Challenges in Reserves Estimate for
Tight/Unconventional Reservoirs
Saad Ibrahim, P. Engineer, President Petro Management Group
Interactive Workshops: June 28, 2018 , Calgary AB
CSUR Members’ Technical Luncheon proudly sponsored by CALFRAC Well Services Ltd.
Agenda
11:30 – 12:00 Check-In; Networking; Boxed Luncheon
12:00 – 13:00 Technical Presentation
CSUR is pleased to be working with Chef Wade and Boreal Cuisine this year. For more information on our caterer, please visit www.borealchef.com.
The venue is the Glenbow Museum’s theatre which is located on the main floor. Lunch is from 11:30 to noon.
As the oil industry is shifting fast into the exploitation of tight and unconventional reservoirs; with very low permeability, reserves estimate becomes a challenging task. Reserve definitions; such as, Stimulated Reservoir Volume (SRV) and Contacted Reservoir Volume (CRV) will be discussed. When all methods fail, we tend to seek help from the decline analysis technique. Decline curve analysis and its derivative; such as the Power Law Exponential (PLE) and RTA methods, are also explained. More advance methods using numerical techniques can produce more reliable reserve estimates and can deal with complex reservoirs and heterogeneities. Several case studies will be presented to demonstrate the various techniques.
Speaker: Mr. Saad Ibrahim, P. Eng. – or Hoshne Banu, P. Eng.
