Sponsorship form (40KB PDF) In 2009 we will turn the attention of the Development and Production Forum series to carbonate reservoirs. By far the largest and most extensive petroleum reservoirs worldwide exist in carbonate reservoirs, chiefly located in the Middle East. As these reservoirs mature it becomes imperative that we apply advanced geophysical and reservoir engineering technology to evaluate, monitor, and ultimately manage these important resources. This five-day meeting in Bahrain will examine the geological and geophysical characteristics of carbonate reservoirs and the role of geophysics in characterizing and managing them. Topics included in the program are: - Geological framework and heterogeneity
- Rock physics and formation evaluation
- Seismic characteristics, including 3D and 4D and passive seismics
- Electrical and potential methods in carbonates
- Fracture characterization
- Reservoir simulation and modeling
