Structural Interpretation and Analysis of Fractured Reservoir
Instructor: Paul MacKay
Date: November 2 - 3, 2010
Duration: 2 days
Members (early bird/price): $700/$900 CDN (plus GST)
Non-Members (early bird/price): $800/$1000 CDN (plus GST)
Venue: GX Technology (ION), Altius Building Classroom – Altius Centre, 500 - 4th Ave SW, 2nd Floor, +15 Level
Time: 8:00am - 5:00pm
Course Description:
The course is meant to be a practical approach to recognizing, understanding and analyzing fractured reservoir. The course will spend some time in describing how fractures form, the interaction of tectonism and fluid pressures and then will move into practical case studies to show how the working geosciences team can use readily available tools to understand and analyse fractured reservoirs with the intention of developing an exploitation strategy.
Who Should Attend this Course:
This course should be taken by petroleum geoscientists, reservoir engineers and front line managers looking to develop and increase their experience with fractured reservoirs and unconventional shale plays.
The course is meant to be hands on and there will be some time spent with applications to help the student gain familiarity with some of the tools used to analyze the reservoir. Advanced techniques used in reservoir simulations will be discussed but the main approach will be at understanding the data prior to reservoir simulations and the tolerance of the data going into the simulation programs.
Presenter / Instructor Biography:
Paul A. MacKay, Ph.D.,P.Geol., P.Geoph.
Paul MacKay received a B.Sc.(honours, geological sciences) from Queen's University in 1980 and a Ph.D. from the University of Calgary (1991). He initially worked for Amoco Canada then moved to Morrison Petroleums, Northstar Energy, Devon Canada before beginning a successful consulting practice. His expertise is in petroleum exploration and development in structurally complex reservoirs. He currently teaches field courses in Structural Geology/Geophysics in the Canadian Rockies and Fractured Reservoirs in Wyoming. Dr. MacKay's has extensive experience in many international basins as well as in the interior basins of North America. He is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Calgary.
