SESSION 31: HEAVY OIL 2
Session Chairpersons:
- Alain Labastie, Total
- Paul N. Smith, Saudi Aramco
Heavy oil resources are becoming a hot bed of development activity. In this session, we will take a look at recent experiences in successfully deployed heavy oil developments. What determined whether these projects would succeed or fail? We share the results of one operator that re-vislted a previously terminated steamflood. Were earlier conceptions of economic viability correct? Also in this session, success is shown to be a result of an operator's ability and willingness to adapt to changing field behavior. New methods, new technology and new mindsets = Success.

SESSION 32: FORMATION EVALUATION 2
Session Chairpersons:
- Mohamed Hashem, Shell Intl. E&P Inc.
- George J. Hirasaki, Rice U.
This session offers formation evaluation using NMR, pressure, and stress measurements.
- Formation pressure while drilling offers a viable method for horizontal wells.
- NMR "Fluid Component Decomposition" allows direct fluid typing from time or T2 data.
- NMR is used in combination with bulk density logs for tight gas sands.
- The relationship between time on station and probability of losing a bottom hole assembly is examined.
- Downhole injection stress testing leads to a better understanding of hydraulic fracture height growth.
