Flyer for the 2013 SPWLA Topical Conference in Abu Dhabi

1. SPWLA Abu Dhabi Topical Conference
Jumeirah at Etihad Towers, Abu Dhabi
3rd - 6th March 2013
Working with Uncertainty
Integrating Petrophysical Uncertainty into Subsurface Models
In this SPWLA 10th Annual Topical conference we will examine the sources of uncertainty in the
development of the static model and the initialisation of dynamic models. Along the way we will ask
questions about how to quantify and subsequently reduce uncertainties progressively during the Major
Project Maturation Process and examine how these uncertainties impact on Net Present Value and
reservoir management.
The Technical Committee is seeking abstracts on:
• Measurement traceability and the science of
metrology: What are the “ground truths”?
• Calibration, precision and repeatability in laboratory
and log measurements of rock and fluid properties
• How reliable are Direct Indicators of Hydrocarbon
• What are the Uncertainties in locating hydrocarbon
contacts?
• Uncertainty in porosity, permeability, relative
permeability and water saturation
• Uncertainty rising from framework and property
upscaling
• Propagation of uncertainty between wells
• Optimal well placement for achieving production/
injection targets
• Dynamic model parameter assignment and
initializations
Jumeirah at Etihad Towers
• Making sense of surveillance data
In addition to the above, there will be Panel Sessions to discuss the issues related to Petrophysical
Uncertainty. The final Session Topics selected will vary with the submissions received.
Who Will Be There: Petrophysicists, Reservoir Engineers and other Geoscientists working
on core analysis, log analysis, production logging, reservoir characterization, reservoir modeling,
integration of disciplines
Discussion Groups: Small breakout groups will further discuss the topics presented in the
morning and then report back in a plenary session
Speaker Solicitation: SPWLA Topical Conferences are informal, off-the-record discussions
focused on a specific area. No papers or abstracts are published. We seek presentations from
people who wish to speak. We welcome diversity of expertise to foster a genuine learning event.
Commercialism: is NOT encouraged in speaker presentations in line with the SPWLA mission
and conference objectives. Company logos shall be limited to the title slide to indicate affiliations of
presenter and others involved in the work.
