The paper cites that the focus of the workshop was adapting advanced reservoir characterization technologies for independents use in identifying reservoir compartments. Seismic detection and reservoir analysis, facies descriptions, borehole imaging, dip meter logs and software analysis package technologies developed by the Majors, universities and large research facilities can be...
The bottom line of the paper, understands the principles of reservoir characterization and modeling for the complex reservoirs present in Mississippi/Alabama fosters additional oil and gas development and production. These principles are best illustrated through case studies showing how available data is gathered, analyzed and interpreted. It also states that...
Improved detection and characterization of microbial reefs will facilitate oil and gas development in the Eastern Gulf Region. Application of sequence stratigraphic concepts to microbial reef development provides a framework to interpret the distribution of reservoir rock in Upper Jurassic microbial reefs and to serve as a model for thrombolite...
This case study is of an old oilfield in West Virginia which reinforces the need for multidisciplinary reservoir characterization to solve well performance problems so that maximum reserves can be produced from declining domestic fields. Reservoir characterization may also help identify areas within these oil fields where undiscovered oil may...

Business Editors/High-Tech Writers Research Development and Design Expo 2003 WASHINGTON, D.C.--BUSINESS WIRE--Nov. 17, 2003 Research Development & Design (RD&D) Conference & Expo 2003 takes place Nov. 17 - 20 at the Marriott Wardman Park in Washington DC. For in-depth information about...
DANGEROUS MYTHS Since oil became vital to industrial societies, it has been the subject of mythmaking. This is not surprising since the control and pricing of energy is an emotionally charged issue that lends itself to conspiracy theories and distorted interpretations of past events....
Covering a range of technologies from reservoir geophysics, hydraulic stimulation evaluation, downhole waste disposal and offshore rig equipment handling, four proven technical advances are introduced and summarized here. The innovations described include: 1) examples of deepwell injection to dispose of oilfield wastes; 2) how passive...
The upstream oil and gas business has become more adept at leveraging technologies developed or applied in other industries and adapting them to meet critical exploration and production needs. One successful example of this ability is the Natural Gas and Oil Technology Partnership NGOTP that operates under...
From the earliest days of the National Research Council, achievements in applied chemistry were Fused effectively to win resources for research in support of Canadian industry. NRC's first project, begun in 1917, was the development of a briquette industry to relieve an impending...
