1030–1200
Opening General Session: Affordable Energy
A panel of experts will discuss the options for
affordable energy, now that the era for easy oil
and gas is over. As the world’s population grows
and standards of living rise in developing countries,
so the demand for energy continues to increase,
likely doubling between 2000 and 2050. However,
governments, industries and consumers alike must
be able and willing to pay the price for that energy.
Affordable energy has many facets that must be
considered.
Climate change may cause more extreme
weather—higher rainfall, surging waves, and
drought—that require existing and new facilities to
be adapted. Water use and consumption by the oil
and gas industry is coming under scrutiny, requiring
more sophisticated and thus more expensive
solutions.
Public and government concerns about our
industry’s safety and environmental record may
lead to more stringent policies and regulations that
have their own price tag.
Against these pressures, other forms of energy
are competing with the traditional energy carriers.
In the global energy market of the future, the
oil and gas industry must keep costs under control,
manage environmental impacts, and advocate

Why Did Your Reservoir Just Move?
Geophysicists and geologists deal with uncertainty
on a daily basis, but expect their downhole well
surveys to be absolutely precise. Reality is that
poor survey practices and bad assumptions can
introduce depth and other errors that severely
affect reservoir position and estimates, potentially
impacting company stock valuations.
Industry experts will examine the scale of
the problem and suggest practical means to
improve understanding of your reservoir. The
event will conclude with a panel discussion of
audience questions.

Sessions
MONDAY • 27 OCBOTER • 4010–1700 As of 28 May 2014
SPE Training Courses will be held before and after ATCE.
See page 14 for the complete list of course options.
Session 01 Integrated Workflows: Geophysics and Fracture Characterisation Advanced reservoir
description requires the use of complex workflows integrating multiple data sources, and this session focuses
on two aspects. The first is the use of geophysics data of various natures (seismic, EM, etc.). The second is
the quantified characterisation of natural fractures from the wellbore to the full reservoir scale.
Session 02 Advanced Technologies for Downhole Flow Monitoring New technologies are being introduced
to the oil and gas industry. Distributed sensing technologies such as Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) and
Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) are making headway in the field of in-flow monitoring. This session covers advances
in such acquisition, data retrieval, and interpretation techniques for qualitative and quantitative evaluation of flow
characteristics in reservoirs.
Session 03 Well Operations Case Studies—Monitoring, Intervention, and Artificial Lift This session
covers well monitoring, control and artificial lift novel technologies. Case studies present the implementation
of these new techniques in a variety of environments.
Session 04 Completion Technology This session presents a variety of completion techniques and material
technologies. Topics include technological advancements in completion design in unconventional and HP/HT
applications. Also included are nano and soluble material technologies to optimise completion efficiency.
Session 05 Drilling Automation The increasing implementation of drilling automation has largely been the result of
advancements in sensor, communication, network, and systems technology. This session looks at how these
technologies are impacting condition monitoring of downhole equipment, lateral well placement, kick detection,
drive systems, and tripping optimisation. A keynote speaker will present his views on how the different elements
of drilling automation must interact to achieve maximum benefit and efficiency.
Session 06 Fluids, Proppants, and Fracture Conductivity This session presents new developments in fracturing
fluids and proppants and their impacts on conductivity and well performance. Papers discuss laboratory
testing and field results of novel fluid and proppant systems, with a focus on the behaviours in shale reservoirs.
An emphasis of this session is the interaction between shale rocks and the proppants and fracturing fluids.
Session 07 Reserves Estimation and Reporting How is the value of a company impacted when changing from
a set of reserves guidelines to another? This session presents a range of papers and case studies on the
complexity of reserves estimation and reporting.
Session 08 Challenges in PVT and Lab Analysis of Reservoir Systems Reliable PVT calculations and laboratory
analysis are critical components of any accurate reservoir description. This session will discuss a number of
important issues relevant to PVT predictions and experimental measurements, including EOS component
lumping schemes, PVT selection and screening criteria, effects of gas injection in asphaltene precipitation,
effects of ultrasmall pore confinement on PVT fluid properties, EOS tuning, relative permeability measurement
quality control, and phase behaviour modelling and prediction.
Session 09 Advances in Enhanced and Improved Oil Recovery Technology Recent advances in enhanced oil
recovery (EOR) and improved oil recovery (IOR) have resulted in a better understanding of processes such as
chemical EOR, polymer floods, in-situ conversion process (ICP) of oil shale, alkaline-surfactant polymer (ASP),
and vapour extraction (VAPEX) of heavy oils, in fractured and heterogeneous porous media. Practical and
theoretical findings are shared as results in these outstanding and selected studies.

