRITE-DOWNS
PART IV: An Overview of Recommended Petrophysical Practices
Pre-Registration Deadline: September 16!!!!
Speakers: Bill Price, Petrophysical Solutions; John Kulha, Consultant; Ted Griffin, Core Lab
Day: 21-Sep-05, 8:00 AM-4:00 PM
Location: Bureau of Economic Geology Houston Research Center
11611 West Little York (Please use the Cunningham St. entrance) Houston, TX 77441
Summary:
Large corporate reserve write-downs have increased attention of financial analysts, investors, rating agencies, banks, the U.S. SEC and corporate boards to the process of estimating and reporting reserves.
Obtaining accurate net pay counts from correct petrophysical analysis is one of the basic ingredients of accurate reserve estimations.
• Understand the dangers of the digital world in which we live
• Discuss why the proper integration of data is still undervalued
• Learn the rules of wireline pressure interpretation and use of core data to validate reserves
• Learn the ten causes/sources of LRLC response and how to adjust your petrophysical evaluation to compensate.
• Learn a proven methodology to evaluate LRLC pays and when to apply it
• Real world examples will be presented
Speaker: Selim S. Shaker
Day: 19-Oct-05 8:00 AM CST
Location: Core Laboratories, 6316 Windfern, Houston Texas 77040
Summary:
In-depth practice of geopressure concepts, measurements, prediction, analysis, risk and appraisal.
• Different prediction methods, mainly based on effective stress
• Practical graphic plots (PD, EP-D, PPG-D)
• Learn both direct and indirect measurements and know how to QC the data
• QC petrophysical properties adequate for pore pressure predictions especially seismic velocity
• Learn how to detect compartmentalization and calculate sealing and retention capacities
• Importance of geopressure analysis in appraisal and risk assessment
• Applications for exploration, exploitation, and drilling.
COASTAL SUBSIDENCE, SEA LEVEL AND THE FUTURE OF THE GULF COAST
Sponsored by the Houston Geological Society and the Engineering, Science and Technology Council of Houston
Dates: Conference – 3 & 4 November, 2005, 8:30 AM– 5:30 PM
Field Trip – 5 November, 2005
Location: Northwest Conference Center in Cypress, Texas
Summary:
A Conference to increase awareness of subsidence issues facing the Gulf Coast Region. Increase public and governmental awareness and to provide for a thorough discussion of all aspects of the subsidence issue. The desired outcome of the conference is to open lines of communication, so that policy makers, their technical advisors and the public will have a better understanding of coastal subsidence, how to quantify and predict it, as well as plan infrastructure around its effects.
