SCPRE02

Shale Gas Critical Fundamentals, Techniques and Tools for Exploration Analysis

Instructor: Basim Faraj
Date: May 5, 2008
Max. Attendance: 25 participants
Course Fee: $575

Venue: IBM Canada – Rocky Mountain Room B, 227 11 Ave. SW, Calgary, T2T 3S7

This one day course will introduce the fundamental differences between conventional, hybrid and shale gas plays. Source and reservoir rock attributes of shale gas plays will be discussed as well as GIP calculations, water, oil and gas saturations, essential laboratory analysis, and optimum geochemical and mineralogical parameters. Slickwater completion (vertical and horizontal) lessons learned from the US will be detailed. Canadian plays will be Highlighted and discussed.

Basim Faraj is the Unconventional Gas Specialist at Talisman Energy. Basim obtained his PhD from the University of Queensland, Australia. Basim has many years of experience in the geochemistry, mineralogy and exploration of unconventional reservoirs (tight sands, coalbed methane, shale gas and hybrid plays) in Canada, US, Japan, Middle East and Australia. Basim is the senior author of the first major study on shale gas potential of the WCSB.
