SPE European Formation Damage Conference and Exhibition TRAINING COURSES Monday and Tuesday, 3 and 4 June 2013 Formation Damage in Produced Water Re-Injection 0830 1800 (both days) Instructors: Pavel Bedrikovetski, Australian School of Petroleum Paul van de Hoek, Shell Pacelli L. Zitha, Delft University of Technology Description: Over the last decade, the scale of produced water re-injection (PWRI) in the industry has increased tremendously. PWRI is not only used for disposal purposes but also for voidage replacement and sweep in waterfloods. It is widely acknowledged that if injection under fracturing conditions is allowed, injection water quality specifications can be relieved significantly. On the other hand, induced fracturing creates its own challenges with regard to areal and vertical sweep, and (potential) loss of containment. Moreover, injection under induced fracturing conditions does not resolve all injectivity issues. Course Outline: 1. Introduction: overview of the types of formation damage, its prevention, and remediation 2. Causes and mechanisms of well injectivity and productivity damage 3. Mathematical modelling and laboratory studies of formation matrix damage 4. Injectivity decline for PWRI under matrix (non-fractured) injection conditions 5. Water injection under fracturing conditions: introduction and theoretical concepts 6. Injectivity decline for PWRI under induced fracturing conditions 7. Vertical/areal sweep issues associated with PWRI under fracturing conditions 8. Monitoring/surveillance for PWRI under fracturing conditions 9. Decision making in water management 10. Effects of formation damage on injectivity 11. Taking advantage of injectivity damage for IOR 12. Case histories on PWRI Intended Audience: The course is aimed at drilling, production, and reservoir engineers, simulation and laboratory specialists involved in water flooding, drilling, and well stimulation. 8 Attendees Excluding VAT Including VAT Member EUR 725 EUR 877.25 Nonmember EUR 800 EUR 968 Please note that Dutch VAT is currently 21%.

Tuesday, 4 June 2013 TRAINING COURSES Particle Sizing and Sand Retention Testing: Methods, Analysis, and Interpretation 0830 1800 Instructors: Tracey Ballard and Steve P. Beare, Weatherford International Description: This one-day course covers the principles and practicalities of different methods of particle sizing why different methods give different results, when these differences are legitimate and when something may have gone wrong. The course is designed to provide attendees with an overview of what is involved in producing such measurements so that results can be viewed in a more informed way. A variety of samples for sand control selection will also be given to make data interpretation more straightforward from both particle sizing and retention testing. Finally, different methods of sand retention testing will be discussed (including the inherent problems with such testing) and details of how to commission a test matrix which gives meaningful results. SPE European Formation Damage Conference and Exhibition Intended Audience: Users of particle size data and/or laboratory studies for selecting sand control, including completion engineers, production technologists and research engineers.
