FOREWORD MINISTER
Message of Welcome & Foreword from His Excellency Shaikh Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Khalifa Minister of Finance Minister in Charge of Oil & Gas Affairs Chairman, National Oil & Gas Authority (NOGA) Kingdom of Bahrain On behalf of the Government of Bahrain and the National Oil & Gas Authority, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all guests, delegates, and exhibitors who have joined us for the 11th Middle East Geosciences Conference and Exhibition – GEO 2014 – which is held under the patronage of the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Bahrain, His Royal Highness Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa. Over the last two decades, GEO has established itself as the premier forum for presenting and learning about best practices, new developments and applications in petroleum geosciences in the Middle East region. Today, as we strive to meet increased demands on the world’s hydrocarbon fields, the need for new technologies to explore new resources and to develop existing ones is greater than ever before. The theme of this conference, “Taking Geoscience Beyond the Conventional”, focuses on current hydrocarbon exploration trends with emphasis on future technology and opportunities. It aims to highlight the talent, technology and collaboration required to provide energy to the world, while striving to exceed expectations in environmental and safety management. I would like to congratulate and thank the conference committee chaired by Mr. Ibraheem Assa’adan of Saudi Aramco, the supporting professional associations, and the exhibition organisers for all their hard work and enthusiasm in producing such a comprehensive event. My sincere best wishes for a successful conference and exhibition. Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Khalifa Minister of Finance Minister in Charge of Oil & Gas Affairs, Kingdom of Bahrain Chairman, National Oil & Gas Authority (NOGA)

FOREWORD CHAIRMAN
Message of Welcome & Foreword from Ibraheem Assa’adan Executive Committee Chairman GEO 2014 On behalf of the GEO 2014 Executive Committee and Technical Programme Committee, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 11th Middle East Geosciences Conference and Exhibition held in Bahrain under the patronage of His Royal Highness, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Bahrain, Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa. Since its inception in 1994, the Bahrain GEO conference and exhibition has been pivotal within the Middle East and the world at large through showcasing new technologies and state-of-the-art geosciences required to meet our industries changing and challenging future. GEO 2014 brings together the largest technical programme and premier upstream exhibition within the Middle East, providing a unique forum where the expectations of the geoscience community can be addressed through a combination and integration of the best local and international expertise. There is no better demonstration of GEO’s timely industry focus than through this years’ conference theme ’Taking Geoscience Beyond the Conventional’. The conference theme will be addressed through the presentation of over 120 individual oral presentations, 100+ posters, short courses and field trips. This exciting agenda has been built to stimulate discussions and professional exchange, across all parts of the upstream community, operators, consultants, the service industry and academia alike. In addition key industry topics, such as emerging exploration plays, unconventional resources, rising gas demands, new technologies and challenges in maintaining our workforce will provide the stimulus for the five executive level panel discussion sessions, led by subject area international and regional experts. In parallel to the conference we acknowledge the tremendous support given by the six GCC national oil companies, international majors, service industry giants, consultants and specialist suppliers to making the exhibition a success. This exhibition provides the upstream industry with a front-window where their latest technologies and applications can be demonstrated to the wider geoscience community. A great conference programme and exhibition are prepared and this is your opportunity to make a difference through your valuable contributions, sharing your knowledge, hearing from influential decision makers and executives and networking with fellow geoscientists from the GCC, the region, and globally. I look forward to seeing you at GEO 2014. Ibraheem Assa’adan Executive Committee Chairman, GEO 2014 Executive Director of Exploration, Saudi Aramco

