Distinguished Lecturer - Dinner Meeting SPECIAL LOCATION AT BYU Reservoir Characterization by Production Data The Salt Lake Section of the Society of Petroleum Engineers will host a meeting at 4 PM Thursday, January 22, 2015 in room CB 254 of the Clyde Engineering Building at Brigham Young University in Provo, UT. Afterwards, we will host a dinner in the Wilkinsons Center, also at BYU. A map is provided at the end of this meeting announcement. Dr. Larry Lake, professor in the Department of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin, is the Distinguished Lecturer. Participants should plan on arriving at 3:50 PM; the presentation starts at 4 PM. The cost for dinner is $25.00 for members and guests, and $15 for SPE student members. There is no fee if you are not attending the dinner. Please RSVP to Landon Paskett, email: [email protected] for either or both event by January 15, 2015 Please try to adhere to the deadline for reservations in order to keep costs down.

Abstract: The history of reservoir characterization has been based on and currently rests on static data. Indeed, entire technologies, academic majors, and even commercial enterprises have sprung up to gather, interpret, and use core data, logs, geology and seismic data. The saturations, porosities, permeabilities, relative permeabilitiies, to name a few, from these technologies form the basis of volumetric calculations (original hydrocarbon in place), and recovery estimates (recoverable hydrocarbon). Ironically, it is dynamic data or data from flowing wells that are of commercial interest because revenue streams are directly proportional to it. But, aside from use in pressure transient analysis and as targets in simulation history matching, these data are little used in characterization. This situation is about to change. The large-scale use of near-continuous (realtime) surface and downhole measurements of rates (all fluids), pressures, and temperatures will augment and in some cases supplant reliance on static measurements. Such measurements are common now on new production facilities. Indications are that they are cost-effective on existing or legacy production. But these measurements will only be useful if there are means to interpret them. The objective of this presentation is to discuss the capacitance-resistance model that will use the coming "tsunami" of data to characterize reservoirs.
