AAPG Home : Meetings : 2008 ACE-San Antonio : Short Courses : Course #1
This course is designed to show geoscientists and managers of teams that finding and exploiting by-passed pay requires skills in addition to well-log analysis. Many conventional oil and gas fields have at least one “dry” hole drilled within them before they are finally “discovered.” Unconventional plays can have dozens or even hundreds of penetrations before the play is recognized and exploited. Pays and plays are missed for a spectrum of reasons. While some pays and plays are by-passed because of incorrect log analysis, others are missed because of misinterpreted DST results, incorrect stratigraphic models, misinterpreted seismic attributes, out-of-date completion methods, or institutional bias – to name a few reasons. This class will present case studies of by-passed pays and plays to illustrate lessons learned from missed opportunities.
Note: Participants should bring a few colored pencils, a calculator and a ruler.
