    With the increasing global demand for clean hydrocarbons, the E&P companies are in search of unconventional resources such as shale gas and oil. They have very specific characteristics, such as complex mineralogy, lateral and vertical heterogeneity as well as anisotropy. These characteristics require detailed characterization and exploitation technologies.

    The class provides attendees with focused instruction on the geological, geophysical and petrophysical attributes of shale reservoirs, including the origin and accumulation of natural gas and liquids. Participants will be exposed to the methods and workflows for identifying and characterizing shale reservoirs. They will build on this foundation to learn about the engineering aspects of shale hydrocarbons exploitation. Participants will gain an understanding of methods and workflows for developing shale hydrocarbons resources including horizontal well architecture & placement, completions, hydraulic fracturing and production.
