The first 2 days of this workshop will be from 8am-5pm at the True River Cross Commo ns – 465 N Poplar\, Casper\, WY. All meals will be provided by EORI. T ransportation to and details of the Outcrop fieldtrip will be discussed an d arranged during the 2 day workshop. EORI is very pleased to offer this Core/Fracture Workshop and Field Trip with industry leaders John Lorenz a nd Scott Cooper. \;Pre-registration is required. \; And\, because of the nature of this workshop/fieldtrip\, attendance is limited to 20 par ticipants. With that said\, EORI is asking that those who register are com mitted to attending all 3 days. \; We will not be accepting walk-ins f or this workshop/fieldtrip. We fully recognize that things come up\, stuff happens\, emergencies occur\, etc. but we are asking that before register ing\, you organize your agenda\, to the best you can\, to fully commit to the full three days. The event is free to attend\, but pre-registration is required as space is limited. \;After pre-registration\, a confirma tion email will be sent. \;This is not an official confirmation of you r participation in the workshop and fieldtrip. You will receive a separate email once pre-registration is complete with final confirmation for this event. • Sponsored by the Enhanced Oil Recovery Institute. \;Conta ct Lon Whitman at 307-315-6450 with any questions. • Hosted by True Oi l Download Event Brochure Download Course Outline Who should attend? Geologists who need to characterize and understand fracture systems and their effects on reservoir permeability from core and outcrops\, who n eed to be able to differentiate between natural and induced fractures in c ores\, and who would like to be able to predict the effects of lithology o n fracturing. Engineers who want to understand fracture permeability in relationship to the in situ stress system\, the interaction of natural fra ctures with hydraulic stimulation fractures\, and the important difference s between extension and shear fractures in controlling individual fracture permeability and the interconnectivity of fracture networks. Petrophysi cists who want an understanding of the significance of different fracture characteristics on image logs and the reliability of image logs in capturi ng the characteristics of fractures. Seismologists who want a better und erstanding of subsurface fracture systems and their potential effects on s eismic signals. Managers who want an understanding of the technologies a nd methodologies required to adequately characterize a fractured reservoir . Learning Outcomes: Different fracture types have different eff ects on reservoir permeability. Not all fractures are effective in enhan cing reservoir permeability. Fracture types can vary by lithology within the same structural setting. Fracture types can vary by structural sett ing within the same lithology. Fracture permeability can be sensitive to changes in the in situ stress during production. Recognizing fracture t ype in the small sampling of a reservoir offered by core can provide a con ceptual model differentiating radial from anisotropic drainage. The inte raction of natural fractures with hydraulic stimulation fractures depends on fracture type and orientation relative to the in situ stresses. The s tudent will obtain insights into fracture mechanics and the origins of fra ctures\, and use those concepts in a very applied sense to instill an unde rstanding of natural fractures and their potential effects on reservoirs. Students will come away from the course with an appreciation of the wide range of structures that fall under the basket term “fracture”. Course Description: Classroom This is a hands-on class anchored with a 65-piece plus teaching collection of natural and induced fractures in cor e that students will work with during class exercises. The class provides insights into fracture mechanics and the origins of fractures\, and uses t hose concepts in a very applied sense to instill an understanding of natur al fractures and their potential effects on reservoirs. Discussions and lectures include differentiating fractures by type and the effects of diff erent fracture types on reservoir permeability\, and the fracture types ex pected in different structural domains and reservoirs. Course modules also include how to differentiate natural from induced fractures in cores and the use of image logs and their calibration with core. We will also discus s the interactions between natural fractures\, in situ stresses\, and stim ulation fractures. Students will come away from the class with an apprec iation of the wide range of structures that fall under the basket term “ fracture”\, and an understanding that different fracture types do not ha ve the same effect on hydrocarbon reservoirs. Field Trip During the fi eld trip\, we will examine shear and extension fractures in Tensleep carbo nates and eolian sandstones\, fractures that are related to folding on a b asement-cored\, Laramide anticline. The trip includes access to the heart of the Alcova Anticline and Freemont Canyon via a pontoon-boat excursion\, for a comparison of equivalent Tensleep sandstones found on and off struc ture. Outcrops around Alcova include examples of fractures in granites\, c arbonates\, sandstones and shales\, fractures related to faulting\, and th e relationship between basement fractures and fractures in the overlying s trata. Excellent outcrops exist of the Mancos\, Frontier and Mowry shale s and allow for hands-on characterizations and comparisons of the differen t fracture types in these lithologically and mechanically dissimilar shale s. Discussions on the outcrop will include the effects of the observed fra ctures and their distribution on reservoir permeability\, effective vs non -effective fracture systems\, and the effect of lithology on determining b oth fracture type and intensity. Both the course and field trip serve as the background for discussions on mechanical stratigraphic controls of fr acturing and production in conventional and unconventional reservoirs. A bout the Presenters: John C. Lorenz John earned an undergraduate B.A.\ , with a double major in geology and in anthropology from Oberlin College in 1972. After serving in the Peace Corps\, Morocco\, he earned on his M.S .\, with a thesis on a Moroccan Triassic rift basin\, at the University of South Carolina (1975)\, and Ph.D.\, studying the Nubian Sandstone in Liby a and Cretaceous strata in Montana\, at Princeton University (1981). John has worked for the U.S. Geological Survey in Louisiana and New Mexico\, an d for Sandia National Laboratories where he was the geologist for the tigh t-gas Multiwell Experiment in the Piceance basin. John has been a consulta nt since 2007\, partnering with Scott Cooper in 2008 to form FractureStudi es LLC which specializes in fractured reservoir characterization and effec ts. FractureStudies has counted over 50 companies as clients\, working on fractured reservoir projects around the world. John served as the Electe d Editor (2001-2004) and President (2009-2010) of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. As president he supported the advancement of the geosciences and their applications to hydrocarbon-related problems. His p ublished papers and presentations on natural and induced fractures in rese rvoirs range geographically from the Lisburne Limestone in Alaska to the S praberry Formation in Texas to the carbonates of northern Iraq. These pape rs and presentations have been awarded the AAPG Levorsen (twice) and Jules Braunstein awards. In 2018 he and Scott Cooper authored the “Atlas of N atural and Induced Fractures in Core.” He has worked closely with the oi l and gas industry on problems involving reservoir dimensions and in situ permeability\, gaining extensive hands-on experience with core analysis an d fieldwork. He has led field trips\, presented core workshops\, and taugh t short courses for the industry-oriented geological community in numerous places around the world. Scott P. Cooper Scott Cooper is a partner with Dr. John Lorenz at FractureStudies LLC\, working on naturally fractu red reservoir characterization issues in sandstones\, carbonates and shale s around the world from Alaska throughout the continental USA to Brazil\, North Africa and Iraq. In 2018 Scott and John co-authored the “Atlas of Natural and Induced Fractures in Core”. Earlier in his career as a Senio r Member of the Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories (a U.S. De partment of Energy facility) Scott worked on numerous government and indus try-supported energy-related research projects. Scott received a B.S. in g eology from the South Dakota School of Mines and a M.S. in geology from th e New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. His thesis work involved characterization and modeling of natural fractures in strata at Teapot Dom e\, a basement-cored anticline in central Wyoming\, the database developed from that work continues to be used as a teaching tool in various industr y fracture-modeling programs.