CONFERENCE PROGRAMME Official Conference Inauguration 9 March 2014, time: 16:30 – 18:30 hrs The Executive Committee for GEO 2014 has planned a grand conference opening focused around the theme of “Taking Geoscience Beyond the Conventional”. Providing energy to the world starts with geoscience and its role in identifying and evaluating new resources, both conventional and unconventional. The ceremony will start with a welcome message from His Excellency Shaikh Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Khalifa, Minister of Finance, Minister in Charge of Oil & Gas Affairs, Kingdom of Bahrain. This will be followed by a panel discussion on the topical issues relevant to the conference theme. The distinguished panelists are: • Amin Nasser, Senior Vice President, Upstream Operations, Saudi Aramco • Marc Blaizot, Senior Vice President Exploration, Total • Matthias Bichsel, Executive Director Projects and Technology, Royal Dutch Shell • Paal Kibsgaard, CEO, Schlumberger Plenary session moderated by Nima Abu-Wardeh
Panel Sessions Panel I: Emerging Exploration Plays in the Middle East & Africa Date: Monday, 10 March Time: 08:00 – 09:45 hrs Chairpersons: Ahmad Al Suwaidi, ADMA-OPCO and Mohammed Al Badri, Schlumberger Invited Speakers: • Ata Elias, American University of Beirut • Jamie White, New Opportunity Manager, ExxonMobil • Michael Zinger, Manager, Red Sea Exploration, Saudi Aramco • Dominique Janodet, Vice President Geosciences New Business, Total The future of the global energy market is rife with questions and concerns, primarily: Does the world have sufficient energy resources to fuel consumption needs required for economic growth? While fossil fuels will continue to dominate global energy demand for decades to come, exploration in the Middle East and Africa now involves a focus on the discovery of new hydrocarbons to sustain reserves over the mid- to long-term. The Middle East has long been an active exploration region, but as conventional plays become harder to find due to increasing maturity, the risk of exploration slowdown rises. This means that locating new reserves will require thinking out-of-the-box with fresh, innovative and creative ideas for both near-field and frontier exploration.
This can’t-be-missed panel session will take a closer look at the new plays that have emerged in the region—not only through the extension of conventional themes but within new and challenging areas and domains, such as the East African shelf margin and East Mediterranean gas finds in deep waters. In addition, this session will cover recently-emerged, difficult or unconventional resources, such as deep gas, sour gas, tight gas, tight oil, shale gas or shale oil discoveries, and the complex technical requirements, exploration technologies, and multi-disciplinary integration behind their extraction.
Panel II: The Future of Unconventional Resources in the Middle East: Reality or Myth? Date: Monday, 10 March Time: 14:00 – 15:45 hrs Chairpersons: Intisaar Al Kindy, PDO and Robert Kuchinski, Weatherford Invited Speakers: • Scott Reeves, President Reservoir Development Services, Baker Hughes • Brian Gratto, Manager Unconventionals, Saudi Aramco • Jeff Meisenhelder, Vice President Unconventional, Schlumberger • Thomas Meijssen, Country Chair and Manager, Shell Thanks to the surge in production from unconventional reservoirs in North America in the past five years, countries in the Middle East have begun to assess the potential of shale gas and tight gas at home. While the attraction of large and secure quantities of clean burning natural gas to fuel the domestic economies is the main attraction, several economic and technical challenges must be overcome to replicate the North American success in this region. Challenges such as developing local expertise with Middle East shale and tight gas reservoirs, to the various technical and environmental hurdles that must be overcome could determine the viability of unconventional resources in the Middle East. In this session the question of reality or myth will be brought into clearer focus with discussions on a wide variety of issues. Experts will discuss topics relating to the broader question of economics – given the enormous conventional potential in the region; the technical challenges – given the shortage of technology and fresh water in the region; and the environmental concerns, that figure prominently in unconventional resource development elsewhere in the world.
Panel III: Keeping Up with Rising Gas Demand - Challenges and Solutions Date: Time: Chairman:
Tuesday, 11 March 08:00 – 09:45 hrs Misfir Azahrani, Saudi Aramco
Invited Speakers: • Adel Al Moayyed, CEO, BAPCO • Menahi Al-Anzi, Deputy CEO (Exploration & Gas), KOC • Ali Al Ghamdi, Chief Petroleum Engineer, Saudi Aramco Gas demand is expected to significantly increase through the mid-century, driven by population and economic growth. But meeting this rising gas demand requires heavy investment in gas supply to maintain secure supplies for the next generation.

