Did Someone Say “Shale”?
Abstract
The buzz continues in China with regard to “shale” leading up to the next shale block bid round. Before that gets underway, let’s talk about “shale” to set a tone and mind set for successful investigation. This talk will start with answering a the question, “Do I have a Shale Play”, move to talking about stimulation oriented petrophysics and finally end with an overview of considerations and challenges as we endeavor to develop this resource compliment to China’s energy mix.
Joe Dumesnil is the Team Leader, Petrophysicist and Geologist for Halliburton’s China Unconventional Tech Team. His daily focus is on reservoir characterization as it relates to stimulation and unconventional well operations. He serves as a the Team Leader and is a resource with regard to decision making geology and petrophysics helping customers optimize their efforts in exploration, stimulation code cracking and exploitation of unconventional assets. Mr. Dumesnil works primarily in multi-disciplinary environments both internally and with Halliburton’s customers, large and small and has worked unconventional plays internationally on every continent. His career with Halliburton has involved long term assignments in human capital acquisition and business process optimization aside from his technical proficiency with Shales, Coals and Tight Sands. Mr. Dumesnil holds a bachelor’s degree in Geology from Denison University and his 2 master’s degrees from Colorado School of Mines and the Institut Francais du Petrol (IFP School) in Petroleum Economics and Business Management.
