WORKSHOP Drilling Today and Well Management Challenges in the Future: Are You Prepared? Sponsorship Support Sponsorship support helps offset the cost of producing workshops and allows SPE to keep the attendance price within reach of operations-level individuals, those who benefit most from these technical workshops. Sponsors benefit both directly and indirectly by having their names associated with a specific workshop. While SPE prohibits any type of commercialism within the conference hall itself, the society recognises that sponsoring companies offer valuable information to attendees outside the technical sessions. Sponsorship Categories Sponsorships are offered on a first come basis. Please contact SPE to verify the availability of a particular sponsorship. Existing sponsors have the opportunity to renew the same level of sponsorship for annual workshops. • Bronze • Luncheons - Per Day • Audio Visual Equipment Sponsorship Benefits In addition to on-site recognition; SPE will recognise sponsors on the SPE website and in all printed material for the workshop. Based on the sponsorship selected, sponsoring companies also receive logo visibility on promotional workshop items. For More Information For a detailed list of available sponsorships, including benefits and pricing, contact Loreen Nisha, at lnisha@spe.org. SAVE USD 400 BY REGISTERING BEFORE 30 OCTOBER 2010 Workshop Sponsors Welcome Reception Sponsor Schedule Tuesday, 30 November 2010 0800–0830 hours Badge Collection and Welcome Coffee 0845–0900 hours Welcome Address and Opening Remarks 0900–1230 hours Session 1: Drilling Design and Execution Challenges Session Chairs: Ben Mathis, Occidental of Oman; Chuck Arceneaux, Schlumberger Proper well design and successful execution are critical for ensuring the safety of personnel and the environment, ensuring the objectives of the well are reached and ensuring wellbore integrity for the expected life of the well. In this session, a series of presentations will be made on a selection of challenges that jeopardise the ability to achieve the above three critical elements of wellbore construction and how they have been addressed. Presentation topics will include: lost circulation and its impact on cementing operations; directional drilling issues such as anti-collision; difficult directional profiles; casing design and wellbore stability problems and mitigations such as casing while drilling associated with reactive formations. After the presentations, attendees will have an opportunity to openly discuss these and other related drilling design and execution challenges. 1230–1330 hours Luncheon 1330–1700 hours Session 2: Completion Design and Execution Challenges Session Chairs: Michael John Pitts, Maersk Oil Qatar AS; Rob Nisbet, RasGas In today’s challenging environment, the importance of effective completion design from initial planning, to execution, through to final well delivery, all play a vital role in overall well lifecycle performance. The ever increasing need to maximse recovery per well and reduce overall well count has led to step changes in design, stimulation techniques, quality control, risk assessments and operating practices. Recent advances in intelligent completions, stimulation design, open-hole packers, inflow control devices and big bore equipment to name a few, have all played their part in helping achieve our overall goal. As a result, completion complexity has increased substantially requiring us to overcome many technology challenges in pursuit of workable field solutions. This session will discuss some recent designs and best practices combining both technology and field application allowing an exchange of ideas through discussion regarding their effectiveness and thus identifying possible technology gaps/needs for future applications. 1700–1930 hours Welcome Reception kindly sponsored by Maersk Oil Qatar AS Wednesday, 1 December 2010 Gold Sponsor Silver Sponsor Bronze Sponsor Coffee Break Sponsor 30 November 2010 Coffee Break Sponsor 1 December 2010 0900–1230 hours Session 3: Well Integrity and Surveillance Session Chairs: Eric W. Pletcher, ExxonMobil; Steve Schwin, Schlumberger Effective well monitoring and well integrity management are necessary for safe and reliable operation of your well inventory and to maximise return on investment. Is your organisation equipped to address these challenging areas? This session will describe and discuss well parameters that should be monitored, new tools and technologies to acquire that data, and processes to use information to drive decisions and actions. We will review examples of building effective surveillance and integrity management programmes, and the organisational and process challenges that had to be addressed to effectively manage well inventory and risk. After the presentations, attendee’s will have an opportunity to openly discuss their experience regarding well surveillance and well integrity management. Participants will share their ideas for improving practices in this important facet of the well lifecycle and take away ideas and actions to effect change in their organisation. 1230–1330 hours Luncheon 1330–1730 hours Session 4: Intervention Session Chairs: Talib Abdulla Al-Murri, Qatar Petroleum; Wright Massey, RasGas Well intervention should deserve equal attention when considering the overall design as this forms a critical part of the overall lifecycle of a well. Initiatives are typically implemented during well construction to reduce development cost and rig downtime by focusing on appropriate methods and technologies. A similar approach towards maximising production uptime and sustaining long term production can be used to develop an integrated well intervention strategy. To promote the well lifecycle approach, initiatives can be implemented in advance of transitioning from development to the production phase to assess well intervention requirements including technical, operational and organisational issues. While planned interventions such as data acquisition programmes may appear as the major event; the unplanned interventions including remediation of aging wells, down-hole equipment failures and reservoir uncertainty can remain hidden until the need presents itself prompting extreme reactions in pursuing ideal solutions. This session will offer an insight on the approach and experience in managing both planned and unplanned interventions while balancing the cost and risk exposures.
Early Bird Registration Deadline: 30 October 2010 www.spe.org/events/10ado2 General Information Workshop Venue Oryx Rotana Al Nahda School Street P.O.

Workshops maximise the exchange of ideas among attendees and presenters through brief technical presentations followed by extended Q&A periods. Focused topics attract an informed audience eager to discuss issues critical to advancing both technology and best practices. The majority of the presentations are in the form of case studies, highlighting engineering achievements and lessons learnt. In order to stimulate frank discussion, no proceedings are published and the press is not invited to attend. Documentation • Proceedings will not be published; therefore, formal papers and handouts are not expected from speakers. • Work in progress, new ideas, and interesting projects are sought. • Professionally-prepared visual aids are not required; handwritten view graphs are entirely acceptable. • Note-taking by participants is encouraged. Poster Session The Steering Committee encourages registrations from professionals who are able to prepare and present a poster on a relevant project. For further details kindly contact Loreen Nisha, Country Manager - India at lnisha@spe.org. Attendance Registrations will be accepted on a first-come first-serve basis. The Steering Committee encourages attendance from those who can contribute to the workshop most effectively either in discussions or with posters. A mix of attendees in terms of geographic origin, companies and disciplines will be encouraged. Workshop Deliverables • The Steering Committee will appoint a “scribe” to record the discussions and to produce the full workshop report for SPE. • This report will be circulated to all attendees as the workshop deliverable within 4–6 weeks following the workshop. The copyright of the report is with SPE. • PowerPoint presentation materials will be posted on a specific SPE URL address after the workshop. Provision of the materials by the speakers will signify their permission for SPE to do so. Commercialism In keeping with ATW objectives and the SPE mission, commercialism in posters or presentations will not be permitted.