CONFERENCE PROGRAMME
This panel session focuses on the challenges and solutions that relate to keeping pace with rising gas demand. Future gas supplies will come from harder-to-produce resources, unconventional HC, and from remote environments such as deepwater, from HPHT fields or contaminated gas. Access to these hard-to-get resources rests with new technologies, such as seismic imaging and processing, innovative drilling technology, and the skillsets required to interpret, operate and apply. The key will be integration of upstream disciplines along the gas value chain while leveraging people and partnerships. This session looks to discern industry trends and discuss local differences between gas supply strategies and technology developments, set against the backdrop of the societal, environmental and economic impacts to meet gas demand challenges.
Panel V: Next Generation of Upstream Technologies
Panel IV: Challenges and People Development from Pre-Hire to Post-Retirement
Few petroleum geoscientists foresaw 75 years ago the energy innovations we know today in unconventional production, deepwater, oil sands development, complex reservoirs, extreme Arctic conditions, and HTHP reservoirs. Yet long after the first commercially successful application of hydraulic fracturing in 1949, energy experts have continued to create advanced geophysical technologies that allow us to access vast unconventional oil and natural gas resources while working safer and more environmentally responsible.
Date: Tuesday, 11 March Time: 14:00 – 15:45 hrs Chairpersons: Bill Lindsay, Baker Hughes and Aus Al Tawil, Saudi Aramco Invited Speakers: • Omar Salem Al-Shamlan, Vice President, Manpower Development, ADMA-OPCO • Mahmoud Abdulbaqi, Chairman, ARGAS • Mahesh Puducheri, Vice President of Human Resources, Halliburton • Huda Ghoson, Executive Director, Employee Relations and Training, Saudi Aramco • Ghassan Mirdad, Vice President Bahrain & Saudi Arabia, Schlumberger With a dramatic shortage of qualified geoscience professionals in the upstream industry, the demographic gap between current generation and young professionals joining the workforce is growing wider every day. E&P activities are at an all-time high, and with a sharp increase in unconventional oil and gas exploration and development, producers are competing for more than energy resources. They need the human resources required to tackle the new complexities and technologies of a changing energy landscape.
Date: Time: Chairman:
Wednesday, 12 March 08:00 – 09:45 hrs Michael Bittar, Halliburton and Patrick Rigolot, Total
Invited Speakers: • Ali Mohamed Al-Mutairi, Vice President Petroleum Engineering, ADMA-OPCO • Terry Brizard, Executive Vice President Technology, CGG • Rick Weber, Vice President Technical, ExxonMobil • Greg Powers, Vice President of Technology, Halliburton • Samer Ashgar, Manager EXPEC Advanced Research Center, Saudi Aramco
This panel session will focus on the challenges we face in the decades ahead. How do we sustain and accelerate advances in energy technology? By understanding the broad and sustained need for revolutionary problem-solving in the energy complex, we can create policies that shape the energy markets of tomorrow, create new jobs and prosperity, optimize our investments, and protect the environment for generations to come. Panelists will address technology innovation, implementation and advancements to produce hydrocarbons in challenging environments.
These panelists will share their views on how to mitigate this situation and find a new balance between seasoned and young professionals. Shortening the period to transition young graduates from academia to practice is now a must, as well as engaging more women to pursue an upstream career, and potentially extending the retirement age to prepare for valuable mentorships.

