General Information

Workshop Overview If you are interested in wellbore instabilities, reservoir perfor-mance of carbonate reservoirs or the development of uncon-ventional plays, you will need to be part of this workshop.

Wellbore instabilities contribute significantly to increased drill-ing costs, uncertainty and risk over the life of a field. Particu-larly with new legislation requiring the understanding not only of kick tolerance whilst drilling but also for the planning of relief wells, it is time to develop more accurate and elegant solutions to predict pore pressure and fracture gradients.

The performance of carbonate reservoirs is heavily dependent on the long-term stability of the discrete fracture networks (DFN), relevant depletion rates, well placements, completions and cap-rock integrity. To understand these types of reservoirs and exploit them in an efficient and minimal risk manner, we need to improve our ability to integrate pore pressure chang-es to tectonic stresses. Moreover, during EOR, the impact of steam injection on the overburden characterization in accord-ance with geological interpretations must be first understood.

Unconventional plays require the understanding of stress re-gimes to optimally design hydraulic fracture geometries and how these interact with pre-existing fracture networks and fault regimes for optimal hydrocarbon recovery, with mini-mum impact to the environment.

All of the above requires the understanding and deployment of geomechanical technologies in a manner that seamlessly integrate with those of geophysics, geology, drilling and res-ervoir engineering
