Technical Lecture on "Petrophysical Analysis to Evaluate Shale Gas"

The Department of Geology, University of Karachi and Pakistan Association of Petroleum Geoscientists (PAPG), UoK Chapter is arranging a lecture on “Petrophysical Analysis to Evaluate Shale Gas” By Mr. Syed Aftab Alam Scientist II, Center of Petroleum & Minerals, Research Institute,

King Fahad University of Petroleum and Minerals, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, 2^nd  November 2013, at Auditorium, Department of Geology, University of Karachi, at 11.00am followed by Hi-Tea. Kindly participate to increase our understanding of unconventional resources and  promote the scientific culture in the country.

  Abstract

Discovery of unconventional sources of hydrocarbon exploration has brought a revolutionary change in the domestic energy sector. The US, Russia and other European countries and to some extent; China is on the fast track to fulfill their energy demand by this method. In the Middle East; Qatar, Iran and Saudi Arabia are also discovering the unconventional reservoirs.

Evaluation of Shale Formation is a complex phenomenon and has involved multiple disciplinary expertise. In this presentation an overview of all the steps has been presented. For a better explanation, resource pyramids and flow charts have been used to make the concept more clear.

Using core data and its petrophysical analysis to evaluate the shale formation is the main topic of this presentation. Nano size porosity, micro fractures and the lay minerals present in the shale is a big challenge for the industry. Still there is considerable difference in the results of different service providers, but latest techniques and tools have been developed to overcome this difficulty.

Necessary parameters of geological/engineering aspects of the petrophysical properties have been highlighted. Simultaneously, the result, the complexity and authenticity of lab results has been discussed in detail.

This presentation is based on a project carried in Saudi Arabia. Entitled, “ Petrophysical model development for the Quaisaba Shale Formation in Rub-Al-Khali Basin.” 

This presentation will be interesting for senior students of Geology/Petroleum Engineering and for the industry personnel of different disciplines who want to develop a multidisciplinary team to explore this challenging field.

USEFP Global Undergraduate Fellowship Program (UGRAD)

In 2010, the Global Undergraduate Exchange Program - Pakistan (Global UGRAD-Pakistan) was launched by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) of the United States Department of State. The program in Pakistan is administered by the United States Educational Foundation in Pakistan (USEFP) and in the United States by the International Research & Exchanges Board (IREX).

Within a short life-span, the Global UGRAD has gained immense popularity among the Pakistani university going students. With the first batch of 100 fellows of the 2010-11 Global UGRAD-Pakistan returned to Pakistan to complete their undergraduate degrees at Pakistani universities.

The Global UGRAD program is designed to award undergraduate Pakistani students enrolled at a university in Pakistan. The Global UGRAD-Pakistan program offers cultural/academic exchange through a non degree program for a semester at a university in the U.S. Applicants of this program are required to be in either their 13th, 14th or 15th year of formal education. Students enrolled in either, a four year bachelor's program or a two year bachelor's programs are eligible to apply.

Ph.D. Scholarship in Seismology at Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, Dublin, Ireland

Ph.D. Scholarship in Seismology at Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, Dublin, Ireland.

Duration: 4 years

Stipend €17,500 per year, tax free, plus university fees

Location: Dublin, Ireland

Start date: September 1, 2013, or as soon as possible after that.

Consideration of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. For additional information on the project or on the study at DIAS please contact Sergei Lebedev (sergei@cp.dias.ie).

i

The Geophysics Section of the School of Cosmic Physics, Dublin Institute for Advanced Study, invites applications for a seismology Ph.D. position in regional and global seismic tomography. Advanced techniques of seismic imaging (waveform inversion, array tomography) will be applied to large new datasets in order to determine anisotropic seismic structure of the lithosphere and underlying mantle. Possible focus areas and applications include methodology of finite-frequency waveform tomography with very large datasets, global dynamics of the Earth's upper mantle, dynamics of active continental deformation, structure and evolution of Ireland and northern Atlantic, and global propagation of the "W phase" (used in tsunami early warning).

Applicants should have excellent grades, preferably an advanced degree (M.Sc. or similar), background in geophysics, physics or mathematics and strong computing skills. The position will offer opportunities for occasional seismic fieldwork across Ireland (primarily, the maintenance of Ireland Array which would require a valid driving licence and physical fitness.

All applicants are requested to send an e-mail containing a complete CV, a statement of research interests, English proficiency certification if applicable (DIAS requirements are the same as those of UCD: https://myucd.ucd.ie/admission/english_requirement.ezc?pageID=1415), academic transcripts, and the names and contact details of 3 academic referees to Dr. Sergei Lebedev (sergei@cp.dias.ie), with "seismology Ph.D. position" in the subject line.