GUEST
TOURS
All tours will include beverages (tea, coffee, and
a beer during the Heineken Experience). It is
recommended that you dress appropriately for
autumn in the Netherlands and that you wear
comfortable walking shoes.
To sign up, visit www.spe.org/go/atcepreview
and look for Guest Tours under the Schedule tab.
Zaanse Schans and Edam Tour
5 hours
Sunday, 26 October
EUR 36.50 per person
The tour will start with a small drive to the windmill village
of the Zaanse Schans, a characteristic living and working
area on the River Zaan, with wooden houses and windmills
dating back to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
The original buildings vividly depict Dutch life in those times.
Zaanse Schans is a fully inhabited, open-air conservation
area and is located nine miles north of Amsterdam. Before
returning to Amsterdam, you will visit the medieval town of
Edam. Edam is a town rich with history. Shipbuilding played
an important role in its growth during the 17th century. Edam
once had 33 shipyards and one of the more famous ships
built in Edam is the Halve Maan, the ship used by Henry
Hudson in his attempt to discover a northern route to the East
Indies in 1609. A futile attempt, in fact, because he ended up
on the island of Manhattan. The most obvious association
with Edam is its cheese. For centuries the well-known round
Edam cheeses have been sent from the town to all corners
of the world. The cheese market, once again restored to its
place of honour, operates weekly during the summer months.
The nearby cheese warehouses keep alive the memory of a
colourful past.
Panoramic Sightseeing Tour of Amsterdam
Including Private Boat Tour
4 hours
Sunday, 26 October and Monday, 27 October

the World of Heineken. The malt silo in the authentic brew
house still has the original brewing vessels and you can enjoy
a refreshing glass of Heineken beer in the Brewhouse Bar.
The experience ends in the See You Again Bar. The former
Heineken brewery is a national monument and is listed as an
anchor point along the European Route of Industrial Heritage.
It is also one of the most popular tourist attractions in the
Dutch capital.

To plan your Public Transport in Amsterdam please visit:
http://en.gvb.nl/pages/home.aspx.
Train: Trains are typically used for travel between different towns, but
sometimes they are also the most efficient way to get from one side of
Amsterdam to the other (ex: Central Station to Amsterdam Zuid). It is
possible to use an OV-chipkaart on the train, but you must first request
activation of this service and then add sufficient credit. Most visitors
will find it more convenient to purchase tickets at the station from one
of the ticket machines or ticket counters. You can also buy tickets on
the NS website: http://www.ns.nl/en/travellers/home.
Tram: Trams are ideal for short journeys around the city centre, as
well as for travelling to other districts. Only one-hour disposable
tickets can be purchased from the conductor. Other types of
tickets can be purchased at GVB Tickets & Info offices or GVB ticket
vending machines.
Metro: Amsterdam’s metro system radiates from Central Station to
the city’s outer districts and is the fastest way to reach districts like
the Bijlmer, Amstelveen, and Diemen. An OV-chipkaart cannot be
purchased inside the metro. You must buy it in advance at a GVB
Tickets & Info counter or from GVB ticket vending machines.
Bus: Amsterdam’s extensive bus network will take you nearly
anywhere you want to go. Just like the tram, only one-hour tickets
can be purchased on board. Other types of tickets can be purchased
at GVB Tickets and Info offices or GVB ticket vending machines.
Air France/KLM Official Carrier for SPE ATCE 2014: Air France/KLM
is the official carrier for SPE ATCE 2014 in Amsterdam. Visitors and
exhibitors benefit from a 5 to 10% discount on a wide range of public
fares in economy and business class. For more information please visit
the website: www.klm-globalmeetings.com/?eid=21764AF.
Airport Transport Services:
Buses and trains: Train tickets for domestic travel are available from
the yellow ticket machines near the platforms at Schiphol Plaza. Tickets
