Switch Examines 

Shifting Future 

of Global Energy 

Robin Beckwith, Senior Staff Writer 

Switch, a new documentary film directed by Harry 

Lynch and coproduced and featuring Scott Tinker 

as narrator and interviewer, explores the question, 

“What does the future of energy really hold?” A 

special showing of the film for ATCE attendees is 

being held this evening starting at 1930 at the Lila 

Cockrell Theater. 

According to Tinker, the choice of film as the medium 

to explore the various types of energy and our evolving 

energy mix “was the most powerful way to investigate 

the subject.” 

Tinker wears many hats. He is director of the Bureau 

of Economic Geology and the state geologist of Texas. 

And he is the acting associate dean for research and 

a professor holding the Allday Endowed Chair in the 

Jackson School of Geosciences at The University of 

Texas at Austin. 

Harry Lynch, the film’s director, coproducer, and 

cowriter, found it important to make the film “because 

energy makes modern life possible.” 

Tinker says what sets Switch apart from other 

documentaries that explore the topic of energy is “We

Time To Reflect and Look Forward 

Ganesh Thakur, 2012 SPE President 

elcome to San Antonio for the 2012 SPE 

W Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition 

(ATCE). I am excited to share this important event 

with you. It is time to reflect on the past year and 

all that we have accomplished and to look forward 

to what we want to achieve. This past year as your 

president has affected my life in so many ways. SPE 

is the foremost professional organization for those 

working in the oil and gas industry. With its many 

technical resources and a strong commitment to its 

mission, SPE is here to help all of you achieve your 

professional goals. 

In January, SPE reached a significant milestone 

by surpassing 100,000 members globally. With 

the society doubling in size in just the past 

10 years, it is now challenged with how to best 

serve all of its members, who live and work all over 

the world. This year, SPE has met the challenge 

head on by offering more programs and services 

to its members and to the industry. SPE has also 

done a tremendous job in training and education 

this year. It offered 120 courses globally, a 200% 

increase over what it 

offered just a couple of 

years ago. 

One of the most 

valuable assets that 

SPE offers is OnePetro, 

a multisociety online 

resource with more 

than 130,000 technical 

papers. There isn’t 

a project that I work 

on where I don’t 

Thakur 

use OnePetro. This 

year, SPE has introduced a few new technical 

resources. It started the development of 

PetroWiki, a knowledge capture and sharing wiki 

for the E&P industry, and launched Oil and Gas 

Facilities, a bimonthly magazine, in response 

to the needs of our members. I see even more 

development opportunities as membership 

continues to grow in developing countries and our

responsibility to educate young 

professionals takes a clearer path 

around the world. 

This is also an important time for 

SPE members to reflect on how they 

can give back to the industry. Any 

professional should give something 

back to his or her organization or 

profession. There are many ways 

our members can give back, through 

involvement in a technical section, 

helping to create conferences or 

summits that cover topics important to 

our industry, editing and contributing 

to peer-reviewed journals, and much 

more. Regardless of how you give back, 

choose something that aids a cause 

that is important to you and that helps 

you stay engaged in SPE. 

This has been an exciting year for 

SPE and for me. I am honored to have 

the opportunity to serve you as your 

president and give back to a society 

that has given so much to me. The 

future of our industry is bright, and I 

encourage everyone to become active 

and take a leadership role because 

what we do is important and we 

will be here for the next 50 years or 

even longer. 

Thank you again, and I look forward 

to speaking with you this week. 

Lyn Arscott Headlines 25-Year Club Breakfast 

The SPE 25-Year Club will hold 

a breakfast with a keynote 

presentation from former SPE 

President Lyn Arscott from 0700 to 

0900 today in Room 006A/B/C of 

the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention 

Center. An event ticket purchase 

is required. 

The 25-Year Club, a special lounge 

for SPE members with 25 years or 

more of continuous membership, will 

be open daily throughout this year’s 

conference. The lounge is also open 

to Century Club members, current 

and former SPE Board officers and 

directors, as well as this year’s SPE 

International award winners and 

Distinguished Lecturers. 

Members of the club’s committee 

oversee its operation and invite all 

eligible members to stop by, relax, 

catch up with old friends, and reconnect 

with fellow members. The 

club is located in Room 206B of the 

convention center and will be open 

from 0800 to 1600 on Monday and 

Tuesday and from 0800 to 1400 

on Wednesday.

started with a question then went 

out to find the answers, working 

hard to remain unbiased and open to 

new ideas.” 

According to Lynch, the basic goal 

is “to start a balanced … energy 

conversation with this film.” 

Going Where Few 

Have Gone Before 

Even for people who work in the 

energy industry, the breadth and scope 

of it eludes most. 

The filmmakers drive deep into a 

mountain in Norway and show us a 

hydro project whose soaring ceiling 

and art reminiscent of stained glass 

make one think of the grandeur of 

a cathedral. 

They take us inside the virtually 

impregnable walls of a nuclear facility, 

to fields of sorghum and switch grass, 

to the vast expanse of the world’s 

largest coal mine, to an enormous 

liquefied natural gas tanker in Qatar 

with a protective cascade of water 

falling over its hull, inside and up to 

the top of a wind turbine in Denmark, 

inside a steam plant in the oil sands 

of northern Canada, to the Perdido 

platform 200 miles offshore Texas, 

to the steaming waters outside a 

geothermal plant in Iceland. 

They fly us over the Strait of Hormuz 

in the Middle East to glimpse an 

Iranian platform in the waters, and 

across Roscoe, the world’s largest 

wind farm, located in west Texas. We 

see the crowded streets of India, the 

shining arrays of solar panels in Spain, 

the complex inner workings of an 

electricity grid switching plant in Texas. 

The Film’s Experts 

Within one film, the viewer gets 

a chance to learn why gasoline is 

such an attractive fuel, how the US’s 

electricity grid is an almost miraculous 

interplay between supply and demand, 

why nuclear energy might not be so 

scary after all, how clean alternative 

energy sources such as solar, wind, 

geothermal, and hydro are rooted in 

geology and location. 

Fifty-three expert interviews were 

conducted, 44 of which were included 

in the film. The experts include 

renewable energy specialists, fossil fuel 

energy specialists, plant managers for 

all energy types, many of the world’s 

leading energy experts in government 

and academia, and several chief 

executive officers of international fossil 

fuel and renewable energy companies. 

Forecasting the Switch 

According to Lynch, “If we’re going to 

take viewers around the world and 

investigate the pros, cons, and future 

of different energy types, we’d better 

show how it all fits together to form 

our energy transition and exactly how 

and when that could happen.” 

About his energy forecast, Tinker 

said, “Many find it hopeful in that, if 

we work together, we can supply the 

world’s growing demand for energy. 

Others find it sobering in that the

Theater. Credit: Arcos Films. 

switch doesn’t happen as fast as they 

hoped it could.” He stressed, “What 

each of us does, matters.” 

The Switch Energy Project 

Switch took 2 years to film and 1 year 

to edit. It is being rolled out in a series 

of screenings and is available to book 

for private screenings. Find out more 

about where you can see the film by 

visiting www.switchenergyproject 

.com/screenings.php. 

The documentary film is part 

of the Switch Energy Project 

(www.switchenergyproject.com), 

whose broad purpose is to provide a 

source of information covering the full 

spectrum of energy types. Almost 300 

short interviews are available on the 

site, covering the project’s wide range 

of subjects, technologies, locales, 

and experts. 

