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

    This course provides participants with focused instruction on the engineering aspects of shale hydrocarbons exploitation. Participants will be exposed to the methods and workflows for characterizing, and developing shale hydrocarbons resources including well architecture & placement, completions, hydraulic fracturing and producing. They will gain a foundational understanding of the complete asset life cycle: exploring, appraising, developing and producing. They will also review field examples as the basis for discussion and in-class exercises on economic viability of assets.

    Key Learning Elements

    • A foundational understanding of the exploitation of shale gas and liquids reservoirs, in preparation for further learning or practice in their domain of expertise.
    • Skills necessary to evaluate well performance in shale gas and liquids fields, forecast field production and recovery, and assess optimum well architecture, placement and designs
    • A working knowledge of the techniques used to estimate reserves of unconventional reservoirs as well as industry-accepted practices for reserves definition.

    This course is designed to expose the multi-disciplinary asset team of operating companies comprising of engineers, geoscientists, financial decision makers, and managers to shale hydrocarbons resource.
