GORE® Surveys for Exploration “Amplified Geochemical ImagingSM” Services — A Direct HydrocarbonIndicator Method & Results of a Demonstration of Capabilities in Abu Dhabi
Authors Mark J. Wrigley, Mahfoud Al Jenaibi, Pierre van Laer and Holger StolpmannDown hole geophysics, and 2D and 3D seismic imaging, are some of the tools most often used by petroleum explorationists to find and exploit our hydrocarbon resources. Unfortunately, no single technology or tool has the current capability to answer all of the questions posed by exploration professional; each tool offers its own unique view into the subsurface and, when used together in a complementary fashion, help build a more complete picture of the petroleum system and/or the reservoir.

Petrophysical Properties Evaluation of Heterogeneous Gas Shaly Sands with NMR Logging Data
Authors Gharib Hamada and Osama ElmahdyPetrophysical properties evaluation of heterogeneous gas shaly sands reservoirs is one of the most difficult problems. These reservoirs usually produce from multiple layers with different permeability and complex formation, which is often enhanced by natural fracturing.

A Multidisciplinary Approach to Recognize and Predict the Role of Fractures in Maximizing Economic Recovery from Basement Reservoirs by Integrating Different Disciplines, Zeit Bay Field - Gulf Of Suez, Egypt, Egypt
Authors Saber M.Selim, Wegdan A.Saleh, Taha A. Abd El-Rahman and Mohamed S.HateelFractured Reservoirs provide over 20% of the world reserves and production. However, few of these reservoirs are optimally developed. It is undeniable that the reservoir characterization modeling and simulation of naturally fractured reservoirs present unique challenges that differentiate them from conventional reservoirs which also mean that they require unique solutions and strategies for optimum production.

Proppant Free Fracturing Technique for Production Optimization in Tight Gas Reservoirs — An Overview
More LessTight gas refers to natural gas reservoirs locked in extraordinarily impermeable, hard rock, making the underground formation extremely "tight. “and its permeability below or equal to 0.01md.It is a promising resource because of its inherent association with conventional hydrocarbon systems.

Reservoir Characterization Modeling, A Multidisciplinary Approach, Zeit Bay Field Case Study, Gulf Of Suez, Egypt
Authors Saber M Selim, Khaled M. Abd Allah and Wegdan A. SalehReservoir Characterization plays an important role in Reservoir Management. Good understanding of how, why and where the reservoir produces, optimizing production can be determined. Understanding the reservoir means dissecting the data and studying the relation between all its components.

Structural Assessment and 3-D Geological Modeling as a Good Approach to Reservoir Management Scheme, Ras Burdran Field — Gulf of Suez, Egypt
Authors Saber M. Selim, Mohamed Zakaria Abd El-Rahman and Ahmed Abd El-Hadi3D geological modeling has become one of the most reliable and effective means of displaying geological structures of any oil or gas field. Building a coherent 3D geological model of a complex heavy oil field, with long years of production is a tremendous task that requires a multi-disciplinary approach and the effective management of a large amount of data (i.e., outcrops, cores, logs, 3D seismic, well tests and production data).

Managing Young Geoscientists in Oil Industry: A Gen-Next Perspective
More LessManaging young and restless geoscientists can be one of the most challenging jobs for an oil industry human resources (HR) department. The recent downturn in the economy has added to these woes. This study provides a methodology to address the concerns of geoscientists in the upstream oil industry.

Addressing the Geological Challenges in Tight Gas Sandstones with Advanced Borehole Imaging Solutions, Sultanate of Oman
More LessIn tight gas sandstones, detailed geological understanding of the reservoirs is imperative in preparing optimal exploration, appraisal and development plans. The distribution of sand bodies, their textures, orientation and paleocurrent directions need to be understood in the context of sedimentary depositional environments to assist in the prediction and identification of reservoir architecture, reservoir quality variability and sweet spots.

Refining the Facies Model to Address Reservoir Heterogeneity: Application of New Borehole Imager in Sandstone Reservoirs of Oman
Authors Chandramani Shrivastava, Abdullah Al Alawi and Joachim BildsteinThe geological complexities of the clastic reservoirs in Northern Oman pose difficult challenges in understanding the distribution of reservoir facies for proper delineation of the gas bearing formations. The latest borehole imager helped a great deal in overcoming the limitation of traditional imaging in high salinity mud and detailed sedimentological interpretation could be performed to understand the architecture of the reservoir.

Holistic Uncertainty Analysis for the Evaluation of Hydrocarbon Pore Volume from Petrophysical Data
More LessThe evaluation of the hydrocarbon pore volume (HPVOL) from petrophysical well log analysis is the starting point for calculating hydrocarbon in place (HIP), or in mature fields, the remaining hydrocarbon in place (RHIP). The understanding of these numbers and the associated uncertainty is critical to economic evaluation. HPVOL is normally calculated using a deterministic petrophysical workflow.

Reconstructing a Source Rock System — Silurian Onlap in Time and Space
By Pieter SpaakWith the rising interest in unconventional oil and gas plays, the need for better understanding and detailed reconstructions of source rock systems becomes even more important than for conventional plays. In this presentation, the base Silurian source rock on the Gondwana margin will be reviewed.

Integrating CMR, MRF Log and Conventional Logs in Devonian and Ordovician Formations — Illizi Basin, Algeria
Authors Baouche Rafik, Djeddi Mabrouk and Baddari KamelThis study presents an evaluation integrating MRF, CMR logs and conventional logs for the well Take-1, Illizi basin in Algeria. MRF, CMR logs and conventional logs provide formation permeability in different ways though the parameter can be derived in the three kinds of data.

Depositional Dynamics of Fortuna and Tellien Basin
More LessLitho-biostratigraphical correlation and detailed sedimentological analysis has been used as a tool to discriminate and illustrate the role of tectonics and eustasy in the configuration of the Fortuna and tellian basin of northern Tunisia, using 17 field sections of shallow to nonmarine oligo-miocene deposits distributed along NW-SE trending from Nefza-Kasseb to Tunisian Atlas domains.

Microseismic Event Spectrum Control and Strain Energy Release in Stressed Rocks
More LessStudying of passive seismicity concerns the physical processes of sound generation by cracks, propagation and recording of elastic waves. One of the main questions remains open - how do radiated elastic waves carry information about physical parameters of their sources (cracks) through a complex geomedium?

Exploration IT Technologies Monitoring
Authors Abbas A. Al-Ali and Ahmed F. BarradaMost of the monitoring of the Exploration IT Technologies in the industry are targeting physical components such as computer servers and storage devices. Another more efficient approach of monitoring is to identify the critical business services and tie them to their respective physical systems and infrastructure resources.
