From the 2012 President

Dear Colleagues,

It is my honor, on behalf of the Society and the Board of Directors, to welcome you to the 2012 International Symposium of the Society of Core Analysts. This year’s Symposium, the Society’s 26th, is being held in Aberdeen, Scotland, the capital of the U.K. petroleum industry.

This theme of the 2012 Symposium is Integration of Core Analysis for Field/Well Studies and Across Disciplines: Two Key Steps for Adding Value. We look forward to the three full days of technical sessions, incorporating oral and poster presentations. A half day workshop entitled, Cross Innovation as a Way to Improve Core Analysis will focus on incorporating technology from other disciplines. The symposium will be rounded off with an optional field trip to view the geological features of the Lossiemouth area and to tour the Glenfiddich Distillery.

Special thanks for the technical program go to the VP Technology, Patrick Egermann and the 36 members of the Technical Committee. Patrick has put in many hours of hard work coordinating the committee’s activities of reading, grading and reviewing the abstracts and manuscripts for the symposium. The work of the experts on the Technical Committee is essential for presenting a high-quality technical program.

I would also like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to the VP Arrangements, Izaskun Zubizarreta, and the Local Organizing Committee, for their efforts in arranging the location and events for this symposium, including the tours for spouses.

Finally I extend a personal thank you to the other members of the SCA Board who have all worked hard throughout the year to ensure that the Society and the Symposium is successful. These include Stayc Feil, our outgoing Office Manager; Melanie Leslie, our incoming Office Manager; Christa Vindum, Secretary/Treasurer; Bas Schipper, VP Membership; Pat Lasswell, VP Publications; Jill Green, Marketing Director; Jules Reed, Past President; and Craig Lindsay, President Elect.

From the 2012 Arrangements VP

On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee, I would like to welcome attendees to the 2012 Society of Core Analysts Annual Symposium. This year will be the first time the SCA holds its annual symposium in the well-known Energy Capital of Europe, Aberdeen. Our theme, “Integration of Core Analysis for Field/Well Studies and Across Disciplines: Two Key Steps for Adding Value” reflects the importance of working in multi-disciplinary teams (vertical integration) and staying in connections with breakthroughs made in other disciplines which tackle similar technical issues (horizontal integration).

The Symposium this year will maintain the high standards set previously, while incorporating new features to make it a memorable experience. It starts with an optional Golf Outing, not to be missed in Scotland, widely known as the “Home of Golf”. Our opening workshop “Cross Innovation as a Way to Improve Core Analysis” has invited a number of industry leaders and will focus on the vertical and horizontal integration of Core Analysis in the Oil and Gas Industry. The technical program global theme for this year is “Integration at Large” covering a well assorted number of relevant topics and application areas.

As in previous years, a good variety of vendors will showcase their latest technical innovations and offerings in equipment and services to keep all attendees up to date. The Symposium will be a great opportunity for technical veterans and leaders, younger professionals and vendors to share their ideas, innovations, knowledge, best practices, products and services.

The venue is Scotland’s second largest purpose built conference facility, known as the National Energy Exhibition Centre, regularly hosting major international events and located just five minutes driving from the historical Old Aberdeen and ten minutes driving from the city’s popular Union Street, where the main shops, markets and restaurants are located. During August, the days are relatively long, with sunrise at about 6:00 a.m. and sunset at about 8:00 p.m. The weather, while somehow unpredictable in Scotland, is expected to have daily highs of around 17°C and lows of around 10°C. If we are lucky, we may even get a summer week during the Symposium, fingers crossed!

This year for the first time at a SCA meeting, a Young Professionals Event has been included, with the aim of creating networking opportunities for the younger professionals of the organization. The evening will start with a meal at a traditional pub venue unlike anything else in Aberdeen, followed by a fun Trivia Night full of endless entertainment.

The Awards Gala Dinner will be hosted at one of the finest venues in the region, the 13th-century building Meldrum House Country Hotel and Golf Club. The event will

provide a rare opportunity to enjoy “Aberdeen Angus Beef”, widely recognized as one of the world's finest beef breeds (vegetarian options will be available). Local entertainment will be showcased during the night, to make this year’s Gala Dinner a treasured memory and a true experience of the warmest of Scottish welcomes and hospitality.

We also welcome attendees’ guests, for whom we have designed a program that offers tours and activities to showcase the highlights of the Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire region, with imposing castles and breathtaking landscapes.

I would like to thank all members of the Local Organizing Committee for their dedication and efforts to make this event possible, sponsors and vendors for their financial support and presenters and attendees for their invaluable contribution to the advancement of Core Analysis.