In addition, by early 2013, the 

Switch Energy Project will provide an 

education program for US elementary, 

middle, and high school curricula, 

available free, with downloadable 

guides for teachers.

principal author of several major 

IHS CERA studies, including “Fueling 

North America’s Energy Future: The 

Unconventional Natural Gas Revolution 

and the Carbon Agenda” and “In 

Search of Reasonable Certainty: Oil and 

Gas Reserves Disclosures.” 

Also in the spotlight this year is the 

largely underappreciated projects, 

facilities, and construction technical 

discipline. Tonight, four expert 

panelists will discuss the problems 

overcome and lessons learned 

in four challenging megaprojects 

during the “Learnings from Facilities 

Megaprojects Dinner.”

ResSCAN Fracture Diagnostic: 

This attribute map, from a multicomponent seismic ResSCAN, shows 

the naturally occurring fracture complexity in the reservoir interval. The 

yellow areas indicate multi-directional natural fracturing and correlate 

with wells having above average total production. The blue-black areas 

indicate areas with no fracturing or fractures in a single direction. 

Reduce development costs in resource plays with ION’s 3D ResSCAN seismic data 

programs. Managed by ION’s GeoVentures group and imaged by ION’s GX Technology 

data processing group, ResSCAN programs fully leverage upfront geological, petrophysical, 

and rock physics analysis to establish which seismic attributes, potentially from 

multicomponent data, tie the geology and rock physics for a given shale play. As a 

result, operators gain vital information to help them make better drilling and completion 

engineering decisions. To learn more, visit iongeo.com/ResSCAN.

SPE TODAY 

Technical Program Selects 350 Papers From 1,500 Proposals 

Joel Parshall, JPT Features Editor 

With more than 350 papers 

and 120 ePosters slated for 

presentation over 3 days, the technical 

program for the 2012 SPE Annual 

Technical Conference and Exhibition 

(ATCE) “is very exciting,” said Luis 

Baez of BG Group, Technical Program 

Committee chairman. “I’ve been 

reading a lot of the papers, and we’ve 

got some really strong ones. The 

papers chosen for the conference came 

from almost 1,500 proposals, so the 

process was very selective,” he said. 

“This is the largest engineering 

event in the world for petroleum 

engineers and all of the engineering 

functions in the industry. That’s what 

makes the ATCE unique. It enables 

professionals in every engineering 

function in the oil and gas industry, 

as well as geologists, petrophysicists, 

and other technical professionals, to 

be in the same place for 4 or 5 days 

to learn and exchange ideas. And this 

year’s location couldn’t be any better. 

San Antonio is in the heart of one of 

the biggest North American oil booms 

in a long time. With the explosion of 

activity in unconventional resources, 

this is an exciting time to be in 

the industry.” 

The industry has a huge demand for 

technical expertise, and companies are 

striving to find the right people to meet 

the needs of unconventional oil and 

gas development, deepwater projects, 

and a variety of other challenges. “The 

major shift for the industry in recent 

years has been a much greater reliance 

on younger professionals and people 

fresh out of school,” Baez said. “The 

ATCE provides a good opportunity to 

speed up that learning curve through 

knowledge sharing.” 

Students can find the conference 

particularly beneficial. “Just this past 

year, we hired two young people—one 

from the University of Oklahoma and 

one from Texas A&M—whom we met 

at last year’s ATCE,” Baez said. “They 

introduced themselves and expressed 

interest in joining the industry. With 

that initiative, we eventually extended 

them job offers.” 

One way that SPE annually maintains 

a high caliber technical program at the 

conference is by bringing a substantial 

number of new individuals into the 

program committee each year. “We 

bring in new leadership to the chair 

and vice chair positions annually as 

well as slot in regular replacements 

on each subcommittee,” said Tom Gee 

of Weatherford, Technical Program 

Committee vice chairman. “We keep 

the program dynamic through this 

rotation process. Our program does 

not get stale because of the new 

perspectives offered by the committee 

every year.”

Projects, Facilities, Construction Discipline Gets the Spotlight 

John Donnelly, JPT Editor 

Special events, panels, and technical 

sessions will highlight the projects, 

facilities, and construction technical 

discipline during this year’s conference 

as this increasingly important E&P 

sector continues to gain stature. 

The discipline has attracted more 

attention as global oil and gas projects 

have become more complex and 

technically challenging, including 

ultradeepwater developments, subsea 

processing, unconventional gas, 

stranded gas, remote locations, harsh 

environments, and water handling 

issues. SPE responded to the need 

for more technical information and 

knowledge sharing in the discipline by 

expanding conference sessions and 

workshops and launching the Oil and 

Gas Facilities magazine earlier this year. 

Tonight, experts will discuss some 

of the largest and most innovative 

projects in the oil and gas industry, 

ones that have set the standard to 

follow. The “Learnings From Facilities 

Megaprojects” dinner and panel 

session will take place beginning 

at 1930 in Room 006 A-C, River 

Level, of the convention center. Ken 

Arnold, senior technical adviser 

with WorleyParsons, will moderate 

the session that includes panelists 

Abdulrahman Al-Jarri, manager of 

Production and Facilities Development 

Department at Saudi Aramco; Gordon 

Sterling, consultant and Shell retiree; 

Ivan Garcia Santos, manager of 

topside engineering at Petrobras; and 

Edward W. Merrow, president and 

chief executive officer of Independent 

Project Analysis. 

The projects to be discussed include 

• Installation of massive production 

facilities in a short time to handle 

several million BOPD in Saudi 

Arabia 

• Large offshore facilities in Brazil 

• Pioneering of deepwater projects 

in the Gulf of Mexico 

• Canadian oil sands projects in 

Alberta 

Tickets for the event will be available 

for purchase in the Registration area 

and at the door tonight. 

This afternoon, a technical paper 

session on “Enhancement of Facilities 

Technology” will take place beginning 

at 1400 in Room 205. Session 

chairpersons are Hisham Saadawi of 

ADCO and Ted Frankiewicz of SPEC 

Services. Six papers will be presented 

on various operator experiences 

with enhancing the performance of 

facilities using design optimization, 

life extension of existing facilities, and 

improved economics. 

Two events will take place on 

Tuesday. Beginning at 0830 in Room 

212, a panel session on “Challenges in 

Projects, Facilities, and Construction” 

will be moderated by Jeff Sawchuk 

of BP and Bob Hubbard of John M. 

Campbell. The session will discuss 

challenges that engineers and 

managers will face over the next 

several years in bringing projects to 

completion on time and within budget. 

Panelists are Dick Westney of Westney 

Consulting Group, Cheryl Wiewiorowski 

of BP, Mike Mileo of Chevron, and John 

Walsh, formerly of Shell and now of 

GHD Group. 

Later in the day, a technical paper 

session on “Facilities Technology 

Applications” will take place beginning 

at 1400 in Room 212. The session 

will be chaired by Wael F. Ellaithy of 

Arabian Oil and Walsh, who is also 

SPE’s Technical Director for Projects,

disposal. The session will 

cover separation topics 

ranging from issues with 

conventional separator 

design to emerging 

technology trends.

SPE TODAY 

Social Media Grows as Easy Way for Members To Connect 

Anthony D. Darby, SPE Communications Specialist, Social Media 

Social media is not a fad. Social 

media is not just for the uberyoung. 

Right now, many SPE members 

are gaining valuable information, 

connecting with like minds, and sharing 

experiences globally through many 

social media platforms. 