An AAPG Short Course
Who Should Attend? Geologists, geophysicists, and engineers who are new to shale plays. This course is especially appropriate for persons that are responsible for shale play exploration or exploitation. Industry experience may range from graduate students to seasoned professionals.
Objectives and Content The goal of this course is to expose students to the basics of evaluating new and existing shale plays. Upon completion of the course, participants should be able to accomplish the following: • Perform basic log analysis on existing well logs of various vintages • Recognize what petrophysical parameters are important for identifying potentially productive shale intervals, including characteristics of gas, gas & condensate, & oil reservoirs in shale • Recognize important geochemical data needed for evaluating shale plays, both existing data and data from new drilling • Recognize important thermal maturity data needed for evaluating shale plays, both existing data and data from new drilling • Apply sequence stratigraphy to shale plays for mapping prospective trends • Apply stress regime analysis to determine horizontal well azimuth • Understand natural fracturing in shale and how they assist in increasing the productivity of shale reservoirs in conjunction with hydraulic fracturing This short course will demonstrate which tools, processes, and procedures all geoscientists, engineers, and technical professionals working in shale plays need to understand and implement. The instructor will provide guidance in using lithological information, petrophysics, 3D seismic, pore pressure, reservoir characterization, geochemistry, fracture information, and reservoir fluid information to effectively explore for and produce shale hydrocarbons. This course starts by defining what a “shale” play is and ends up with a brief overview of a few existing shale plays in North America. During the course we will review the type of existing data one needs to evaluate when moving into a new play area. Mapping techniques using petrophysical, geochemical, and sequence stratigraphy will be introduced. The different phases of shale exploration and development will be presented outlining some pitfalls that may be encountered along the way.
Instructor Lindell Bridges received his BSc and MSc from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Lindell’s first position was as a geologist for
Union Oil Company of California (UNOCAL) in Oklahoma City from 1982 to 1991. At Union Lindell was responsible for the development of over 150,000 acres located in 3 basins in the eastern U.S. He was also responsible at various times for exploration in Illinois, Michigan, West Virginia, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. It was at this position that Lindell first explored for and drilled shale gas reservoirs, including the Lower Huron, Antrim, Woodford, and New Albany. From 1991 to 2002, Lindell was an independent consultant working projects in several basins, including the Appalachian, Illinois, Michigan, Anadarko, and Arkoma basins. His work on various shale plays continued during this time. Chesapeake Energy in Oklahoma City hired Lindell in October of 2002 to work the Arkoma basin. Lindell successfully extended the Fayetteville Shale play into White County, Arkansas, more than 40 miles east of the established core area. In March, 2006, he was promoted to Geological Manager of Chesapeake Appalachia in Charleston, West Virginia, following their acquisition of CNR. At this position he was responsible for directing geoscience activities in 10 eastern U. S. states, including several shale plays (Marcellus, Utica, Huron, Chattanooga, New Albany, & Conasauga). In October, 2007, Lindell took an Exploration Manager position in Fort Worth, Texas, with EOG Resources. He managed geoscience work on the oil portion of the Barnett Shale in the company’s northern district. In March of 2009, Lindell was hired as the Senior Vice President of Geoscience for EQT Production in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where he was responsible for directing the company’s geoscience activity in the Appalachian basin.

S01 GEO 2014 Prelims_PART1.qxd 20/01/2016 08:29 Page 42
CONFERENCE PROGRAMME Once the fractures are recognized, their impact on the reservoir and its performance is examined. Six case studies are used to illustrate all the geologic concepts. The second part of the workshop covers all the aspects of modeling fractured reservoirs. Using modeling software and actual data from Teapot Dome, (WY), the geoscientist will be able to construct fracture models that integrate geology, geophysics and reservoir engineering. Emphasis will be given to the critical use of seismic attributes derived from inversion, volumetric curvature and spectral imaging. Using actual Teapot Dome field data from the Tensleep and Niobrara Shale formations and a hands-on approach, the workshop allows the geoscientist to identify fractures and to construct predictive 3D fracture models that can be used to identify productive zones, plan wells and to create fracture porosity and permeability models for reservoir simulation. The student can take the concepts learned in this class and use them to solve his own fractured reservoirs problems.

We will present qualitative and quantitative tools for understanding and predicting the effects of lithology pore fluid types and saturation, stress and pore pressure, fractures, and temperature on seismic velocity and attenuation. Moreover, we will show the importance and benefit of linking rock physics to geologic processes, including depositional and compactional trends. We further document that lithology substitution can be as equally important as fluid substitution during seismic reservoir prediction. It is important in exploration and appraisals to extrapolate away from existing wells, taking into account how the depositional environment changes as well as burial depth trends. In this way rock physics can better constrain the geophysical inversion and classification problem in underexplored marginal fields, surrounding satellite areas, or in new frontiers. The course includes practical examples and case studies, as well as suggested workflows, where rock physics models are combined with well log and prestack seismic data, sedimentologic information, inputs from basin modeling, and statistical techniques to predict reservoir geology and fluids from seismic amplitudes.

