SPE’s Northern China International (NCI) Section invites you to an evening with:
Faisal AL Thawad - SPE 2013-2014 Distinguished Lecturer
on
Wednesday Evening, October 30th, 2013
He will be speaking on:
Fracture Networks: Reservoir’s Friends or Foes?
While fractures can enhance the recovery of hydrocarbons from tight formations, the highly permeable conduits that they form can also lead to a premature breakthrough of gas or water.
Accurate simulation requires precise modeling of the existing heterogeneities in the field; hence,
understanding the effects of fracture networks and flow boundaries will lead to better reservoir
management. This lecture addresses the following queries: What do you need to consider in modeling fracture systems? How is it done? Will the power of numerical solutions help improve
our understanding? Is an integrated work flow, ranging from reservoir testing to reservoir simulation a “must?”
Faisal Al-Thawad has been a consultant for pressure transient analysis for Saudi Aramco since 1996. He has extensive experience in exploratory testing operations with a focus on complex well geometries and faults/fractures modeling. He holds a BS and MS in petroleum engineering.
