“Fractured Carbonate Reservoirs”

15-17 February 2012 | Bali, Indonesia

An AAPG-EAGE Joint GTW

Click here for the official announcement

The goal of the Geoscience Technology Workshop is to promote open discussion of the state-of-the-art on fractured carbonates. The forum is intended to promote collaboration on the impact of fractures in carbonates at both large and small scales. A range of session topics will integrate detailed observations and perspectives from inter-related fields of research such as structural geology, geomechanics, geophysics and reservoir engineering to better understand and predict the presence, distribution, controls and impact of fractures in carbonates.

Proposed sessions will include: structure & geomechanics; seismic identification; diagenesis; reservoir characterization; outcrop studies; SE Asia reservoir examples; worldwide reservoir examples; unconventional carbonates and the role of fractures; and a half-day core workshop.

Technical Program Contacts:

• Julie Kupecz, Pearl Energy Indonesia (a Mubadala Company)
• Sigit Sukmono, Institut Teknologi, Bandung
• Robert Park, Sherwood Holdings, Jakarta

Who should attend?

The target audience includes geotechnical professionals from industry and academia, both those actively working these topics and those wishing to learn more.

AAPG GTW
Unconventional Hydrocarbon Plays in Asia, 15-16 March 2012, Singapore Park Royal on Beach Road.

The goal of this workshop is to improve understanding of the distribution and quality of unconventional hydrocarbon plays throughout Asia. With a target geotechnical audience, this forum is intended to cover exploration for, and not marketing of, unconventional assets. The workshop will look at unconventional resource play mapping, estimate and analysis, sharing experience and ideas among the players in Asia during this very early phase of exploration to best use limited studies and conventional data to reduce risk. Proposed sessions will include Shale Gas Plays, Coal Seam Gas Plays and Other Alternate Hydrocarbon Plays for China, India and Southeast Asia, in detail and within the context of global analogues.

Highlights

Presentation, dynamic discussions and case studies from experts in the industry, including Dr. Christopher Schenk, USGS; Dr Zao Caineng, Petrochina; Arnout Everts, Leap Energy; Prithiraj Chungkam, IHS; Jason Pitcher, Halliburton-Sperry Drilling; Peter Cockcroft, Blue Energy; Li Jianzhong, Petrochina RIPED; and, Manoj Kumar Prabhakar (Consultant) and Prithiraj Chungkam of IHS.

Who Should Attend ?

• Unconventional Resources Geoscientists
• Unconventional Resources Asset Managers
• Asian Regulators

Sponsorship Opportunities available!
Enjoy the benefits of exposure at this event.  Contact Adrienne Pereira for information.

Alan Wegener, AAPG Global Development & Conventions Director, views Adrienne’s position strategically. According to Wegener,

“With Asia’s robust growth and a diverse and motivated Region leadership, AAPG has incredible opportunities in Asia. Adrienne has the drive and expertise to help cultivate the contacts and relationships we’ll need to build membership and develop new programs. With more than 24 years experience building and planning events in Singapore, she’s traveled and worked with professionals from most countries. That’s extremely important because she understands the cultural nuances and how business gets done.”

Working closely with Asia Pacific Region officers, AAPG Regions management, AAPG affiliated societies and other interested parties, Adrienne will help develop and deliver new programs and services to members and other geosciences professionals of the Region. Plans are already underway for offering Geosciences Technology Workshops (GTWs), short courses, topical conferences and symposia in the coming year. Singapore based, Adrienne will also enable AAPG to build closer relationships with the key NOCs, IOCs and services companies in the area.
Asia Pacific Region President, Joe Lambiase, sees Adrienne as a welcome addition to the regional team. And on behalf of the Region Council, he said,

“AAPG membership has been expanding rapidly in our geographically and culturally diverse region, and we feel fortunate to have someone as capable as Adrienne to maintain effective communication, coordinate activities and organize events. The expertise and experience that Adrienne brings to the new Regional Office in Singapore will be a catalyst for accelerating AAPG’s already strong growth rate in Asia-Pacific.”

The AAPG Foundation is pleased to announce the L. Austin Weeks Memorial Undergraduate Grant Program for the 2007-2008 school years. L. Austin Weeks Undergraduate Grant is a grant provided through the AAPG Foundation to benefit and support undergraduate geoscience students and their departments with educational expenses. The disbursement of the grant for the current school year will consist of a maximum amount of $1,000 per qualified student chapter. Half of the calculated grant will be given to a qualified undergraduate student. The remaining is for the geoscience department, and should be used to support educational activities of the Student Chapter, i.e. for equipment, conferences, fieldtrips, etc.