Welcome to ATCE 2012. Whether it’s 

to grow your professional expertise, 

network, exhibit, or share, you 

recognize the importance of being at a 

place where you can benefit immensely 

professionally. That is also the purpose 

of SPE’s social media platforms. 

Through Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, 

and YouTube, SPE members (you) are 

privy to tailored, community-specific 

information. A misconception many 

have is that they must be an expert on 

social media to take advantage of what 

it has to offer. Not true. Each of the 

platforms SPE employs is user friendly 

and even has step-by-step guides 

on specifics. 

Want to discuss the latest industry 

innovations and news? How about 

keep up with the latest SPE Section 

and Student Chapter news? Interested 

in connecting with members on the 

other side of the world about your 

technical discipline? How about 

sharing papers and takeaways from 

events? Our platforms answer and 

encompass all of these questions and 

more. Whatever the case, we’ve got 

you covered. 

If you don’t understand the breadth 

of social media, consider this: In just 

2 years of existence, our Facebook 

platform has more than 25,000 

community members while LinkedIn 

has more than 42,000. That’s globally— 

and growing. Furthermore, these 

platforms are not just “numbers.” SPE 

staff monitors them closely to ensure 

that the conversations revolve around 

the industry and the professionals 

who work in it. These platforms are 

composed of seasoned industry 

professionals, young professionals, and 

students, all with experience in and 

surrounding the petroleum industry, all 

available at your fingertips. 

Why should you connect on these 

platforms? First, they are professionally 

useful conversations, and, second, 

because they are value-added 

extensions of your membership. 

In addition to section meetings, 

publication subscriptions, networking 

opportunities, and events, social media 

gives you access to real-time, SPEspecific 

and industry news, updates, 

and the ability to connect and share 

with like minds. 

Don’t wait to connect with SPE 

and its members on social media. 

Now is as good a time as any. Use the 

corresponding social media guide on 

this page to find the platform that’s 

best for you. 

You can also take advantage of the 

ATCE mobile app. There, you can view 

the live Facebook and Twitter feeds to 

see instantly what the communities are 

talking about. 

Join the conversation. Share your 

ATCE experience, post a question for 

SPE President Ganesh Thakur, leave 

a comment about a technical session 

or activity you attended, and make 

professional and personal contacts 

with others here in San Antonio 

and around the world you normally 

wouldn’t have the opportunity 

to meet. 

Happy connecting.

Dining Opportunities in San Antonio Overflow the Riverwalk 

Adam Wilson, SPE Today Editor 

San Antonio is known as the 

birthplace of Tex-Mex food, and 

the restaurant offerings in the city 

show why. 

But Tex-Mex isn’t the only cuisine 

that’s done well here. San Antonio is 

home to one of the campuses of the 

Culinary Institute of America, and 

diners benefit. Steakhouses, Italian 

bistros, and barbecue joints—many 

along the Riverwalk—all contribute 

to the wide offering of great 

food available. 

Here is just a sample of some of the 

delicious dining opportunities available. 

This list is by no means exhaustive, so 

look around; you’re bound to stumble 

upon a treasure. 

Biga on the Banks (American) 

www.biga.com 

203 S. Saint Mary’s St. 

(210) 225-0722 

The chef at Biga on the Banks works 

up a fresh menu every day in addition 

to the restaurant’s standard meals, 

such as grilled Ahi tuna and artichoke 

roasted pork tenderloin. The daily 

menu is a three-course meal complete 

with appetizer, entrée, and dessert and 

includes seasonal specials created from 

local growers. If you’re looking to try a 

bit of it all, the Chef’s Table is a five- to 

seven-course sampling menu offered 

to parties of eight or more. 

Bohanan’s (Steak, Seafood) 

www.bohanans.com 

219 E. Houston St., Second Floor 

(210) 472-2600 

Bohanan’s is consistently at the top of 

the list when it comes to steakhouses 

in San Antonio. Bohanan’s serves 

Akaushi beef. Akaushi cattle originated 

in Japan and are raised with an 

emphasis on a healthful diet and 

humane treatment, producing tender, 

juicy, and healthful beef. The elegant 

restaurant also offers live jazz to go 

with its cocktails and steaks from 1900 

to 2230 Tuesday through Thursday. 

County Line (Barbecue) 

www.countyline.com 

111 W. Crockett St. 

(210) 229-1941 

Down the Riverwalk, next to the Hard 

Rock Café, sits The County Line, a 

funky roadhouse-style barbecue joint. 

Traditional Hill Country barbecue—ribs, 

brisket, chicken, and sausage—have 

been transplanted by this chain from 

Austin. In addition to the tasty Texas 

barbecue, The County Line may be the 

perfect place to stop for a refreshing 

afternoon margarita. 

Boudro’s (Texas, Southwestern) 

www.boudros.com 

421 E. Commerce St. 

(210) 224-8484 

Boudro’s is a staple restaurant in 

San Antonio, known far and wide for 

its intimate atmosphere and southwestern 

flavor, including smoked 

shrimp enchiladas, blackened prime 

rib, and seafood from the Gulf 

of Mexico. Boudro’s is set up to 

accommodate large parties or intimate 

meals, either inside or on one of its 

special river barges on the San 

Antonio River. 

Several restaurants offer meals on river boats so diners can enjoy more of the Riverwalk while they eat. Credit: SACVB

San Antonio is home to one of the campuses of the Culinary Institute of America. 

As such, it is also home to some of the best cuisine Texas has to offer. Credit: 

SACVB photo/David Swanson. 

Acenar (Tex-Mex) 

acenar.com 

146 E. Houston St. 

(210) 222-2362 

An innovative and contemporary 

Mexican restaurant and bar on the 

Riverwalk, Acenar presents meals 

“inspired by the history and heritage 

of Mexico and Texas.” The restaurant’s 

innovative design, both inside and on 

the patio, matches its cuisine. And its 

innovation continues up to its streetlevel 

bar, Átomar. 

Zuni Grill (Southwestern) 

www.zunigrill.com 

223 Losoya St. 

(210) 227-0864 

Zuni Grill, like many restaurants on 

the Riverwalk, sits at a picturesque 

bend in the river. Zuni’s spicy and 

colorful cuisine (the restaurant touts 

its fire-roasted salsa and Blue Corn 

Chicken Enchiladas) make for a bright 

dining experience. Zuni Grill is open for 

breakfast, too. 

Mi Tierra (Tex-Mex) 

www.mitierracafe.com 

205 E. Guenther St. 

(210) 227-1061 

Mi Tierra in Market Square is open 24 

hours and keeps its Christmas lights 

up all year, too. The loud, colorful 

atmosphere is accented with strolling 

musicians and good classic Tex-Mex. 

Casa Rio (Tex-Mex) 

www.casa-rio.com 

430 E. Commerce St. 

(210) 225-6718 

Casa Rio opened in 1946 as the 

first restaurant on the Riverwalk. In 

addition to restaurant and patio dining, 

Casa Rio offers river boat dining. The 

boats can hold 20 people for dining 

or 30 people for a cocktail cruise. 

Reservations are required. 

La Gloria (Mexican) 

www.lagloriaicehouse.com 

100 East Grayson St. 

(210) 267-9040 

At the edge of the Pearl Brewery, La 

Gloria offers authentic Mexican street 

foods, the kind you normally only find 

from the street vendors and taquerias 

in Mexico. Here, you will find tacos al 

pastor like you would find in Mexico 

City and tlayudas like you would get 

in Oaxaca. 

