SPE - SEG JOINT WORKSHOP-Thailand

"GEOPRESSURE ASSESSMENT AND ITS IMPACT ON WELLBORE CONSTRUCTION" 20 - 23 February 2012 · Phuket, Thailand REGISTER NOW TO ENJOY EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT! This joint event, organized by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG), will focus on a broad range of topics related to pore pressure analysis and its impact on wellbore stability. The technical program will cover new techniques and technologies for pore pressure analysis and detection, advances in understanding overpressure generation mechanisms and distribution, with added emphasis on pore pressure prediction in HPHT environments, carbonates-dominated basins, and overpressure problems in deepwater settings.  This workshop will also cover the whole life cycle of pore pressure prediction, leading into assessment of wellbore stability from pre-drill modelling and well planning, through prediction while drilling and real-time mitigation, to post drill analysis. The objective of this joint workshop is to improve communication between the engineering and geoscience communities during wellbore construction, pore-pressure prediction, and detection process.  The workshop is designed for experts, engineers and geoscientists from oil companies, service companies and academia who are interested in developing a cross-disciplinary perspective on pore pressure and wellbore stability issues in geopressured basins.  Please visit the Joint Workshop website for further information.
