Click here for a sneak peek of the webinar. The focus of this webinar will be on defining what geomechanics is, why/when it is important in oilfield operations, and the history and technical competence of geomechanics. This webinar is primarily focused on decision-makers and less-technical individuals who have a need to understand geomechanics from a cost/value perspective, but who would not be expected to specify or evaluate geomechanics services themselves. To purchase this course as part of the series, go to: Introduction to Petroleum Geomechanics: A Three Part Series. This webinar is categorized under the Reservoir discipline.

In line with the SPE Diversity and Inclusion Committee goals and under the scope of the Women in Energy program, SPE Qatar Section organized a webinar titled "Women in Oil & Gas Technical Leadership." The objective of the event is to promote, empower, and inspire women, especially those in the early stage of their careers, students, and female young professionals by providing an insight into key oil and gas trends and skills for personal and professional development. During the session, three keynote speakers from both professional and academic backgrounds shared their experiences: Maria Capello, executive consultant at Kuwait Oil Company; Marie Planckaert, vice president of geosciences and reservoir at Total Qatar; and Mashhad Fahes, associate professor at the University of Oklahoma. The speakers shared their success stories, industry knowledge, strategies, and experiences. The webinar was an opportunity for young members to hear the speakers' breadth of knowledge and expertise and learn about their path to professional and academic leadership.

The focus of this second webinar in the series will be on defining the issues and the critical role that formation stress, strain (deformation), and formation pressure have on the geomechanics of oilfield applications. Stress and strain will be defined and the critical aspects (e.g., the role of effective stress) of these will be highlighted. Measurement of these in the field will also be presented. In addition, this webinar will touch on the important role that formation pressure – and specifically changes in formation pressure – plays in oilfield geomechanics. The webinar will also touch on the means to predict and measure formation pressures. To purchase this course as part of the series, go to: Introduction to Petroleum Geomechanics: A Three Part Series. This webinar is categorized under the Reservoir discipline.

The focus of this webinar will be on defining the issues and the critical role that formation mechanical properties and strength and structural geometry have on the geomechanics of oilfield applications. Mechanical properties and strength will be defined and the critical aspects (e.g., the assumption of elastic behavior) of these will be highlighted. Measurement of these in the field from log data as well as the important role of core testing will also be presented. In addition, this webinar will touch on the important role that geometry plays in a geomechanical evaluation including fault orientation in 3D space, well trajectory, and variations in mechanical properties and strength across a given evaluation domain. To purchase this course as part of the series, go to: Introduction to Petroleum Geomechanics: A Three Part Series.

It seems logical to follow up on last month's article on rehabilitating or revitalizing underperforming and/or inactive wells with an appeal to The massive, but ill-defined inventory of suspended, orphaned, and/or poorly abandoned wells worldwide has caught the attention of our detractors and is undermining our social license to operate. Some of those wells are known to be emitting methane directly into the atmosphere or into agricultural-grade or potable water aquifers and/or are conduits for oil-contaminated, saltwater flows. Moreover, many industry watchers and investors are also openly speculating whether some industry players have adequate provisions on their balance sheets for the mounting decommissioning liabilities. There is no doubt that existing well penetrations represent a significant risk for those looking at carbon capture and storage and/or at repurposing the existing well stock for concentrated brine, acid gas, or liquid industrial waste disposal. The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and the International Energy Agency (IEA) are keen to put together some estimates on the worldwide size of the orphan and suspended-well inventories, the potential emissions that may be occurring, and the longer-term risks that are posed by these wells.