Rosarios (Mexican) 

www.rosariossa.com 

910 S. Alamo St. 

(210) 223-1806 

Rosario’s Mexican Café y Cantina, 

where a colorful and loud environment 

and vibrant Latino art collection set the 

tone, is spicy all around. The door to 

the restaurant’s fresh Mexican food is 

opened by a sample of the restaurant’s 

award-winning salsa, and the heat 

continues throughout the meal. 

Bella On the River (Mediterranean) 

www.bellaontheriver.com 

106 E. River Walk St. 

(210) 404-2355 

Bella’s small and intimate wine bar and 

dining room reflect a small Spanish 

bistro or Italian grotto, with natural 

limestone walls and candle-lit tables. 

The menu includes delicacies and 

staples such as Eggplant Josephine, 

Calamari Fritto, grilled lamb chops, 

and Veal Scaloppini. This year, Bella on 

the River was named the San Antonio 

Express-News Critics’ Choice for Best 

Riverwalk Restaurant. 

Paesanos (Italian, Mediterranean) 

www.paesanosriverwalk.com 

111 W. Crockett St. #101 

(210) 227-2782 

Paesanos sits nestled on one of the 

bends in the river. It has made a name 

for itself with its Shrimp Paesano and 

an extensive wine list to ensure that 

the right wine is paired with any meal 

on the menu. If the weather’s nice, take 

your dinner al fresco and watch the 

river and the world roll by.

SPE TODAY 

Contests, Sessions Aim to Engage Students, Young Professionals 

Joel Parshall, JPT Features Editor 

Student and young professional 

(YP) members will find a slate of 

events and sessions designed to meet 

their interests and needs at the 2012 

SPE Annual Technical Conference 

and Exhibition. 

In the PetroBowl, scheduled from 

0800 to 1700 today, student chapter 

teams will compete in a tournamentstyle 

contest that tests knowledge 

of the oil and gas exploration 

and production industry and SPE. 

Sponsored by PetroSkills, the event 

is full of energy and enthusiasm and 

is always popular. A reception for the 

teams, sponsored by ExxonMobil, will 

immediately follow the contest. 

The international student paper 

contest is slated from 0900 to 1700 

today and will feature presenters 

from around the world competing 

in the undergraduate, master’s, 

and PhD divisions. The winners will 

be determined immediately after 

the presentations. 

The young professionals’ reception 

will be held from 1730 to 1900 today. 

The event is complimentary, but 

tickets are required and are obtainable 

at registration. 

A new session, “Cross-Generational 

Teams Adding Value to the Workplace,” 

is scheduled from 0900 to 1445 

Tuesday for students, YPs, and 

professionals at all stages of their 

careers. Participants will work within 

a cross-generational team to solve an 

industry-related challenge provided 

in a case study. The facilitator for 

the session will be C. Susan Howes, 

reservoir management consultant 

with Chevron. 

The idea behind the session is 

that, whether students, young 

professionals, those in 

midcareer, or seasoned 

professionals, everyone 

encounters challenges 

in the workplace. 

Overcoming those 

challenges requires a 

combination of technical 

skills, soft skills, and 

teamwork. The event 

will allow participants 

to practice these skills 

by working within a 

cross-generational team 

to solve a challenge. Participants will 

be given a case study, allowing them 

to hone their skills in communication, 

negotiation, and collaboration to 

present a solution. 

The session is sponsored by Aera 

and is supported by the SPE Soft Skills 

Council, the SPE Young Professionals 

just 

because you’re 

breaking ground, 

doesn’t mean 

you’re using 

groundbreaking 

technology. 

Expect the Unconventional 

Howes 

Scott 

Coordinating Committee, and the SPE 

Talent Council. 

A session for faculty advisors and 

section student liaison officers is 

slated from 1000 to 1200 Tuesday. 

Participants will discuss how they can 

work more effectively together, share 

best practices, and identify better ways 

to engage students as the professionals 

of tomorrow. 

Several student events were held 

Sunday. The day opened with a 

student meet-and-greet session, 

sponsored by Newfield Exploration. 

Following that was the student awards 

luncheon, sponsored by BHP Billiton. It 

marked the first time that the student 

awards have been given at an event 

specifically for students. Dan Scott, 

senior technical adviser at Baker 

Hughes, gave the keynote address. 

The Gold Standard Achievement and 

Outstanding Student chapters were 

honored, along with scholarship 

recipients and the regional paper 

contest winners who are competing 

in today’s international student 

paper contest. 

Also new to ATCE was the session 

“Student Great Ideas—Hear Our Voice,” 

sponsored by Getenergy. Students 

competed in teams to create their own 

technical or professional workshop on 

a subject of their choosing. The winning 

team earned the right to take its 

concept to full design and production. 

Getenergy will fly the team to London, 

where the company will host the 

workshop at its 2013 global conference. 

In addition, the student chapter 

officer workshop was held Sunday. 

Training Department 

Directs 19 Courses 

T 

he SPE Global Training Department 

oversaw the instruction of 

12 courses on Saturday and 

Sunday. Topics included hydraulic 

fracturing, forecasting, shale 

selection, asset management, and 

reservoir simulation. 

Seven more training sessions will 

be offered on Thursday at the Henry 

B. Gonzalez Convention Center on the 

River Level. Onsite registration will 

open at 0700. Those interested can 

also register by visiting the SPE main 

registration center at the front of the 

exhibit floor. 

Post-conference training will cover 

artificial lift, coiled tubing, horizontal 

well completions, and much more. 

To find out more, visit the Training 

Department inside the SPE Pavilion or

City’s Art and History Mix Vibrantly, Providing Much to See 

Adam Wilson, SPE Today Editor 

Welcome to San Antonio, deep 

in the heart of Texas. Certainly, 

visiting a city for a convention doesn’t 

leave much time to explore; but, if 

you find yourself with time to venture 

outside of the convention, the city has 

many gems to be discovered. Because 

San Antonio is such a varied and vibrant 

city, the following is just a sample of 

things to do while you’re in town if you 

have a bit more time. If nothing else, 

take time to stroll down the Riverwalk 

and mosey over to see the Alamo. 

Paseo del Rio 

The San Antonio River snakes through 

the heart of the city, cutting through 

the convention center where SPE’s 

Annual Technical Convention and 

Exhibition is being held. One floor 

below street level, the Riverwalk winds 

for approximately 5 miles, although 

an expansion project will extend the 

trail to 15 miles by 2013. The paths 

along the river connect the convention 

center and the Rivercenter Mall across 

the street to many of the area’s hotels, 

restaurants, and attractions. 

Open-air boats ferry people up and 

down the river, taking visitors on tours 

of the area and stopping along the way 

at restaurants, hotels, the convention 

center, and the mall. Some of these 

boats even double as places to dine. A 

boat tour costs USD 8.25 for general 

admission. The Rio Taxi service costs 

USD 5 one way or USD 10 for a 24-hour 

pass and USD 25 for a 3-day pass. 

Tour boats drift gently down the San Antonio River. A tour costs USD 8.25 per person. Credit: SACVB Photo/Al Rendon. 

Overview 

The Pearl Brewery originally opened 

as a brewery in 1881. It functioned as 

a brewery until 2001, when it began 

its transformation into the dining 

and shopping center it is today. The 

brewery is now home to several 

restaurant and shops, giving visitors a 

slice of San Antonio in one spot. 

