Texas (SWS)

Just because that field is mature doesn’t mean it’s out of gas/oil! A case in point is the Los Angeles Basin, a prolific producer in its day, and now in need of new technologies and geological evaluation to determine just how to recover the oil that had been left behind.

If you’ve signed up for an E-Symposium or Open Courseware, you may have noticed that the Guiding Questions activity is designed to stimulate the production of free association and thoughts / ideas that flow from free association.

Share your views and opinions on what you consider to be the most important factors when hydraulically fracturing gas shales. How important is it to have an understanding of the geology?

This e-symposium will focus on hydraulic fracture geometry in shales, the materials used in the fracturing process, and treatment monitoring via microseismic.

DATE: July 22, 2010 – Online Webinar – 2:00 p.m., CDT, 1 hour duration. INSTRUCTOR: Daniel Moos, Geomechanics International, Menlo Park, CA

If you’re interested in considering co-producing geothermal fluids from a producing, marginal, or depleted oil and gas well, there may be support for you.
