Welcome Message from the Chairpersons

On behalf of the respective Executive and Program Committees, we welcome you to the co-located SPE Canada Heavy Oil Technical Conference and SPE Canada Unconventional Resources Conference. While the technical programs are unique to each conference, both events focus on enhancing innovation, efficiencies, and performance. Each conference is also focused on the production of hydrocarbon resources in a safe, sustainable, and economically effective manner. As an attendee, you can access the technical programs, special sessions, exhibition and networking opportunities for both conferences including:

n Over 50 technical presentations at each conference

n Keynote presentation from Darcy Spady, 2018 SPE President

n Joint panel discussion: “Wow, Innovation is Challenging!”

n Joint panel discussion: “Data Analytics and Cognitive Computing – Changing the Way We Work”

SPE Young Professionals Workshop: Innovation and Entrepreneurship (Sold Out)Thursday, 16 February | 1300–1700 | Room 100 A (next to Hall E)

SPEAKERS: Richard Kruger, CEO, Imperial Oil Pat Carlson, CEO, Seven Generations

Ten years ago, news reports frequently cited peak oil as a looming problem facing our world. Technology and innovation has since been developed that allows us to tap into rocks that were previously deemed impossible to extract oil from, reversing this trend. The Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin has been a leader in this movement with entrepreneurs using new technology to develop our resources in a safe and reliable way.

In this workshop, we’ll highlight some of these stories on innovation and entrepreneurship with talks from industry leaders Richard Kruger CEO of Imperial Oil and Pat Carlson CEO of Seven Generations.

This will be followed by a talk and activity from Kinetica Ventures on how to take a good idea from the back of a napkin to a fully realized company. Then, join us for a networking cocktail reception post workshop. (separate registration)

0830–1000 | Palomino D Session 04: Data Analytics ApplicationSession Chairpersons:Venkateshwaran Ramanathan, Schlumberger Canada Limited David Langille, Shell Canada Ltd.

One of the many challenges we face in the oil and gas industry is the management of data and information. This wealth of data is now driving decisions through the intelligent use of software and data analytics. Many companies in the Unconventional space have adopted sophisticated data-centric approaches that are building the pre-shale era of conventional reservoir data and modelling techniques. This session offers you a glimpse of the application of data analytics while speaking to the benefits of utilizing this emerging science.