If you’re looking for more than just 

a sample of the city, the Tower of the 

Americas can show you the whole 

enchilada. Rising 750 ft above the 

convention center, the tower provides 

full 360° view of the city. The Chart 

House restaurant sits at the top of the 

tower, slowly rotating so diners can 

see the whole city without leaving 

their tables. Tickets to the tower are 

USD 10.95 and include access to the 

observation deck. 

History and Heritage 

For those looking for an even broader 

view, The Institute of Texan Cultures 

showcases the diversity of culture 

in Texas. The museum, which is 

associated with the Smithsonian 

Institution, is just across the street 

from the Tower of the Americas. Built 

along with the tower for the 1968 

HemisFair, the museum now serves 

as Texas’ center for multicultural 

education, with exhibits designed to 

entertain and educate. 

San Antonio has plenty of 

opportunities to get in touch with 

its Spanish history. The Spanish 

Governor’s Palace downtown near 

City Hall was the seat of government 

when San Antonio was the capital of 

the Spanish Province of Texas. It is 

open to the public and is next to the

missions and site of the Battle of the Alamo during the Texas Revolution.

San Fernando Cathedral, which houses 

the nation’s oldest cathedral sanctuary; 

construction began in 1731. 

The city is also home to the Mission 

Trail, a route dotted with remnants 

of Spain’s conquest of the area. The 

first mission was constructed around 

1720. Ultimately, five missions were 

constructed, and they still stand as 

historical monuments. The missions are 

open for visits from 0900 to 1730 and 

give a glimpse of life when San Antonio 

was the frontier. 

The most famous of these missions 

is the Alamo, originally known as 

Mission San Antonio de Valero. The 

Alamo was the first mission established 

in San Antonio and was already 100 

years old when it fell during the 

Battle of the Alamo during the Texas 

Revolution in 1836. Approximately 200 

people, almost the entire population 

of the mission, died defending the 

mission against 1,500 Mexican troops 

during that battle. To this day, Texans 

remember the Alamo as a symbol of 

struggle against insurmountable odds. 

While the Alamo is the most famous 

of San Antonio’s missions, Mission 

Concepcion has been called the most 

beautiful. Restoration and preservation 

efforts ensure the mission looks almost 

as it did more than 200 years ago. 

More remote than its sister 

missions, Mission Espada houses the 

best-preserved part of the medieval 

irrigation system used to water the 

fields. Parts of the system remain in 

use today. 

Mission San Jose and Mission 

San Juan complete the collection of 

missions in and around San Antonio. 

San Jose was established in 1720 and 

has been called Queen of the Missions 

because of its grand stone walls, 

bastions, and church. San Juan has a 

still-functioning, open bell tower and 

includes a self-guided nature trail. 

The Art of Texas 

The San Antonio Museum of Art 

is down the Riverwalk from the 

convention center at Jones Avenue. 

The museum is closed on Mondays 

but is free on Tuesdays from 1600 to 

2100. Current exhibitions are “Rostros 

de Maria: The Virgin as Archetype 

and Inspiration,” a look at how the 

Virgin Mary has been portrayed in 

art throughout the centuries; “Adad 

Hannah: Intimate Encounters,” staged 

photographs and video tableaux that 

reinterpret historical art masterpieces; 

“Love in Three Capitals,” prints from 

the late 17th and early 18th centuries 

that portray life in the three capitals 

of Japan—Edo, Osaka, and Kyoto; and 

“Aphrodite and the Gods of Love,” a 

collection of ancient Greek statues 

and other representations centered 

on Aphrodite. 

The city also is dotted with eclectic 

art districts. La Villita and Market 

Square are two great collections of art 

and culture. La Villita, “the little village,” 

was one of San Antonio’s original 

settlements, developed in the late 18th 

century. Now, it is a haven for artists 

and craftsmen selling jewelry, stained 

glass, and other handcrafts, as well as 

fashions from Mexico and Guatemala. 

Dating to 1840, Market Square (El 

Mercado) is the largest Mexican 

marketplace north of the Rio Grande 

and a great place to find mementos of 

your visit to the Lone Star State.

New Technical Section Focuses on Data-Driven Analytics 

Robin Beckwith, Senior Staff Writer 

If you’re interested in learning 

more about the cutting-edge 

subjects of data mining and predictive 

analytics in oil and gas, tonight’s 

reception to launch the new SPE 

technical section Petroleum Data- 

Driven Analytics (PD 2 A) might be 

just what you’re looking for. It will 

be held from 1930 to 2200 at the 

Iron Cactus Grill on the San Antonio 

Riverwalk. Speakers include Matthew 

Denesuk, manager of natural resources 

modeling and social analytics, IBM 

Research Partner, IBM Venture Capital 

Group, and Fareed AlSayed Abdulla, 

SPE Regional Director, Middle East 

Region, and senior vice president 

(Bab & Gas) of Abu Dhabi Onshore 

Oil Operations. 

Abdulla said he is delighted with 

the launching of the PD 2 A Technical 

Section. “The appropriate use of 

data has been historically one of the 

greatest challenges of our industry,” he 

said. “Now more than ever.” 

“Our industry acquires and generates 

an extraordinary amount of data every 

day,” he said. “On its own, the task of 

handling and warehousing this data 

safely is significant. Even so, data in 

and of itself has limited value. Only 

when we use that data and turn it into 

information and knowledge can we 

benefit from it.” 

“Paradoxically,” he continued, “the 

very process of converting data into 

knowledge generates its own data—or 

metadata—that must also be analyzed, 

classified, and understood to yield 

further insight.” 

Converting Data to Wisdom 

Including 3D and 4D seismic data 

generated during exploration and 

data generated every second from 

thousands of sensors during drilling 

and operations, the oil and gas industry 

is accumulating enormous amounts 

of data. The challenge is converting 

these data into insights that can be 

used in decision-making, perhaps 

even in some cases reaching a point 

at which decision-making can be 

fully automated. 

The following are examples 

that illustrate the breadth of the 

opportunity PD 2 A technology has to 

impact E&P decision-making processes: 

Drilling and Completions—Data 

mining, neural networks, and expert 

systems can use data captured during 

drilling to oversee the drilling operation 

in real time, detect potential issues, 

alarm and provide potential solutions, 

or even take corrective action. 

Health, Safety, Security, 

Environment, and Social 

Responsibility—Surrogate models 

can be used to study air pollution 

and water pollution dispersion 

patterns. The application of such 

technologies will help in predicting loss 

of containment of hydrocarbons and 

potential impact on the environment. 

Management and Information— 

Data mining, artificial intelligence, 

and surrogate models can be used 

to optimize how water injection is 

distributed in a waterflooded reservoir. 

This is a key factor in maximizing 

the value of waterflooding in 

upstream operations. 

Projects, Facilities, and Construction—Intelligent 

algorithms using 

simple models can be used to optimize 

the size of facilities, taking into account 

the full field development life cycle. 

Production and Operations—Making 

no assumptions about the complex 

physics or the geology of a field, large 

quantities of easily obtained production 

and operational data can be used to 

identify wells that are candidates for 

intervention, using diagnostic and 

prognostic capabilities that indicate the 

health of the well or facility. 

Reservoir Description and 

Dynamics—Production data can be 

used to develop full-field reservoir 

models to identify production and 

injection infill locations faster and 

complement existing reservoir 

modeling to reduce uncertainty in 

model results. 

PRODUCTION ENHANCEMENT

PD 2 A’s Auspicious Launch 

According to the PD 2 A Technical 

Section chairperson, Shawn Shirzadi, 

program manager for the Data 

Analytics Program in Field of the 

Future Flagship at BP, the launch is an 

auspicious occasion. “This is the first 

time the technical section has been 

introduced widely to SPE members,” 

he said. 

