2 One Day Courses GEOCHEMISTRY OF LACUSTRINE SYSTEMS [Dr. Tim Ruble] This workshop will cover practical geochemical techniques to evaluate lacustrine petroleum systems. Using the Green River Petroleum System in the Uinta Basin as an analog, we will provide a background for interpreting routine source rock geochemical data to evaluate organic richness, thermal maturity and kerogen type. We will address specific interpretation caveats associated with lacustrine source rocks and discuss their applications in resource play evaluation. Variability in hydrocarbon fluid geochemistry within lacustrine systems will be evaluated from both a bulk compositional perspective and detailed biomarker analyses of key organofacies. Hydrocarbon yield calculations calibrated with laboratory simulation experimental data will be assessed to offer additional techniques for quantifying resource potential. Selection of appropriate kinetic input parameters and basin modeling of oil generation in lacustrine systems will also be covered. This course is appropriate for industry professionals with limited geochemical background and to those who seek to enhance their basic understanding with more detailed applications specific to lacustrine systems. INTRODUCTORY GEOCHEMISTRY FOR SHALE-GAS, CONDENSATE-RICH SHALES AND TIGHT OIL RESERVOIRS [Dr. Tim Ruble / Richard Drozd] The course is a practical and applied introduction to geochemical techniques routinely employed in shale-gas, shale-condensate, and tight-oil reservoir assessment. Class emphasis is on explaining which tools and techniques can best address specific questions, what caveats must be kept in mind when employing these tools, what are the strengths and limitations of petroleum geochemistry in resource play evaluation, and how to interpret conflicting data from different analyses. Participants will complete exercises interpreting pyrograms, gas chromatograms, and elementary biomarker data. The class will employ various cross plots and simple mathematics to interpret gas isotope data and calculate original TOC, hydrogen index, and oil and cracked gas yields. APPLICATIONS OF STABLE ISOTOPE GEOCHEMISTRY IN THE PETROLEUM GEOSCIENCES [Dr. Tim Ruble / Richard Drozd] This workshop will acquaint petroleum industry and environmental professionals with the tools, methods, terminology, and interpretive techniques of stable isotope geochemistry used to understand the origin and fate of hydrocarbons and associated compounds in the earth s subsurface. The workshop will provide a general overview of first principals concerning stable isotope geochemistry in the earth sciences, followed by in-depth discussions and exercises about natural gas and liquid hydrocarbon geochemistry, and stray gas investigation and mitigation. The workshop is designed for geologists, geophysicists, engineers, and environmental professionals interested in gaining a basic knowledge of the applications of isotope geochemistry in petroleum geoscience, especially with regard to exploration, production, and environmental problems commonly encountered by the oil and gas industry in its search for energy resources. SEDIMENTARY GEOCHEMISTRY AND BIOGEOCHEMISTRY: A GUIDE TO INTERPRETING ORGANIC RICH MUDSTONES, THEIR SOLID-PHASE COMPONENTS AND ORGANIC CARBON PRESERVATION [Raymond Bruce] This course is designed to present the concepts of sedimentary geochemistry and biogeochemistry, along with the framework to interpret elemental and mineralogical records in such organic rich mudstone sequences. We will also focus on concepts as opposed to quantitative analysis, though some computations and chemical reactions will be discussed as they relate to biogeochemistry and carbonate equilibria. This course is appropriate for industry professionals who are seeking an introduction to geochemistry and chemostratigraphy as it relates to organic rich source rocks and for geologist, geophysicist, petrophysicist and/or petroleum engineers who work in unconventional shale resource plays and who use geochemical data to better understand their reservoirs. GEOCHEMISTRY: THE EFFECTS OF CONTAMINATION OF LAB DERIVED DATA [Paul Walker / Stephen Palmer] This one day course looks at many of the common forms of LCM, OBM and SBM contamination and their effect on the quality of lab data. We ll also investigate how improper sample handling, containers and packaging can have devastating results on data quality. Analyses that are covered include TOC, Rock-eval or SRA, Vitrinite reflectance, Gas Composition, GC, GCMS, and bulk crude properties.

3 Two Day Courses HANDS-ON LAB TOUR THE LIFE OF A PLUG This two-day course gives attendees the opportunity to experience hands-on the process of sampling a core and taking samples through the basic core analysis procedures. *This course only offered at a Weatherford Labs location. Three Day Courses INTEGRATING DATA FROM SOURCE-ROCK AND RESERVOIR FLUID SAMPLES TO EVALUATE SHALE-OIL AND GAS-SHALE RESOURCES ACROSS THE E&P LIFE CYCLE [Dr. Alan Kornacki] This three-day workshop involves lectures and six exercises utilizing data measured on rock and fluid samples obtained from exploration, appraisal, and production wells to instruct participants how to interpret geochemical data to help assess, evaluate, and develop shale-oil and gas-shale resources. USING ROCK AND FLUID SAMPLES TO EVALUATE GAS-SHALE AND SHALE-OIL RESERVOIRS [Dr. Alan Kornacki and Chad Hartman] The training session will include presentations, case studies, and hands on exercises that will teach participants how to use data measured on reservoir rock and fluid samples to help evaluate and develop/manage shale reservoirs. SHALE GAS RESERVOIR ASSESSMENT This three-day workshop involves lectures and exercises covering the general characteristics of Shale Gas reservoirs, sedimentology and stratigraphy of Shale reservoirs, petrophysical characterization and Shale core data relationships and interpretation. Also covered with be surface logging of hydrocarbon composition, interpretation considerations and hydrocarbon analysis. OVERVIEW OF COAL-BED METHANE RESERVOIRS [Chad Hartman] This three-day workshop covers CBM and early time gas content/composition analysis, coal characterization and processing, adsorption isotherms and determining the critical desorption pressure. In addition, gas deliverability and dynamic permeability considerations, production forecasting and core-to-log calibrations are discussed. Unconventional Reservoir Training [Chad Hartman] This three-day workshop will teach participants how to asses, evaluate and develop/manage unconventional gas and oil reservoirs.

4 Five Day Courses SHALE GAS RESERVOIR AND CONVENTIONAL CORE ASSESSMENT This workshop involves lectures and exercises covering the general characteristics of Shale Gas reservoirs, sedimentology and stratigraphy of Shale reservoirs, petrophysical characterization and Shale core data relationships and interpretation. Also covered with be surface logging of hydrocarbon composition, interpretation considerations and hydrocarbon analysis. On the conventional side, the sessions will cover important considerations before analyses, core composition and necessary preparation, routine analyses along with Special Core Analyses. *GEOCHEMISTRY: TOOLS FOR EFFECTIVE EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT [Dr. Mark McCaffrey] Course participants learn to interpret geochemical logs, map organic facies variations, identify petroleum systems using multivariate data, and predict vertical and lateral variations in oil quality and gas-to-oil ratios. The course teaches how to integrate geochemical, geological and engineering data to identify reservoir compartments, allocate commingled production, identify completion problems, and monitor flood progression. The course also explains how to optimize development by predicting vertical and lateral variations in API gravity and viscosity. Attendees learn interpretive guidelines to evaluate geochemical data. Interpretation pitfalls are illustrated using exercises. Sample collection techniques are discussed. No background in geochemistry is needed. *This course is available through PetroSkills or can be taught at your location *GEOCHEMICAL TECHNIQUES FOR SOLVING RESERVOIR MANAGEMENT AND FIELD DEVELOPMENT PROBLEMS [Dr. Mark McCaffrey] This course explains how geochemistry complements other reservoir management tools.
