Fourth EAGE WIPIC Workshop
Overview
We welcome you to the fourth edition of our workshop on well injectivity / productivity and reservoir management in carbonates. This event is a follow-up to the very successful workshop held in November 2019 in Doha, Qatar.
In the light of feedback and success from the previous events, we continue to expand the scope of the workshop to cover the entire reservoir and not just the wells. For an optimal field development, injectivity and productivity of wells is of course essential, especially in heterogeneous reservoirs such as carbonates. However, incorporation of other elements (geological modelling, reservoir simulation, reservoir management, history-matching, uncertainty assessment and enhanced recovery mechanisms) is also crucial as we move towards a multi-disciplinary approach for problem solving.
With representatives from national oil companies, international oil companies, service providers, universities and research institutes, this workshop should appeal to subsurface specialists in well stimulation and completion, log analysis, petrophysics, pressure transient analysis, reservoir geology and geophysics, applied mathematics, data science, geostatistics and reservoir engineering, but also to subsurface generalists and reservoir managers.
Workshop Aim
The workshop continues to provide an exceptional opportunity to share experiences and propose new methods from lab scale to reservoir scale as well as innovative application of hardware and software tools for the topics under discussion. We indeed believe that a multi-disciplinary approach is the next step forward to improve our daily work for a better reservoir management of carbonate reservoirs.
Given the challenges ahead, we invite submissions on multiple research topics across the range of reservoir management. Contributions on specific topics are welcome, as are integrated case studies working across a range of scales and disciplines. All topics should be closely related to the challenges faced when managing carbonate reservoirs.