It could be an opportunity to become 

involved in an important wave of the 

future—PD 2 A—whose mission is “To 

foster the application of data-driven 

modeling, data mining, and predictive 

analytics research, development, and 

practices in upstream oil and gas, 

resulting in improved decision-making 

in our industry.” 

In addition, one could join in 

furthering PD 2 A’s purpose. “The 

purpose of this section shall be 

Residue-free fluid 

provides better 

fracturing results 

than guar-based 

fluid systems. 

PermStim SM 

Service 

This new fracturing fluid system from Halliburton simply 

out-performs guar-based systems. PermStim SM 

fracturing 

service provides improved well clean-up, enhanced proppant 

pack permeability, controllable viscosity and excellent proppant 

transport. Applicable across a wide temperature range, 

PermStim fluid is residue-free, and cleaner is always better.

to facilitate the development 

and implementation of this 

emerging technology by ensuring 

it is appropriately represented 

across all technical disciplines in 

the society’s activities, including 

Advanced Technology Workshops, 

Forum Series events, Distinguished 

Lecturer program, and conference 

technical sessions. Key objectives 

also include liaising with others in 

the oil field and promoting activities 

in SPE publications. The section will 

support initiatives to communicate 

the technology, standardize its 

nomenclature, and help define its 

value proposition. In addition, the 

section will identify lessons learned 

and best practices associated with the 

accelerated uptake of ‘Data to Action’ 

and, if appropriate, facilitate the 

development of standards.”

Facilities Presentations Take Hard Look at Water Management 

Gentry Braswell, JPT Online Technology Editor 

Design optimization, extending the 

lifetime of existing facilities, and 

project development economics are 

just a few of the topics that will be 

discussed this afternoon in a technical 

session on Enhancement of Facilities 

Technology. The presentations, which 

begin at 1400 in Room 205, will 

feature several operators’ experiences 

regarding water handling equipment, 

gas development, decommissioning 

and abandonment, subsea 

processing, enhanced mature field 

recovery, artificial neural networks, 

solids control, and natural gas 

network performance. 

Among the six technical papers that 

are being presented during the session 

is one comparing produced water 

treating systems in the North Sea and 

deepwater Gulf of Mexico. 

“The oil and gas industry produces 

about four times more water than it 

does oil,” said John Walsh of Shell, 

the lead author of the paper and 

SPE’s technical director for Projects, 

Facilities, and Construction. “Good 

water management requires water 

treating expertise and understanding 

of technical issues related to separation 

of oil and water. 

“Offshore facilities are designed 

with a number of economic and 

environmental constraints. The 

paper focuses on the technical issues 

related to design of offshore facilities, 

in particular looking at the existing 

design of water treating systems in two 

parts of the world, to see what can be 

learned about water treating design 

strategies in general,” he said 

If done properly, facilities design 

ensures that environmental compliance 

is met, which helps ensure “the license 

to operate,” Walsh added. 

“Water treating in general is 

becoming an enabler technology 

for the oil and gas industry due to 

scarcity of availability in some parts 

of the world. As the industry matures, 

greater use is made of improved 

and enhanced recovery methods, 

which can involve the injection of 

large amounts of water,” Walsh said. 

“This injection water must be treated 

to certain standards in order to 

achieve higher ultimate recovery of 

hydrocarbons and to achieve injection 

volumes without impairment of 

the reservoir. All of these activities 

require a strong understanding and 

competent application of water 

treating fundaments.” 

Generally, technical development 

provides the opportunity to enhance 

current performance of drilling 

facilities, and there are numerous 

arguments for enhancement, said 

Statoil’s Bodil Aase, lead author of 

“Critically Testing of Drilling Fluid 

Solids Control Equipment,” another 

of the papers to be discussed during 

the session. 

“The most obvious is the economical 

arguments of more efficient 

operations, which implies less time 

spent and even higher success rate. 

Enhancement of facilities also provides 

improved safety in technical and 

operational procedures, as safety has 

an even higher focus today,” Aase said. 

“The economical and environmental 

“Water treating in general is becoming an 

enabler technology for the oil and gas industry … .” 

impact of decommissioning of old 

drilling facilities and building new 

facilities should be evaluated against 

implementing new technology on older 

facilities to improve performance and 

extend the lifetime of the facility.” 

The paper examines the performance 

of five different shale shakers, assessed 

as part of an ongoing rig modification 

project in the North Sea, Aase said. 

The shale shakers play a decisive role 

in maintaining the desired properties 

of the drilling fluid, which is vital 

to drilling performance and well 

control. Selection of the most suitable 

shale shakers and good operational 

—John Walsh, Shell 

procedures are both important to 

ensure good drilling fluid quality 

and to minimize unnecessary waste 

production, Aase said. 

Another of the papers to be 

discussed concerns the use of artificial 

neural networks in predicting the 

corrosion rate in gas pipelines. 

Technology improperly applied could 

compromise field integrity from a 

corrosion mitigation standpoint, said 

lead author Deden Supriyatman. The 

use of artificial neural networks to 

predict corrosion rate in gas pipelines 

could help, he said. “Deep offshore and 

high-pressure/high-temperature wells 

development will widen our horizons 

in term of new technologies such as 

chemical injection, well treatment, well 

intervention, and well stimulation.” 

Regarding corrosion, there is interest 

in subsea or deep offshore for cathodic 

protection for carbon steel, and this 

presents implications for materials 

selections. Material degradation 

properties and guidelines must be 

considered, which has bearing on 

the manufacturing methods of the 

materials, Supriyatman said. 

“Possibilities in the new technologies 

are needed to be completely exercised 

in various environments,” Supriyatman 

said. “For produced water treating 

system, I am more concerned 

about the government or authority 

regulations being presently applied 

and which are continuously tougher 

and tougher.”

SPE TODAY 

Session Connects Reserves Evaluation With Risk Assessment 

Gentry Braswell, JPT Online Technology Editor 

The complexities of reserves 

evaluation and managing risk will 

top the agenda in a technical session 

this afternoon. The session “Innovative 

Best Practices in Field Management, 

Reserves Evaluation, and Application 

of Risk and Uncertainty” will take place 

at 1400 today in Room 214B, lead by 

Marise Mikulis of Baker Hughes and 

David Yaw of EnCana Oil and Gas. 

“Reserves evaluation is key because, 

as we all know, there is a huge problem 

with public perception that we are 

overstraining reserves,” Yaw said. “And 

so using proper uncertainty analysis 

techniques and proper risking helps 

to mitigate some of those issues. As 

things become a range of probabilities 

rather than a value, applied risk and 

uncertainty quantification is important.” 

Most of the technical papers that 

will be covered during the session deal 

with portfolio optimization, Yaw said. 

“The papers are primarily talking about 

best practices for uncertainly and risk 

management so that proper portfolio 

optimization can be applied,” he 

added. “Without that, it’s useless.” 

John Lee, a reserves evaluation 

expert and professor and holder 

of the Hugh Roy and Lillie Cranz 

Cullen Distinguished University Chair 

at the University of Houston, will 

discuss “New Guidelines Document 

Assists with PRMS Applications.” The 

Petroleum Resources Management 

System (PRMS) provides definitions 

for reserves and resources developed 

and endorsed by SPE, the World 

Petroleum Council, the American 

Association of Petroleum Geologists, 

the Society of Petroleum Evaluation 

Engineers, and the Society of 

Exploration Geophysicists. 

