Abstract

The Second EAGE/AAPG Workshop on Tight Reservoirs in the Middle East will reap the fruits of the success from the first workshop in addition to strengthening cooperation between AAPG and EAGE to develop a series of multi-disciplined gatherings dedicated to understanding, completing, and producing from the tight clastics and the carbonate reservoirs. Our key objective is to meet worldwide experts from different disciplines, (geology, geophysics, petrophysics, engineering), in the oil industry in order to share their knowledge and experience to identify potential challenges, solutions and the best practices applicable to the region to unlock tight reservoirs; this will be supported by presentations of successful case studies and the sharing of lessons learned through technical discussions, communication and networking. This workshop targets economic planners, technical experts and decision makers with experience in exploring and developing tight oil and gas reservoirs who are working in national and international, operational and service companies as well as academic and research institutions.
