Annual Report 2011: FY July 1, 2010-June 30, 2011
Reservoir Development
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.