Another paper focuses on 

quantifying proved undeveloped 

reserves in the Woodford shale. 

Its lead author, Madhav Kulkarni of 

Marathon Oil, said reserve analysis 

for unconventional developments 

is challenging because of the long 

duration of transient flow and limited 

long-term production. 

Industry estimates are based on 

limited performance data and are 

complicated by completion differences 

and producing strategies employed 

by different operators, Kulkarni said. 

“However, the resource estimation 

for unconventional developments 

is very important to the industry 

in that it defines the quality of the 

potential development with respect 

to return on investment,” he said. 

“Reliable reserves estimates are 

fundamental to providing investor

confidence and ensuring continued 

availability of funding to sustain 

development in capital-intensive 

unconventional developments.” 

Unconventional resource plays 

are well suited to the application of 

statistical approaches, Kulkarni said. 

In turn, statistical representations 

of uncertainty can provide a more 

consistent understanding of the 

uncertainty attached to a specific 

reserve volume, and, compared 

with conventional developments, 

capitalizing on this statistical 

repeatability leads to higher initial 

reserve bookings for a large program of 

development wells, Kulkarni said. 

“Clear understanding of the 

statistical nature of resource plays is 

required for any company involved in 

these developments. Furthermore, 

the reduction in risk achieved by 

participating in many wells, albeit 

with potentially lower interests, 

further underscores the benefits 

of favorable overall results due to 

‘statistics at work,’” Kulkarni said. 

“Once enough wells have been drilled 

in the development to determine 

its statistical repeatability, the 

development tends to proceed at a 

quicker pace.” 

Also among the technical papers 

being discussed during the session is 

Portfolio Optimization in High and Low 

Risk Environments. The oil industry is 

being forced to develop increasingly 

riskier new assets, and long gone 

is the era of the big megafield with 

shallow wells, primary-only depletion, 

and onshore development, said Luis 

Rodriguez, the paper’s lead author. 

“Reserves evaluation is a key issue 

because that is basically what we do as 

an industry. We sell reserves. A good 

analogy would be to say that reserves 

are to the oil industry what inventories 

are to the retail sales industry,” 

Rodriguez said. “If you don’t know 

what you have, you cannot make longterm 

commitments and, therefore, 

contracts to sell that product. There 

are also a number of technical reasons 

why you should evaluate reserves, but 

anyone in the business will consider 

those self-evident.” 

Risk quantification allows for 

targeting and management of your 

assets in a way that can maximize 

return while minimizing risk, 

Rodriguez said. 

“If you don’t do your homework, you 

could end up targeting riskier assets 

that will yield the same production 

than a less-risky reservoir,” Rodriguez 

said. “Even worse, you could end up 

producing less, when you could have 

produced a lot more with a different 

combination of rig activity among your 

reservoirs, all for the same price. Again, 

if you want to succeed in the new 

environment, you must understand risk 

and uncertainty.” 

Much of the reserves that are left 

underground are there because of 

poor asset management, Rodriguez 

said. For example, new oil discoveries 

yielding a lower recovery factor 

because they were not flooded since 

Day 1 and reservoirs that are not 

drilled to optimum drainage areas, 

he said.

SPE TODAY 

Around the Exhibit Floor 

A roundup of technology being showcased at this year’s ATCE 

New Schlumberger Scanner 

Offers Continuous Logs Onsite 

The Schlumberger Litho Scanner is the 

latest member of the scanner family of 

wireline tools providing formation and 

reservoir data at the wellsite. 

With its accurate mineralogical 

description and total organic 

carbon (TOC) determination, 

the measurement is perfect for 

evaluation of unconventional 

reservoirs. Its standalone 

quantitative determination of TOC 

is independent of the environment 

and the reservoir. Replacing 

indeterminate TOC estimations 

caused by variations in methodologies 

and attempts to combine log and 

laboratory information, the new 

measurement provides a continuous 

log at the wellsite of elemental 

concentration as well as accurate 

mineralogical determination. 

Using sCore lithofacies classification, 

operators can determine optimal 

completion intervals from a 

combination of mineralogy, TOC 

concentration, and in-situ stress values. 

Booth 1735. 

Pheno Seal, Super-Sweep 

Provide Wellbore Remedies 

Forta Corporation’s Pheno Seal is a 

lost-circulation material that is made 

from waste-stream high-density 

laminate. The seal flakes provide an 

efficient shape and a hard, durable 

backbone that functions as a bridging 

agent to control fracture losses. It can 

be used in all water, oil, and syntheticbased 

fluids. 

Forta’s Super-Sweep fiber is a 

hole-cleaning agent for suspending 

and transporting solids from the 

wellbore. The fiber is an alternative 

to conventional gels and polymers for 

cleaning the cuttings or millings from 

a wellbore when drilling or milling. A 

small concentration of fiber added to 

any drilling fluid will suspend, lift, and 

collect wellbore debris. Booth 442. 

Diffusion Bonding Strengthens 

Mesh and Creates Laminates 

G Bopp sintered (diffusion-bonded) 

wire mesh sintering combines multiple 

layers to provide structural strength 

to an otherwise flimsy fine mesh 

or to create laminates with specific 

physical properties. 

Sintering takes place in a controlledatmosphere 

furnace with some 

degree of isostatic pressure and 

bonds all wire crossover points within 

a single layer. Sintered wire cloths 

produced this way yield fine filtration 

results and are also resistant to 

physical loading, thanks to the robust 

mesh structure. 

Bopp can sinter any combination 

of mesh together to achieve physical 

properties such as mechanical 

strength, controlled permeability, 

porosity, thickness, absolute aperture 

size, filter fineness, flow rate, and 

backwash properties. Booth 1334. 

Weatherford Uses RFID 

To Actuate Downhole Tools 

Radio frequency identification (RFID) 

technology has been used successfully

the exhibition. Photo courtesy of 

Weatherford. 

for many years. Weatherford was 

an early pioneer of this technology 

in common oilfield applications to 

actuate downhole tools electronically. 

With the recent acquisition of 

Petrowell, the company has expanded 

its portfolio of RFID capabilities 

and has broad intellectual property 

for the downhole application of 

this technology. 

RFID technology is used to activate 

downhole tools, track assets, and 

enhance completions operations. The 

technology helps improve reservoir 

management by optimizing well design 

and performance. Additionally, RFID 

allows multiple tools to be run in the 

drillstring and activated or deactivated 

on demand, providing opportunities 

to improve borehole integrity to 

planned depth. 

Weatherford is displaying several 

of its RFID-enabled technologies, 

including the RipTide RFID reamer, 

which has been applied in various 

operations worldwide. Booth 1951. 

XML-Based Standards Simplify 

Upstream Data Management 

The Energistics Consortium’s PRODML, 

WITSML, and RESQML provide 

standard XML-based data exchange 

standards for upstream operations. 

Production Markup Language 

(PRODML) is the consortium’s initiative 

for open, nonproprietary, standard 

interfaces between software tools 

used to monitor, manage, and optimize 

hydrocarbon production in the modern 

digital oilfield. 

PRODML enables near-real-time 

production optimization. It focuses 

on the data from the reservoirwellbore 

boundary to the custody 

transfer point and integration with the 

consortium’s other domain standards 

such as Wellsite Information Transfer 

Standard Markup Language (WITSML) 

and the Reservoir Characterization 

Markup Language (RESQML). 

Booth 1421. 

