The 20th Formation Evaluation Symposium of Japan will be held at
Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation - Technology & Research
Center (JOGMEC-TRC), Chiba on October 1 - 2, 2014. All persons involved in oil,
gas, geothermal, geo-engineering industry and scientific drillings are invited
to submit abstracts of papers for presenting at the symposium. The symposium will cover area of General
Formation Evaluation, Reservoir Characterization that includes Fracture Delineation,
Well Test / Production Logging, Methane Hydrates, Geothermal, Scientific
Drilling CO2 Geological Storage and New Tool / New Technology.
A special session “Unconventional”
will be featured this year. What is “unconventional” ? SPWLA Unconventional
Resources SIG Charter says “Unconventional resources are essentially defined by
what they are not the reservoirs that dominated hydrocarbon production for most
of the 20th Century.” In case of Shale Gas, new extraction
technology has enabled economical production, and formation evaluation has been
catching up for further optimization. For Hydrates, Japan has been leading
research towards commercial production.
There are lot more stories around resources and technologies which were
not common in the last Century, and this is the invitation to share such
stories.
JFES encourages students to participate and present. Best Student
Awards will be presented to outstanding papers.
