SALEM\, P. Eng.\, Ph.D. \n  \nWHO SHOULD ATTEND\nReservoir Engineers\, Exploration team members\, Production Engineers\, completion engineers\, stimulation engineers\, geologists\, and all support staff who require a more extensive knowledge of unconventional resources. \nCourse Description\nAs we deplete conventional oil and gas reserves\, “unconventional” energy resources are increasingly important to international energy supplies. Today\, for example\, coal beds\, shales\, and low-permeability (tight) sandstones\, combined\, account for more than 40% of the U.S. natural gas supply. Moreover\, in 2006\, U.S. production of coalbed methane\, alone\, exceeded trillion cubic ft (Tcf)\, which was 9.5% of the total dry gas production\, and coalbed methane reserves were 19.9 Tcf\, which was 9.8% of the total U.S. dry gas reserves. Internationally\, there are tremendous heavy oil resources in Eastern Venezuela\, Western Canada\, and other areas\, and we are just beginning to exploit these resources. \nWhile resources of unconventional hydrocarbons are very large\, economically recoverable volumes (reserves) are much smaller\, because the greater costs and additional technology required for production. Many unconventional reservoirs have low matrix permeability\, and natural fractures may be necessary for economic production rates. Therefore\, optimal development of many unconventional reservoirs requires knowledge of the optimal completions and stimulation methods for low-permeability reservoirs\, as well as understanding of the role of natural fractures in fluid flow. Thus\, understanding of the geologic and engineering aspects of gas storage reservoirs is vital for optimum resource management. \nThe objectives of this course are to familiarize attendees with the unique aspects of unconventional gas and oil reservoirs\, including their (1) economic significance (2) geologic occurrences\, (3) controls on production\, (4) drilling and completion practices\, (5) reservoir management\, and (6) present activity. \nWhat To Learn\n\nUnderstand unconventional resource play completion options and selection processes\nUse key multi-disciplinary tools for successful completions and stimulation in unconventional resources\nUnderstand the importance of geo-mechanics and rock mechanics to the success of transverse multiple fractured horizontal wells in unconventional resources\nApply principals and design of well stimulation treatments in unconventional resources\nEmploy critical data needs and collection techniques with minimal operational impact\nHow to produce the heavy oil and produce from oi land gas shale reservoir\n\nCourse Contents\nIntroduction to Unconventional Energy Resources \n\nWhat are unconventional resources?\nWhere do they occur?\nPotential of the unconventional in North America and worldwide\nEconomic significance of each\nTechnical\, economic\, political\, and\nEnvironmental constraints on development\nLow-permeability (Tight) Sands \n\nBackground and history\nExtend of potential reserves of tight sands.\nGeological description\nOccurrences\, resources\, reservoir characteristics\nDrilling and completion methods\nFacilities\, reservoir management\, and\nLimitations on development\, present activity\nExploitation of tight sands; primary and secondary\nCoalbed Methane (CBM) \n\nOccurrences\, resources\, reservoir characteristics\nDrilling and completion methods\nFactors that affect the commerciality of CBM\nMethods to estimate gas content and reserves\nLaboratory tests to estimate total organic content (TOC) and maturity\nProduction mechanism and well productivity estimate\nFacilities\, reservoir management\nUncertainties of formation evaluation\nLimitations on development\, present activity\nWater and environmental issues\nClass problem example\nShale Reservoirs (Gas and Oil) \n\nBackground and history\nShale gas formation characteristics/description.\nShale maturity and methods to determine type of hydrocarbon potential\nOccurrences\, resources\, reservoir characteristics\nDrilling and completion methods\nTypical well production profile\nPyrolysis analysis of Kerogen\nFacilities\, reservoir management\, and\nLimitations on development\, present activity\nWater and environmental issues\nShale oil vs Oil Shale!

Actual case histories are used to study both successes and failures. An interdisciplinary synergistic approach to efficient reservoir management is detailed with the goal of optimized profitability. The significance of each component and the importance of timing and cost/benefit analysis are emphasized. Reservoir management models for optimum field development and field operating plans are analyzed. The course is built around the role of the reservoir engineer and\, hence\, concerns itself with the integration and use of information to make well rate and recoverable volumes estimates … etc \nAdditional to Production Optimization which is along with Reservoir Management a central part of a company’s field development and deliverability strategy.

Indeed\, geochemistry has long been considered as a major contributor to oil and gas exploration and deserves to be admitted as the third “G” along with geology and geophysics (G & G). This course provides attendees with a comprehensive understanding of the chemical and geological processes involved in the formation\, migration\, and alteration of petroleum hydrocarbons. Throughout the course\, attendees will explore topics such as organic matter preservation\, source rock evaluation\, thermal maturation\, petroleum generation and migration\, and hydrocarbons alteration processes. By studying various geochemical parameters and analytical techniques\, attendees will develop their skills necessary to assess hydrocarbon potential\, evaluate source rock (quantity\, quality\, and thermal maturity)\, know the basic assessment of unconventional shale reservoirs\, and make informed decisions in the exploration of oil and gas resources. Moreover\, the course provides basic information about the application of lipid biomarkers (geochemical fossils) as source-related and maturity-related proxies. These organic compounds are valuable proxies in oil-oil and oil-source rock correlations. The course combines theoretical knowledge with practical applications and data interpretation training. At the end of this course\, attendees will be able to interpret geochemical data sets to unravel the geological history of a petroleum system and understand the relationship between geochemistry and other disciplines such as basin modeling analysis. \n \nCourse Objectives\n To gain knowledge and better understanding in the following areas: \n\nFundamentals of organic geochemistry.\nFavorable conditions for organic matter productivity\, preservation\, and accumulation.\nFactors controlling organic richness of a source rock.\nSource rock evaluation (quantity\, quality\, and thermal maturity)\, employing techniques such as LECO TOC\, Rock-Eval pyrolysis\, and Py-GC\, and their interpretation.\nAdvanced geochemical analyses (GC and GC-MS) to investigate lipid biomarkers and their significance.\nOil-Source rock and Oil-Oil correlations.\nOrganic petrographic tools (e.g.\, Vitrinite Reflectance Ro% and visual kerogen analysis)\, and their applications in assessing thermal maturity and kerogen characteristics\, respectively.\nOriginal organic carbon (TOCo) and original kerogen typing (HIo) back-calculations and their importance in assessing the remaining source potential.\n\n \nCourse Content\nPart One: \n\nIntroduction to source rock formation\, organic matter preservation\, accumulation\, depositional control\, and factors controlling organic richness.\nKerogen formation\, source rock evolution\, and petroleum generation.\n\nPart Two: \n\nAssessing organic matter quantity\, quality\, thermal maturity\, and petroleum-generating potential.

Visual (microscopic) kerogen typing and its implications (e.g.\, HIo calculation). Skills to distinguish between different types of source rocks\, their grades\, quality (oil- and/or gas-prone)\, and thermal maturity will be developed to the attendees by the end of this part.\n\nPart Three: \n\nThe concept of biological markers (biomarkers) inventories (n-alkanes\, isoprenoids “pr/ph”\,steranes\, and hopanes) using gas chromatography (GC-FID & GC-MS) techniques. Source-\, age-\, and maturity-related biomarkers tools and applications.\nOil-to-oil\, oil-to-source rock\, and gas-to-source rock correlations.