Ingrain Creates Digital Rock 

for High-Tech Sample Analysis 

Oil and gas exploration is becoming 

increasingly dependent on rocks 

such as complex carbonates and 

shale. To better understand the inner 

workings of these rocks, however, new 

technologies are needed. Houstonbased 

Ingrain can accurately determine 

the static and dynamic rock physics 

properties from reservoir rocks. 

Ingrain can also provide information 

from drill cuttings from wells not 

cored, making full use of all available 

data and allowing for nanometerscale 

observations and better 

reservoir characterization. 

Using the latest X-ray computed 

tomography technology, highresolution 

3D pore space can be 

imaged in reservoir rocks at a 

multitude of scales. From these 

digital rocks, static and dynamic rock 

properties can be computed. As these 

tests are not destructive, all of the 

computations can be repeated on the 

same rock sample. Booth 1353. 

Swell Meter, Rheometers Face 

High Pressures, Temperatures 

Grace Instrument’s M4600 highpressure/high-temperature 

(HP/HT) 

linear swell meter is an automated 

dual-core meter that measures 

volumetric expansion (or contraction) 

of a core/wafer sample under 

simulated downhole conditions. As it 

does this, it saturates the sample with 

a drilling fluid. 

The meter’s design allows core 

samples to expand in only one 

direction, allowing repeatable test 

results. Quick sample loading and 

hardware setup optimize the process. A 

dual core/wafer compactor is available 

so that drill cuttings or other solids can 

be compressed into a self-adhering 

core/wafer and tested. 

Grace’s M5600 HP/HT rheometer 

is a true-Couette, coaxial-cylinder, 

rotational, HP/HT rheometer. It is also 

available with an optional viscoelastic 

module for performing viscoelasticity 

tests to derive elastic (G′), viscous 

(G″), and complex (G*) moduli and 

phase angle. 

The meter’s design provides direct 

readings inside the pressure vessel 

without bob shaft bearings for lower 

maintenance costs and continuous 

testing of corrosive samples. The 

rheometer incorporates a direct 

drive between the bob shaft and the 

torque transducer, which eliminates 

momentum-of-inertia errors 

associated with magnetically coupled 

torque transducers. This allows the 

torque transducer to respond quickly 

and consistently to changing bob 

shaft torque. 

The company’s M7500 Ultra 

HP/HT rheometer is a coaxial 

cylinder, rotational, HP/HT rheometer 

engineered to measure various 

properties of fluids (including American 

Petroleum Institute HP/HT tests) to 

30,000 psi and 600°F. 

The meter has a thick-walled steel 

pressure cell surrounded by a fail-safe 

steel containment vessel to ensure 

operator safety. It is designed for easy 

test setup, sample loading, and posttest 

cleaning. Booth 2021. 

Reservoir Data Modeling 

Suite Enlightens Drillers 

Paradigm’s advanced SKUA, Geolog, 

and Sysdrill applications together offer 

geophysicists, geologists, and drilling 

engineers increased efficiency, reduced 

drilling uncertainty and risk, and 

faster decision-making on the basis of 

accurate and realistic models. 

Geolog 7 is the next-generation 

version of the Geolog Formation 

Evaluation suite. Geolog is 

customizable to specific user 

requirements; the modular design 

provides a flexible software 

environment that can be scaled from 

a single user on a laptop to a team 

collaborating over the network. Version 

7 combines the system’s technological 

superiority with a modern, userfriendly 

interface that is consistent 

across multiple platforms and provides 

enhanced efficiency and usability. 

Geolog Geosteer enables the 

geosteering expert to merge data 

from existing wells and interpreted 

surfaces to build 3D log property 

models, which are used to forwardmodel 

anticipated logging-whiledrilling 

log responses along planned 

high-angle or horizontal wellbore 

paths. Correlation of the predicted logs 

with actual logs acquired during drilling 

allows the user to accurately determine 

the stratigraphic position of the well.

High-Speed Reaming Systems 

Fine Tune Completions 

Deep Casing Tools’ Shalerunner is 

a high-speed reaming system that 

enables landing completions at correct 

depth faster and less expensively. It 

gives the completion team rotation 

at the shoe without rotating the 

completion, the company said. 

Shalerunner’s design combines highspeed 

rotational reaming with low 

operation pressure and low flow rates. 

The system connects directly to the 

completion assembly and can be used 

to ream open the hole and land the 

completion on depth without any need 

for additional wiper trips. 

The company’s Turbocaser Express 

is the first high-speed, drillable 

motor and reamer system, enabling 

drilling teams to land casings 

and intermediate liners at target 

depth. It provides the driller with a 

circulation-powered reamer system 

to get the casing through difficult hole 

sections. Following normal cementing

Qualmark’s Typhoon Inferno is a highly 

accelerated life test (HALT) system 

configured for testing the durability 

of instruments, tools, and electronics 

that will face harsh environments such 

as those encountered during oil and 

gas exploration. 

The Inferno can accommodate 

extreme temperatures ranging from 

−100 to +250°C, shock and vibration 

of more than 60 G rms , and multiaxis 

vibration with 6° of freedom vibration, 

all in a matter of minutes. Rapidly 

exposing products to such extremes 

reveals design and manufacturing flaws 

that are missed by traditional reliability 

testing methods. Booth 708.

Sigma 3 Adds Companies 

To Boost Data Services 

Symphony Technology Group’s 

Sigma 3 Integrated Reservoir Solutions 

recently acquired Colorado-based 

APEX Petroleum Engineering, APEX 

HiPoint, and HiPoint Reservoir Imaging. 

The moves are part of its strategy 

to improve reservoir understanding, 

optimize production, define risk, and 

enhance return on investments 

for its clients. 

APEX Petroleum Engineering 

provides consultation for hydraulic 

fracturing engineering such as 

onsite treatment supervision and 

quality control, drilling, operations, 

and well completions engineering. 

APEX HiPoint provides real-time 

microseismic fracture mapping, 

wellbore seismic imaging, and reservoir 

characterization technologies and 

services. HiPoint Reservoir Imaging 

provides microseismic and borehole 

seismic data-processing analysis 

and interpretation. 

The new affiliates are recognized 

leaders in their respective fields, 

and the combination of their assets

Booth 1863. 

3D Programs Address 

Development Uncertainties 

ION’s ResSCAN 3D programs 

encompass multiple industry 

disciplines to address two key 

uncertainties in unconventional 

reservoirs: characterizing reservoir 

quality and well completion for 

optimal production. The programs 

are developed and managed by ION’s 

GeoVentures group and are imaged 

by ION’s GX Technology group using 

advanced data processing techniques. 

Relying on upfront geological, 

petrophysical, and rock physics 

analysis, ResSCAN programs establish 

what seismic attributes, from 3D single 

or multicomponent seismic data, 

provide the most predictive expression 

of key reservoir properties for a 

given shale play and, most important, 

affect an operator’s drilling and well 

completion engineering decisions 

and parameters. 

Five 3D programs encompassing 

more than 900 square miles are 

currently in various stages of the 

ResSCAN workflow. All of these 

programs incorporate multicomponent 

acquisition, employ GX Technology’s 

data processing technologies and 

techniques, and rely on quantitative 

interpretation to derive highly 

optimized seismic attributes. These 

customized attributes are obtained 

from careful data processing followed 

typically by seismic inversion and 

shear-wave splitting analysis. 

With this approach, a high resolution 

estimate of formation density and 

natural fracture intensity can be 

determined, which generally cannot 

be accurately estimated with P-wave 

(single component) data alone.
