Title: Carbonates 101: A Primer on
Carbonate Reservoirs for Geologists and Engineers
Location:
Pittsburgh, PA
Instructors:
Fred Read, Virginia Tech
Taury Smith, New York State Museum
Co-hosted by the Pittsburgh Association of Petroleum Geologists, who will hold their monthly dinner meeting in the evening following the workshop.
Workshop Overview: This course will be designed for geologists and engineers who have had little carbonate training or who would like a refresher course. Wherever possible, examples from the Appalachian Basin Reservoirs will be used.
This will be a hands on workshop with cores and hand samples from the Appalachian
Basin.
Attendees will receive a color guidebook to the workshop.

Title: Recent Developments in Upper
Devonian Sandstone Plays
Location:
Holiday Inn - Meadowlands,
Washington, PA
Schedule:
8:00 am to 5:00 pm
Lunch Break at Noon
Coffee breaks in morning and afternoon
Register by: May 19th - Registration is
limited
Course Outline: Recent explosion in Upper
Devonian drilling activity in Pennsylvania and WV has created an interest among
industry in learning more about how these wells are located, drilled, logged,
completed and produced. New approaches have proven to be more efficient and
cost effective. PTTC's Appalachian Region Producer Advisory Group members strongly
endorsed the concept of this workshop, and believe that it will fill an important
need for information on the application of new methods in these plays.

Title:
Hydrothermal Dolomite Core Workshop and Field Trip
Location:
New York State Museum,
Cultural Education Center
Albany, NY
Register by: June 1st - Registration is limited.
Course Outline:
The focus of this course is the structure
and diagenesis of Ordovician
hydrothermal dolomite reservoirs.
There will be lectures and core
examination in the morning and a field
trip to an outcrop analog for Trenton
Black River hydrothermal dolomite
reservoirs in the afternoon.
The morning lectures will cover :
• The basics of wrench faulting
• Structure and diagenesis of the
outcrop analog including 3-D
Ground- Penetrating Radar Survey
• Analysis of Trenton Black River
structure, diagenesis and reservoir
development
Cores will be on display from Black
River hydrothermal dolomite reservoirs
and the quarry exposure.
Field Trip: A quarry in Palantine Bridege, NY

Title: Well Log Analysis
Location:
Radisson Hotel at Waterfront Place,
Morgantown, WV
Instructor: Daniel A. Krygowski, with ChevronTexaco
Workshop Overview: Co-hosted by PTTC and ESAAPG, this course addresses logging measurements which are grouped by their interpretation goals,
rather than by their measurement physics. The common measurements are described in sufficient detail for an understanding
of their response to subsurface conditions (borehole and formation).

Title: Rocks to Models: An Introduction to 3-D Reservoir Characterization and Modeling
Location:
Radisson Hotel at Waterfront Place,
Morgantown, WV
Instructors: Matt Pranter (University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado) and Neil Hurley (Colorado School of Mines, Golden, Colorado)
Workshop Overview:
This course provides an overview of 3-D reservoir characterization and modeling concepts and methods. The course addresses different types of petroleum reservoirs (carbonates, sandstones, fractures) and techniques to define or estimate reservoir architecture and reservoir properties within a sequence-stratigraphic and structural framework.
The material includes an overview of the objectives for reservoir characterization, analysis of porosity (pore types, porosity classifications) and permeability (matrix, fracture), and common methods used to identify reservoir flow units. We will review stratigraphically and structurally compartmentalized reservoirs. We will emphasize the role and significance of outcrop analogs for reservoir characterization and modeling using case studies.
The course covers common methods of constructing 3-D geologic models of petroleum reservoirs. This includes an overview of 3-D geologic modeling techniques, common cell-based (pixel-based) methods, object-based methods, and the use of 3-D seismic data for conditioning reservoir models.

Title: Geochemical Exploration for Oil and Gas: Strategies for Success
Instructor: Dietmar "Deet" Schumacher, PhD
Petroleum Geologist and Director of Geochemistry, GMT
Workshop Overview:
This one-day course will review
hydrocarbon migration mechanisms and
models, examine the varied near-surface
expressions of hydrocarbon
microseepage, review exploration
technologies developed to map these
hydrocarbon-induced changes, and
discuss the applications of these
methods to finding and producing oil
and gas.
