NARG Workshop: Naturally Fractured Hydrocarbon Reservoirs of North Africa, January 2011, Manchester
Organisers: Guy H. Spence and Jonathan Redfern
This 2-day workshop on naturally fractured hydrocarbon reservoirs will be held at the University of Manchester on Wednesday 12th and Thursday 13th January 2011.
North Africa is the primary focus of the workshop but presentations on all aspects of naturally fractured reservoirs from other regions are also welcome. We would like the workshop to include both methodologies and outcrop and subsurface studies addressing the fundamental controls on natural fracture networks and also case histories of the practical development and modelling of naturally fractured hydrocarbon reservoirs. Presentations already submitted include naturally fractured reservoirs from the Cretaceous of Libya, Palaeozoic of Algeria, Miocene and Eocene of Egypt, Senonian of Tunisia, Devonian of Morocco, and examples from Malta and Jordan. Presentations on investigative methodologies and techniques have also been received. The meeting will include a mix of speakers from the petroleum industry and academia.