Welcome to Aberdeen, we look forward to seeing you all and hope you have a truly memorable time during the 2012 symposium.

From the 2012 Technology VP Welcome to the SCA International Symposium and Workshop in Aberdeen, Scotland, UK. Writing these few words, I realize that the last SCA meeting in Scotland was already 11 years behind us whereas I have the feeling it was yesterday! Therefore, we owe a big thank you to our current VP of Arrangements, Izaskun Zubizarreta, and her local organizing committee for giving us the opportunity to come back to Scotland and hosting the event.

The theme of this year’s 26th symposium of the Society of Core Analysts and its associated workshop is around integration at large:

• Symposium Theme: “Integration of Core Analysis for Field/Well Studies and Across Disciplines: Two Key Steps for Adding Value”

• Workshop Theme: “Cross Innovation as a Way to Improve Core Analysis”

One main objective of the workshop and the symposium technical sessions is to enlighten both the importance of working in multi-disciplinary teams (vertical integration) and staying in connection with breakthroughs made in other disciplines which tackle similar technical issues (horizontal integration).

In previous SCA meetings, time allocation was introduced in the program for the authors of posters to make brief oral presentations on their work. Deemed a great success this will continue this year in conjunction with the traditional Poster Sessions.

This year SCA received in total over 91 abstracts from around 20 countries, illustrating the continued importance of core analysis and the expanding range of research areas covered – for example unconventional reservoirs, CO2, EOR and digital core analysis – in additional to the traditional subjects. Bringing together the final manuscripts and preparing for the symposium required a major and sustained effort from every author and members of the technical committee. I thank you all on behalf of the SCA for contributing towards an exciting and technically significant program.

I would also like to thank: Melanie Leslie, Stayc Feil in the SCA office for a wide range of duties including preparing the manuscripts for printing and composing the program pamphlet. Bas Schipper, webmaster, keeps the VP Technology “on track” with timely reminders. Ted Braun, Craig Lindsay and Jules Reed for their support and advices throughout the process. Evren Unsal for her key contribution in the workshop organization.

I hope that you will join with me in thanking the SCA board, the technical committee, the local organizers, and the corporate sponsors, for investing their time, effort and money toward making the 26th symposium a great success.

Regards,

Patrick Egermann

Optional Field Trip to Lossiemouth Area and Glenfiddich/Glen

Grant Distillery Visit – Friday 31st, 8:30 a.m.-7:00 p.m.

Kindly sponsored by Core Specialist Services

Coaches (kindly sponsored by ExxonMobil) will leave from the AECC promptly at 8:30 a.m. - meet in AECC reception at 8:00 a.m.

Dress code:

• Footwear - Boots or strong walking shoes, no flip-flops, sandals or high heels. There’s not a lot of walking, but there will be uneven ground

• Clothing – given the variable nature of the weather, this is Scotland after all, people should carry warm clothes and waterproof outer wear. At the same time they should have a sun hat and sun screen. Water will be distributed

• We will be travelling by coach for about two hours there and back, so anyone who suffers travel sickness should take appropriate measures

• We will have a limited number of hard hats available for some of the cliff exposures

Geological hammers are not permitted

From AECC the tour leaves the city and travels north to the Lossiemouth area of the Moray Firth Coast for a geological field trip led by a team of experienced geologists, who have a wealth of knowledge of the locality. Fluvial and Aeolian sandstones, which form the reservoirs of the Moray Firth area of the North Sea Basin are developed with excellent exposures along the coast from Burghead to Lossiemouth. Both soft sediment deformation and faulting at large and small scales are well developed; the effects on reservoir quality and subsurface fluid flow will be discussed and illustrated.

Buffet lunch will be provided in The Hopeman Golf Club, located 5 minutes from Lossiemouth.

On our way south back to Aberdeen, you’ll get a taste of the true spirit of Scotland, Whisky! At Glenfiddich you will be able to take a tour of the distillery, find out how the drink is made and even get a taste of it. Each visit starts with a film about the history of Glenfiddich, after which you will see the heart of the Glenfiddich operation. Feel the heat rising from the mash tun and discover the giant washbacks, hand-made from Douglas fir and five metres high. You pass the small army of stills and experience one of the traditional warehouse-earthen floors, stone walls, low ceilings and quiet atmosphere. Whisky tasting is also included. We will make our way back to Aberdeen where coaches will stop at the AECC.

Note: due to the high demand the Field Trip has had, depending on final number of attendees and due to distillery capacity limitations, part of the field trip participants will be visiting Glen Grant distillery.
