Reservoir Development

The mission of the AAPG Reservoir Development Committee is to promote and support the importance of cost-effective and integrated development of oil and gas reservoirs and fields. The committee works with the Research Committee, Education Committee, Publications Committee, and with other professional societies such as SPE, SPWLA, SEG and EAGE to provide AAPG members involved with or interested in reservoir characterization and field development with resources to enhance their technical and business skills. The committee strives to identify new technologies and concepts important in field development and to sponsor conferences as well as technical sessions at the annual meetings. The committee also encourages and supports publications on these topics.

The committee is working with the GIS Committee on a “Digital Atlas of Outcrop Analogs.” The purpose of the Atlas is to compile documented outcrop studies in a digital format for geoscientists to use as reservoir analogues and other applications. The key papers from a Hedberg Conference titled “Sandstone Deposition in Lacustrine Environments” are being prepared for publication. The committee is also working with the GIS committee to develop a geologic atlas of the best reservoir-analogue outcrops worldwide. The committee is actively seeking additional projects for next year. These possibly include (1) promoting publications on microbial carbonates and geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide, (2) sponsoring an Archie Conference on the petrophysics of shale gas or new aspects of reservoir geologic analysis, and (3) co-sponsoring a Geoscience Technical Workshop on determining in-place reserves in fractured reservoirs.
