Identifying Productive Zones & Determining The Most Appropriate Stimulation Techniques

Tight Oil Reservoirs California 2014

June 25-26 | Bakersfield | California

We are delighted to present the speaker faculty and brand new agenda for this year's Tight Oil Reservoirs California 2014 ; the only congress focused on taking new steps in driving the Monterey and the wider San Joaquin, Santa Maria and LA Basins, to enable commercial production in California's unconventional reservoirs.

There is no question that there are large reserves yet to be tapped within the Monterey and surrounding sediments, but how can we expedite commercial unconventional crude exploitation via the advancements of technologies for hydraulic fracturing, acid fracturing and steam injection ?

Rising completions costs combined with California's complex and heterogeneous reservoirs mean proper zonal identification and production from within these wells has become increasingly important to ensure their commercial exploitation.

The 3rd Annual Tight Oil Reservoirs California 2014 Congress will be returning to Bakersfield on June 25-26, with a brand new, entirely unconventional focused agenda assessing the very latest subsurface data and production updates in regards to shale and diatomite production in the state.

All presentations have been designed with the end goals of recovery optimization and cost reduction in mind, and cover the following key topics:

PURE UNCONVENTIONAL CALIFORNIA FOCUS : Tight Oil Reservoirs California 2014 is the only congress available focusing purely on unconventional oil and gas recovery in California. This is not a US-wide congress nor is it a congress that covers all types of oil and gas in California, in which shale is a small part. It is purely unconventional and it is purely California. It has been designed this way to provide two whole days of focused, uninterrupted presentations and insights to operators looking to capitalize on California's unconventional resources

SHALE & DIATOMITE BREAK DOWN : This dual focus has been chosen due the increasing attention being placed on diatomite production, the ever-closer commercialization of shale resources and the layered and interrelated geology of both types of formation. This congress is for operators working on shale, diatomite or both

RECOVERY-FOCUSED PRESENTATIONS : The commercial opportunity obviously lies in the recovery of the oil, which is why the entire agenda for this congress has been designed around optimizing. All key drivers behind cost-effective recovery are being addressed, from petrophysical data to fracture modeling to zone targeting, stimulation techniques and permit approvals. Each session has been designed to deliver tangible insights into how to optimize recovery

COST REDUCTION THEME : California is still sitting on a huge amount of oil that's yet to be tapped. Operators don't have the time or money to eternally test out individual strategies, so this congress is optimizing data and insights gleaned so far by bringing the latest results from other operators to find out what has worked best so delegates can enhance and understand how to fully exploit these reserves
