Doreen Chin Martin Rylance Phil Grossweiler Conference Co-Chair Conference Co-Chair Program Chair

SHALE DEVELOPMENT AND HYDRAULIC FRACTURINGSan Diego, California USAMarch 17–19, 2014

Dear Attendees,

Welcome to San Diego and the ASME Energy Forum (Shale Development and Hydraulic Fracturing).

This year, we see the launch of the inaugural ASME Shale Development and Hydraulic Fracturing Conference, which will sharply focus onshale development and the application of hydraulic fracturing, for the recovery of natural gas and oil. Shale gas production is projected toincrease to 49% of U.S. gas production by 2035, up from 23% in 2010—while shale oil production has already been the driving force behindrestoring the US as the world’s largest oil and liquids producer and no longer holding the title of the world’s largest oil importer.

All of this has been achieved by refining and adapting the marriage of horizontal wells and hydraulic fracturing in play-specific ways andsolutions, which has resulted in unlocking these formations’ true production potential. ASME’s Shale Development and HydraulicFracturing Conference will bring together a broad group of industry leaders in a conversation on these technologies, applications, andsolutions (and issues).

In particular, the conference will offer direct focus and perspective on the suppliers of the hardware, the equipment, and the systems;for both the surface and subsurface operations that ensure that this demand continues to be met. This is a key aspect of the focus ofthis conference; although there are many meetings that relate to and discuss in great detail the sub-surface and formation aspects, there arefew that offer a systematic consideration of the supporting infrastructure required to deliver this solution. This refreshing aspect of this ASMEconference is likely to be a recurring theme for many years to come. Nowhere is such consideration more important than on the internationalstage, where the appetite/patience for learning will be limited; application of the lessons learned from the shale revolution in North Americawill be a key consideration overseas.

The result will be a high-level, three-day conference program that highlights critical challenges and opportunities associated with shaleexploration, development, and production. It is expected that the conference will inspire networking and interactive opportunities, which willdevelop into frank discussion and encourage consideration of even more innovation.

Have a great conference and enjoy San Diego.

Sincerely,

WELCOME FROM THE CHAIRS

PTTC WORKSHOPS

MONDAY, MARCH 17

Breakfast for Workshop Participants and Registrants(badge required)Room 24A7:30am–8:00am

Workshop 1: Petroleum Geology for the Non-GeologistInstructor: Janice Gillespie, Ph.D. Room 24C8:00am–12:00pm

Description: This course is designed to help non-geologistsunderstand just what all these geologists are talking about! We’lldiscuss why oil is found in some areas and not in others, whatkinds of tools geologists use to assess the petroleum potential andpetroleum reserves in an area, and what factors they consider whendeciding where to drill. During the class, you will work as part of ateam of “geologists” that will come up with several “prospects” fordrilling.

Oil and Gas—Sources and Maturation: Composition—CH as gasvs. liquid; Properties—light vs. heavy, sweet vs. sour; Sources;Source maturation—the kitchen

Rock Types—Reservoirs and Seals:

Sedimentary Rocks— Porosity and Permeability—logs and cores;What kinds of rocks act as reservoirs?

Where do they form? — Basins; Non-Marine; Shallow Marine; DeepMarine

Exercise Part 1: learn to interpret an ancient landscape using logsand sand thickness maps

California’s special reservoirs: diatomite, shale, turbidite sands

Traps: Folds, role of seismic; Structure contour maps and fluidcontacts; Faults; Stratigraphic Traps

Exercise Parts 2 and 3: Structure maps and prospect generationusing Part 1 sand maps

Workshop 2: Methodology and Approaches forDrilling, Evaluation, Fracturing, and Completions inUnconventional Shale ResourcesInstructors: Jack Wiener and Donald KundertRoom 24B8:00am–12:00pm

Description: This workshop will cover methodology andapproaches for unconventional shale reservoir exploitation fordrilling, formation evaluation, fracturing, and completionsconsiderations. Participants will learn that the methodology andapproach for a specific shale play may not be applicable to theentire shale play regionally. We will explore how each regional shalehas mineralogical, depositional, and maturity considerations thatrequire considerations for successful exploitation.

Workshop 3: Rock Mechanics for FracturingApplicationsInstructor: Neal Nagel, Ph.D.Room 23B8:00am–12:00pm

Description: This course will focus on the critical geomechanicalaspects of formation characterization and completion optimizationfor shale and other unconventional developments. It is well-knownthat geomechanics plays a critical role in the understanding anddevelopment of many unconventional reservoirs—chiefly due to thecomplicated and variable impact of natural fractures on wellstimulation and production.

Within the course, we will introduce unconventional developmentsand their characteristics. Following this, the nature andgeomechanical behavior of natural fractures will be reviewed. Withthis foundation, the role of microseismic monitoring—as it portraysrock failure—will be presented.

The course will then conclude with a review (based upon basicprinciples and numerical simulations) of common geomechanicalissues (i.e., brittleness, complexity, stimulated rock volume [SRV])for unconventionals.