Prerequisites: The course is designed to be followed by anyone with a few years of experience in conventional reflection seismic analysis.
Objectives and Content All rock masses are seismically anisotropic, but we generally ignore this in our seismic acquisition, processing, and interpretation. The anisotropy nonetheless does affect our data, in ways that limit the effectiveness with which we can use it, so long as we ignore it. In this short course, we will understand why this inconsistency between reality and practice has been so successful in the past, and why it will be less successful in the future, as we acquire better seismic data (especially including vector seismic data), and correspondingly higher expectations of it. We will further understand how we can modify our practice so as to more fully realize the potential inherent in our data, through algorithms, which recognize the fact of seismic anisotropy.

CONFERENCE PROGRAMME Objective
Trip Overview
For the purpose of this field trip and the short time allocated for it, the two day trip will focus in details on Hanifa and Jubaila Formations which includes the reservoir units outcropping in Wadi Birk, Hawtat Bani Tamim. The attendants will have the chance to observe the different depositional lithofacies and how they are stacked in a vertical succession.
The workshop will cover the stratigraphic sequence including the Saq, Qasim, Qalibah, Sarah, Unayzah, basal Khuff, Khuff, and Sudair Formations in the Qasim area. The trip is designed to visit the outcrops in the stratigraphic order from older to younger formations and cover the structure as they become available in the field locations. The reservoir hydrodynamics and pressure regimes and their role in the Paleozoic hydrocarbon system will also be discussed. Analogous subsurface cases from Saudi oil and gas fields will be introduced at relevant field stops. An introductory presentation to Paleozoic petroleum system of central and eastern Saudi Arabia as along with the field trip plan will be given in the evening of the arrival day (the day preceding the start of the field trip). This field trip will take place in the Qasim area around the towns of Buraydah, Unayzah, Bukayriyah, Al-Qar’a, Uyun Al Jiwa, Quwarah, Qusaiba, and Kahfah. During the field trip, participants will stay in the Movenpick Hotel in the Buraydah city. The breakfast and the dinner are available in the hotel. However, there are many good restaurants in Buraydah serving many kinds of foods for dinner. During the day, light lunch will be provided and refreshments will be available all the time in the field vehicles.
Trip Overview The Hanifa Formation is 140 m thick is composed of nine depositional lithofacies deposited on a gently sloping, shallow shelf. The depositional lithofacies include: 1) calcareous shale, 2) clay-rich pelletal mudstone, 3) Planolites-burrowed mudstone, 4) horizontally bioturbated peloidal wackestone, 5) Thalassinoides-burrowed peloidal packstone/graindominated packstone, 6) swaley-hummocky stratified intraclastic grainstone/rudstone, 7) stromatoporoid framestone, 8) skeletal-peloidal grainstone, and 9) coated-grain oncoidal grainstone/rudstone. These lithofacies were deposited in five depositional environments including (from distal to proximal): 1) offshore, 2) lower shoreface, 3) lower uppershoreface, 4) upper upper-shoreface, and 5) foreshore. The succession of the Hanifa Formation consists of five composite sequences which in turn are composed of several high-frequency sequences. The Tuwaiq-Hanifa sequence boundary is a drowning surface marked by gradual change from stromatoporoid floatstone/rudstone facies overlain by offshore calcareous shale. The Hanifa-Jubaila sequence boundary is a disconformity (Hughes et al., 2008) marked by iron-stained hardground overlain by 10 meters of cross-bedded carbonate grainstone with mud rip-up clasts and 15 % sandstone quartz of Jubaila Formation. The Jubaila Formation is 70 m thick and is composed of five depositional lithofacies. The depositional lithofacies from distal offshore to proximal shoreface include: 1) thin-bedded pelletal mudstone, 2) horizontally bioturbated wackestone, 3) Thallasinoides-burrowed wackestone/ packstone, 4) hummocky-stratified skeletal-rich peloidal grainstone and 5) low-angle stratified intraclastic peloidal grainstone.

