WSAM 2014

WINTER SCHOOL ON APPLIED MODELLING

Well and Reservoir Characterisation Beach Rotana Hotel

Abu Dhabi, UAE

26–27 January 2014

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the 6th International Winter School on Applied

Modelling WSAM 2014 to be held 26–27 January 2014 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

WSAM 2014 is organised and sponsored by TGT Oilfield Services.

The school focuses on well and reservoir characterisation by geological modelling,

petrophysical modelling, reservoir flow simulations, streamline analysis, temperature

simulations, multiphase flow modelling, noise logging, corrosion logging, pulsed neutron

logging and open-hole logging.

WSAM is intended for a broad audience of experts – particularly production technologists,

reservoir engineers, petrophysicists, mathematicians and software developers – using

modelling in their daily work.

For more information, please use the following link:

Please send a one-page abstract of your paper to WSAM 2014 Secretary

Dr. Andrey Arbuzov at WSAM2014@tgtoil.com before 15 December 2013.

With best regards,

Dr. Arthur Aslanyan – Chairman of WSAM 2014

ABOUT UAE

UAE is a federation of seven emirates (equivalent to principalities). The constituent emirates

are Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm al-Quwain. The

capital is Abu Dhabi, which is one of the two centres of commercial and cultural activities,

together with Dubai. Islam is the official religion of the UAE, and Arabic is the official

language.

ABOUT ABU DHABI

Abu Dhabi lies on a T-shaped island jutting into the Arabian Gulf from the central western

coast. The city proper had a population of 921,000 in 2013.

Abu Dhabi houses offices of the federal

government, and is the seat for the United Arab

Emirates Government and the home for the Abu Dhabi

Emiri Family and the President of the UAE from this

family. Abu Dhabi has grown to be a cosmopolitan

metropolis. Its rapid development and urbanisation, coupled with the relatively high average

income of its population, has transformed Abu Dhabi to a larger and advanced metropolis.

Today the city is the country's centre of political, industrial activities, and a major cultural, and

commercial centre due to its position as the capital.

Abu Dhabi is home to important financial institutions such as the Abu Dhabi Securities

Exchange, the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates and the corporate headquarters of

many companies and numerous multinational corporations.

The dry subtropical climate offers beautiful moderate weather in January, with warm sunny

days and cool nights, which makes this period ideal for a visit to Abu Dhabi. The temperature

can range between 15°C and 30°C, averaging at 25°C or 77°F. Light clothing is fine for most

of this month except evenings, the best time to wear a sweater, cardigan or jacket.
