   "This year's Annual Meeting will give attendees...a high- quality Technical Program with more posters." -Annual Meeting General Chairman, Ken Helm | | W-6 Geophysical Data Interpretation for Unconventional Reservoirs Date: Thursday, 22 September
Time: 1:30 p.m.-5 p.m.
Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Room 217 A
Organizers: Yongyi Li, Bill Goodway, Helen Farrell, Stephanie Nowak, and Ron Masters
Through the support of the IQ Earth Interpretation Committee Description: Non standard interpretation of increasingly diverse geophysical data is essential for successful exploration and development of unconventional reservoirs. With the rapid increase in exploration for unconventional resources, geophysical data interpretation faces challenges in understanding the relationship between geophysical observations and subsurface properties. Engineering applications such as geomechanics, well and completion design, hydraulic fracture and reservoir monitoring, and EUR prediction become major drivers for interpretation. As well, data integration is now of particular importance. This half day post-convention workshop will feature leading experts from industry and academia, with open discussion on the potential and challenges in geophysical data interpretation for unconventional reservoirs. Topics covered in the workshop include: - Geophysical data interpretation and geomechanics
- Structural interpretation
- Stratigraphic interpretation
- Surface and borehole data interpretation
- Geomechanical modeling
- Geophysical data interpretation for reservoir characterization
- Geomechanical rock properties
- Seismic attributes
- In-situ stresses
- Production prediction
- Reserve estimation
- Completion and production
- Well placement and field development
- Completion design
- Completion and production monitoring
