Featured Speaker Luncheon — The Unconventional Future: Where Ideas and Technology Converge
| Date: | Monday, 13 September |
| Time: | 11:30–13:00 |
| Location: | South Building, Lower Level, Macleod D |
| Fee: | US$50 + 5% GST |
| Speaker: | Scott W. Tinker, Bureau of Economic Geology |
The convergence of ideas and technology has created an unconventional gas resource base that could supply natural gas to the North American consumer for 50 to 100 years or more.
Although not as far along in terms of resource development, oil from the Bakken shale and the oil sands in Alberta could have a similar magnitude of impact. The oil and gas industry has been
built on ideas and technology developed by some of the best scientists and engineers in the world, and all signs indicate we are not slowing down!
Tinker is Director of the Bureau of Economic Geology, the State Geologist of Texas, Director of the Advanced Energy Consortium, a Professor holding the Allday Endowed Chair and acting Associate Dean of Research in the Jackson School of Geosciences at the University of Texas at Austin. Scott spent 17 years in the oil and gas industry prior to coming to UT in 2000. Scott is past President of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (2008-09) and the Association of American State Geologists (2006-07). Tinker was a Distinguished Lecturer for the AAPG (1997), Society of Petroleum Engineers (2002), and Distinguished Ethics Lecturer for the AAPG (2006-07) and won best paper awards in two major journals. Tinker holds appointments on the National Petroleum Council, the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission and serves on several private, professional, and academic boards. Tinker’s passion is building bridges between academia, industry and government globally, and he has given over 300 invited and keynote lectures and visited over 40 countries towards this end. Tinker’s degrees are from the University of Colorado (Ph.D.), the University of Michigan (M.S.), and Trinity University (B.S.).
Unconventional Day Topical Luncheon — Global Challenges in Shale Reservoir Development: Moving Beyond a Statistical Approach
| Date: | Tuesday, 14 September |
| Time: | 11:30–13:00 |
| Location: | South Building, Lower Level, Macleod D |
| Fee: | US$50 + 5% GST |
| Speaker: | Stephen Fulgham, Schlumberger |
Shale reservoir development in North America has been nothing short of explosive. New technologies and lessons learned in the Barnett Shale encouraged rapid expansion into other shale basins in North America. This high level of activity has not necessarily optimized
developments in the different North American shale basins because each of the shale plays is unique and the “well factory” approach attempts to make one size fit all. While the shale plays
are attracting the most attention, the challenges of other unconventional reservoirs are similar — intense competition and steep learning curves mean success is not guaranteed, especially when the outlook for natural gas prices remains so uncertain and technology is advancing rapidly.
Interest in the potential of shale and other unconventional reservoirs is now expanding outside North America. Many reconnaissance studies are underway with leasing and deal structures around the globe as many players in the industry do not want to miss out on significant reserves. However, shale development overseas will be vastly different from North America. The limited availability of seismic and well data as compared to North America will require a much more structured approach to exploration and delineation. Market drivers, infrastructure and geopolitical issues will also influence the expansion of unconventional plays outside North America. This talk will contrast the statistical approaches to developments in North America with likely scenarios for overseas expansion and the technology that will be required for success.
Steve Fulgham is the President for Schlumberger Oilfield Services, North America Land, a position he assumed in March 2010. Based in Sugar Land, Texas, he is responsible for strategic direction of business operations in the United States and Canada for all Schlumberger Companies.
Prior to this, Steve was the Managing Director of Schlumberger Oilfield Services for Nigeria and Gulf of Guinea Africa operations based in Lagos, Nigeria, a role he assumed in 2006. Earlier positions he has held include VP of Marketing and Sales for North and South America based in Houston; Marketing Manager of Oilfield Services for Malaysia, Brunei, and the Philippines based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; and VP of Operations for Wireline for West and South Africa based in Pointe Noire, Congo.
Steve began his career with Schlumberger in 1983 as a Wireline Field Engineer and has held various field and senior management positions throughout the world including the USA, China, Denmark, England, Oman, Egypt, Congo, Malaysia and Nigeria. Steve is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers, National Ocean Industries Association, Texas Alliance of Energy Producers, and the Petroleum Equipment Suppliers Association. He earned a BS degree in Petroleum Engineering from Texas A&M University.
DPA Luncheon — Evaluation and Classification Issues of Unconventional Resources
| Date: | Wednesday, 15 September |
| Time: | 11:30–13:00 |
| Location: | South Building, Lower Level, Macleod CD |
| Fee: | US $50 + 5% GST |
| Speaker: | David C. Elliott, Alberta Securities Commission |
So you want to go to the market to develop an unconventional resource, do you? Before you go, get some advice that could save you time, money and frustration. Our speaker, David Elliott, professional geologist, is the Chief Petroleum Advisor for the Alberta Securities Commission in Calgary, AB, Canada. One of David’s many roles is to advise and review the Canadian National Instrument Standard, NI 51-101 for the acceptable reporting of both conventional and unconventional resources using the guidelines of the Canadian Oil and Gas Handbook for publically traded company’s reserves and resources reports in the province of Alberta.
