SPE Egypt - Distinguished Lecturer Program, 19th March, 2014 Each year, SPE selects a group of around 30 individuals who are experts in their field and capable speakers to share their expertise with SPE members through visits to local sections. The individuals are nominated by their peers, and selection by the Distinguished Lecturer Committee is a recognition of their expertise. Main Speaker, Faisal Al-Thawad Saudi Aramco 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. Presentation Topic, 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?” Venue, Agiba Petroleum Company, 1 El Barameka street Nasr City, Cairo, Egypt Date, Wednesday, March 19, 2014 – 06:00 PM
