SPWLA 2020 Spring Topical Conference

Unconventional Petrophysics
April 16-17th 2020, Halliburton Main Campus, Houston, TX
This conference will focus on the most recent advances in unconventional
petrophysics from laboratory measurements to field applications. It will be a
place to exchange and discover the best practices and latest progress in
unconventional petrophysics.
The organizing committee would like to invite abstract submissions on all
topics relevant to unconventional petrophysics, including:
• Advances in laboratory measurement techniques: porosity, saturation,
permeability, wettability, rock mechanics, minerology, organic chemistry,
nano-confined fluid properties
• Applications and advances in well logging methods for unconventional:
quad-combo, NMR, borehole images, dielectric, acoustic, geochemistry,
formation testing
• Integrated workflows for formation evaluation and completion planning,
identification of ‘sweet spots’ and DHIs, estimation of SRV
• Petrophysical parameters influence on geo and reservoir models
• Advances and new methods in petrophysical measurements of horizontals
• Advances in production diagnostics to “close the loop” from production
logs, chemical tracers, and DTS/DAS to understand zonal contribution
• Limits of current technologies and future new developments
ABSTRACT DEADLINE: March 2nd, 2020
The conference will consist oral presentations only.
To encourage sharing of the latest techniques, ideas, and developments in
unconventional petrophysics, proceedings and presentations are off the record.
