Who We AreSPE is the largest individual member organization serving managers, engineers, scientists and other professionals worldwide in the upstream segment of the oil and gas industry.

14–16 May 2019 | The Wigwam Resort | Phoenix, Arizona, USA

Applied Data Science and Novel Measurements for Unconventional Development

Image-based techniques and high-performance computing are allowing scientists to

conduct large numbers of virtual experiments, calibrated to just a few, time-consuming

laboratory tests. And, technological advances from other disciplines, such as rapid DNA

sequencing, are being applied to produce new and potentially useful information.

In many cases, the industry is learning a whole new language. What is the data telling us

and what does it allow us to control? How do we capture and institutionalize the knowledge

of our experienced staff so that new employees face a shorter cycle of learning?

In this workshop, experts from all disciplines will discuss how science is being applied to optimize

the development of unconventional resources – and what challenges remain to be solved.

Thank you to our sponsors!
