Getting Started with the Unconventional

(one-hour Lunch and Learn)

Saad Ibrahim, P. Engineer, President Petro Management Group

Agenda/outline:

There is no doubt that the future of the oil and gas industry is in the area of tight and unconventional fields. The potential of the unconventional is massive. However, the approach and the skills needed to exploit these types of reservoirs are much different than what the industry is used to. Proper understanding of their characteristics and how to evaluate the commerciality of these reservoirs is a good start. This presentation will cover the following topics:

  1. Why the unconventional is different than the conventional.
  2. What are the main parameters to conclude commerciality and evaluation tools (DFIT & RTA).
  3. What is new with performance evaluation of Multi-stage Frac of Horizontal Wells (MFHW’s)
  4. Case study

Typically this L&L starts at 11:30 am (complimentary lunch is offered by PMG) and the technical presentation usually runs from 11:40 am until 12:50 noon, leaving 10 minutes for questions at the end.
