Instructor/s: Shelin Chugh, Epic Consulting Services Ltd.

Who Should Attend: This tutorial is designed for junior and intermediate reservoir, petroleum, and exploitation engineers/technologists who are involved in reservoir evaluations, reservoir engineering studies and reserves determinations.

Tutorial Description: The following topics will be covered in this tutorial: In Canada and many parts of the world, because of the availability of public production data bases, we often have a large amount of production data that can be easily and effectively analyzed to define remaining reserves as well as the upside potential of reservoirs. However, in order to analyze the data and yield a useful interpretation, we must tie the data to operational and reservoir mechanisms. Often, if the data is not filtered, the high noise to signal ratios will either lead to unanalyzable data or an incorrect interpretation. Using surveillance techniques, this tutorial allows us to:

a) Identify drive mechanism

b) Identify well anomalies and poor performance

c) Identify upside potential in reservoirs.

Both oil and gas reservoir examples are discussed, with emphasis on reservoir mechanisms and

waterflood surveillance.

"Please be advised that you need to bring a laptop computer to the Tutorial. The instructor strongly encourages participants to bring their own laptop computers in order to complete exercises and gain the most from the Tutorial."
