Reality-Based Reservoir Development: New Teams, Techniques, Technologies

Building on the success of the Oklahoma City AAPG-SPE joint program on “Reality Based Reservoir Development,” the WTGS and AAPG are teaming up to create a workshop that brings together engineers and geologists to give each other new insight and to formulate solutions.

With the recent surge in new techniques and technology, as well as new plays put into production, a tremendous opportunity exists in both U.S. and international reservoirs to apply lessons learned to existing reservoirs in order to economically increase production and recoverable reserves.

What are the geological realities that engineers need to know?

Here is a preliminary list, which can help individuals determine not only where they have knowledge gaps, but also how best to communicate, plan, and work in teams.
