Directions to Brookhaven College (Building H)
Directions:
The main campus is between Midway Road
and Marsh Lane and North of Alpha Road/Valley View Lane. If arriving
from East of Midway Road, take 635W and exit Midway Road and travel
North. About ½ mile north, turn left onto Alpha Road. There will be a
sign for Brookhaven College on your right after a short distance. Turn
right on McEwen or Oak depending on which street sign you look at. At
the first stop sign, turn left on Windmill Circle (tennis courts on your
left). Windmill Circle winds around the outside perimeter of the parking
lots and buildings. Stay on Windmill Circle until Cottonwood. Turn right
on Cottonwood into the parking lot, West 1 Parking. Building H is
located at the top left of the parking lot as you turn onto Cottonwood.
See the above maps for clarification.
If arriving from West of Midway Road. You can exit
Marsh Lane and Turn North. Take a right and head East on Valley View
Lane. From the map it appears you can take a left on South Hickory and
enter the campus. Turn left on Windmill Circle and it should be a short
distance to Cottonwood.

Abstract
The completion
strategy and hydraulic fracture stimulation are the keys to economic success in
unconventional reservoirs. Therefore, reservoir engineering workflows in
unconventional reservoirs need to focus on completion and stimulation
optimization as much as they do well placement and spacing. This well-level
focus requires the integration of hydraulic fracture modeling software and the
ability to utilize measurements specific to unconventional reservoirs. This
presentation details a comprehensive integration of software, data, and
specialized measurements specific to unconventional reservoirs that allows
efficient full-cycle seismic-to-simulation evaluations.
It is very
important to properly model hydraulic fracture propagation and hydrocarbon
production mechanisms in unconventional reservoirs, a significant departure from
conventional reservoir simulation workflows. Seismic-to-simulation workflows in
unconventional reservoirs require hydraulic fracture models that properly
simulate complex fracture propagation which is common in many unconventional
reservoirs, algorithms to automatically develop discrete reservoir simulation
grids to rigorously model the hydrocarbon production from complex hydraulic
fractures, and the ability to efficiently integrate microseismic measurements
with geological and geophysical data. The introduction of complex hydraulic
fracture propagation models now allows these work-flows to be implemented.
This presentation details
efficient, yet rigorous, integration of geological and geophysical data with
complex fracture models, single-well completion and stimulation focused
reservoir simulation, and microseismic measurements. The implementation of a
common software platform and the development of specialized gridding algorithms
allow complex hydraulic fracture models to be calibrated using microseismic
measurements in the context of local geology and structure. The complex
hydraulic fracture geometry, including the distribution of proppant, is
automatically gridded to a common Earth Model for single-well reservoir
simulation. The newly developed complex hydraulic fracture models and automated
gridding algorithms are illustrated in a case history from the Barnett Shale
unconventional gas play.
Biography
Craig is an
Engineering Advisor for Schlumberger, Houston, currently focusing on the
application of fracture mapping technologies, complex fracture modeling and
reservoir simulation to improve stimulation designs and field development
strategies. Before joining Schlumberger in 2009, Craig’s most recent positions
were VP of Stimulation Technology for CARBO Ceramics (2008-2009) and VP of
Engineering for Pinnacle Technologies (1996-2008). Craig also held positions
with Union Pacific Resources, CER Corporation, and Dresser Titan. Craig’s 30
years of worldwide experience includes the application of microseismic and
tilt-meter fracture mapping technologies, the design and evaluation of hydraulic
fracturing treatments, tight gas reservoir engineering, integrated field
studies, training, and supervising stimulation treatments. Craig has co-authored
over 50+ technical papers and was an SPE Distinguished Lecturer on hydraulic
fracturing in 2005-2006. Craig holds undergraduate degrees in Engineering and
Chemistry from the University of Nevada-Las Vegas and a Masters Degree in
Petroleum Engineering from the University of Houston.

Abstract
Fiber-optic
technology, although only introduced for use in E&P well and reservoir
monitoring in the last ten years, has blossomed into
a highly reliable set of
tools which frequently offer monitoring capability not obtainable with
traditional sensors which are either
permanently installed or run as logging
tools or via other intervention methods. This presentation will provide an
overview of optical
sensing techniques and sensors such as distributed
temperature sensing (DTS), optical pressure gauges, distributed strain
measurement for integrity monitoring and distributed acoustic sensing. Along
with this brief introduction to different fiber-optic
measurement technology, a
case will be made for the application of these in the E&P industry, and examples
provided to demonstrate
their value.
Biography
Dennis Dria,
a petroleum technology advisor for Myden Energy Consulting, PLLC, has more than
20 years of experience with Shell,
most recently working as a Staff Research
Engineer in the areas of fiber-optic technology development, fiber-optic data
management
and integration and technology implementation for well and reservoir
monitoring, and as Shell's Global Subject Matter Expert for
production logging
and permanent sensing. He earned his BS in Physics and Mathematics from Ashland
University and his PhD in
Petroleum Engineering form The University of Texas at
Austin. He is author or coauthor of 22 US patents and more than 10 technical
publications, and is a contributing editor to the current SPE Petroleum
Engineering Handbook. A 25-Year member of the SPE, he
has chaired the SPE
Continuing Education Committee, served on the SPE ATCE Technical Program
committee, and served as
technical program member on several SPE Forums and
Applied Technology Workshops, most recently as Chairman of the 2009
SPE Emerging
Technology Workshop on Distributed Temperature Sensing. He currently serves on
the Production Monitoring and
Control subcommittee for the 2010 SPE ATCE and
chairs the 2010 SPE Workshop on Distributed Fiber-Optic Sensing for Well and
Reservoir Monitoring.
