SHALE GAS DEVELOPMENT
Wednesday March 30
Instructor Steve Hennings, MS, P.E. Source Rock Engineering

INTENDED AUDIENCE
This course is intended for those involved in evaluating or developing Shale Gas and also those wanting to understand more about this resource. The target audience for this course includes engineers, geologists, geophysicists, investors, managers, government officials, planners, and technical support staff. Participants are assumed to have a basic understanding of general engineering and geologic terms.

DESCRIPTION
• Shale Gas Basics
• Geologic Aspects
• Key Shale Properties
• Gas Resource Analysis
• Optimizing Hydraulic Fracture Treatments
• Production Forecasting
• Global Development Activities
• Review the status and characteristics of various Shale Gas plays
• Recognize the factors controlling gas-in-place, reserves, and productivity
• Understand how to collect, analyze, and interpret critical data
• Review the steps for calculating reserve volumes and forecasting production
• Gain practical insight and techniques for quality-control and due diligence
• Network and share ideas with other attendees from the Shale Gas industry

Credit Hours: 0.8 CEUs (Continuing Education Units) are awarded for this 1-day course.

Cement Log Evaluation – In High Angle to Horizontal Wells
Wednesday March 30
Instructor Mr. Gary Batcheller, GWB Consultants

INTENDED AUDIENCE
This course will apply to those professionals involved in cementing, completions and work-over. Those evaluating foam or light weight cements, which have posed unique problems and detailed technicques for those circumstances. Those involved in horizontal well completions today where isolation between frac stages is required and sometimes difficult to achieve.

DESCRIPTION
• Understanding basic concepts of CBL and quality control • Reliable interpretation techniques
• New Technology – its applications and limitations in high angle wells
• The importance of tool centralization and casing standoff in high angle wells
• Identifying Potential problems with cement isolation
• Advantages of multiple sensor detectors with acoustic logs.
• Understand new interpretation techniques available and new technology.

Credit Hours: 0.8 CEUs (Continuing Education Units) are awarded for this 1-day course.