Equipment Required Sturdy boots/shoes, sun protection (hat, sunglasses, suncream, etc.). Fitness – most places require light walking (100s metres / comparatively flat). Coastal exposures require safety awareness of cliffs / tides. Sabkha outcrop will involve some wading in ankle-deep water/mud.
Trip Overview This trip provides an insight into recent to modern evaporitic coastal depositional systems as well as to the interaction of shallow marine/fluvioaeolian/ inter-dune settings within the Mio-Pliocene succession, that can be considered analogues to parts of the Mesozoic reservoir systems of the Middle East (e.g. intra-Arab & Hith anhydrites). Additionally, structural aspects of the salt plug evolution and uplift of the Mio-Pliocene provide insights to the most recent trap-forming events relating to Zagros-triggered deformation in the UAE. Comparison of current deposits in a coastal desert setting with Neogene-aged deposits within the same area will be discussed.

CONFERENCE PROGRAMME Western Abu Dhabi’s sabkha is a classic example of its type, with the recent deposits displaying the facies belts of a wide evaporitic domain that forms the islands to the west of the emirate: e.g. Al Qanatir Island area. Subtly inclined, each of the individual facies belts can be observed in a cross-section from the outer coastal mangrove area to the inner landward sandsheet transition across the tidal sandflats: trenches cut in the sabkha allow the stacked aggradation of algal mats, crystal evaporites, etc. to be clearly observed from subtidal carbonate flats, upper intertidal algal flats, lower supratidal, via mid-supratidal to upper supratidal evaporites and stranded beach ridges.
HAIMA FIELDTRIP (BARIK, AL BASHAIR AND MIQRAT FORMATIONS) Main Theme: Tight Gas Reservoirs
Outcrops around the salt-cored plugs forming the hills of both Jebel Dhanna and Shuweihat Island are composed of the Mio-Pliocene sequence where continental to shallow marine deposits can be observed. The transition from fluvio-deltaic to aeolian dune beds will be seen at the two main localities visited where the contrasting bone-bed and rhizocrete rich sequence of Jebel Dhanna contrasts the distinctly cross-bedded Aeolian dune and sandsheet systems of the Shuweihat outcrops. Interaction of large-scale dune cross-sets, sand-sheets and interbedded evaporites (gypsum crystal plates) can be examined at the island. At the jetty near Jebel Dhanna the transition from fluvio-deltaic to rootleted aeolian sandsheets is seen. Recent salt tectonics are the cause for the two jebels, with Shuweihat being a drape fold over a deeper salt structure and Jebel Dhanna being an emergent salt diapir.

Trip Overview The Cambrian to Ordovician Haima Supergroup of north Oman hosts the majority of the Sultanate’s gas and condensate resources, commonly in tight reservoirs at great depth. The lowermost stratigraphic units of the Haima Supergroup outcrop in the Haushi-Huqf High on the eastern continental margin of Arabia in central Oman. This field trip to the Qarn Mahatta Humaid area will include outcrops of the continental alluvial and playa/lacustrine to sabkha Miqrat Formation (a tight gas reservoir in the subsurface), the entire succession of the shallow marine Al Bashair Formation (one of the regional seals), including its trace fossils and trilobites, and the braid-delta succession of the Barik Formation (the most productive deep and tight gas unit in the Sultanate of Oman). Outcrops of the Permian to Carboniferous Al Khlata Formation (Unayzah B and C equivalent) that unconformably overlies the Barik Formation will also be visited. The field trip will address outcrop sedimentology, depositional environments, architecture and heterogeneity and some of the challenges of developing these reservoirs in the subsurface. The field trip will be based on camping at the outcrop, with all logistics and camping facilities supplied. The area is a remote desert environment and there will be some limited walking (maximum c.1-2km) over rugged terrain, moderate fitness is required.
