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

Wellbore Positioning Technical Section 
Topical Luncheon 
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.

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.

modelling and optimisation. Several papers will cover specific modelling topics such as stress shadowing, 
fracture gradient prediction, and the impact of sub-transverse fractures. Others will encompass the entire 
workflow from modelling to fracture evaluation including recommendations related to completion optimisation. 
Session 16 Unconventional Resources—North America and Beyond The development of unconventional 
resources continues to factor prominently in E&P budgets. This session will feature papers analysing geological, 
geophysical, and engineering data from industry experience to date, exciting new technologies and techniques, 
and the characterisation of some emerging unconventional plays from newly acquired data. 
Session 17 New and Innovative Formation Evaluation Technologies This session presents the latest 
petrophysical wireline and LWD logging technologies for evaluating the properties of both conventional 
and unconventional reservoirs. 
Session 18 Physics of Flow Fundamentals of fluid flow mechanisms are the focus of this session, from pore scale to 
lab scale to field scale, and from single phase to multiphase flow in porous media. Papers in this session are 
highly varied and include investigations of transport, relative permeability, capillary pressure, IFT, and saturation.

Session 26 Characterisation and Modelling of Unconventional Reservoirs Unconventional reservoir 
production has been growing tremendously over the last few years and has a profound impact on the world 
energy economics. To sustain this expansion requires improved techniques to forecast future field performance, 
optimising the number of wells and their locations to develop fields. This session focuses on reservoir 
characterisation tools, forecasting methods, and simulation tools used to predict unconventional reservoir 
performance. The topics that will be presented in this session include decline curve analysis, rate transient 
analysis, simulation models, and geomechanical models. 
Session 27 Gas Injection EOR Processes This session focuses on enhanced oil recovery (EOR) by gas injection 
processes. Regarding CO2 injection, transport is covered (including fractured systems) as well as phase 
behaviour of CO2 /petroleum systems and CO2 /carbonate interactions. Papers on foam EOR touch on field 
SAG results, foam flow in fractures, rheology of nanoparticle-stabilised foams, and oil relative permeability 
during foam flow.

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 
EUR 47 per person 
The tour will go through some of the most panoramic and 
historic areas of Amsterdam. It will start along the Amstel 
River with the skinny wooden bridge, the Munt Tower, and 
the floating flower market before making its way through 
Dam Square, the Royal Palace, New Church, the Amsterdam 
Central Station, the museum, and the antique quarters. The 
tour will also pass through the oldest part of Amsterdam 
called “the Jordaan” with its quaint little streets. 
You will also get to see Amsterdam from the water during 
a one-hour canal cruise. The cruise will glide through the old 
centre of the city and into its harbour, where you will see 
merchants’ mansions, churches, and warehouses dating back 
to the 17th century. 
Heineken Experience 
1.5 hours 
Sunday, 26 October and Tuesday, 28 October 
EUR 16.50 per person 
The tour will take you through the malt silos for a peek inside 
the mash coppers. You will have the opportunity to stand 
amidst the lager cellar tanks used to mature the young, green 
beer. You will then be taken on a voyage of discovery through 
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.

the diary is on display as part of the permanent exhibition. 
Visiting the house has been a moving experience for millions 
of people from all over the world. When the tour leaves you 
will proceed with a panoramic drive through the oldest part 
of Amsterdam called “de Jordaan” with its quaint narrow 
streets, bridges, and inner courtyards. 
The tour concludes with a visit to the Gassan Diamond 
factory. Gassan diamonds are housed in the former home of 
the Boas diamond polishing factory, built in 1879. The factory 
is a very impressive building, and you will get to see how the 
diamond polishers turn a rough stone into a precious gem. 
Amsterdam Home and Garden Tour 
3 hours 
Monday, 27 October and Wednesday, 29 October 
EUR 54 per person 
Discover the hidden treasures behind the facades of 
Amsterdam’s most impressive houses. The tour starts in 
a beautiful 17th century canal house with its magnificent 
neo-Louis XVI ballroom, dining room, and 18th century 
garden room and kitchen. It includes a stop at the formal 
French garden at the back of the house with parterres 
de broderie, and visits to a range of gardens and coach 
houses in the Golden Bend, the most exclusive part of the 
Herengracht. Coffee with a syrup waffle will be served in 
the kitchen of the Geelvinck Hinlopen private home.

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.

(for domestic and international travel) are also available from the ticket 
offices, which are situated close to the red/white-checked cube at 
Schiphol Plaza. Staff at the ticket offices will also be able to provide 
you with train departure information. 
You can also purchase your train ticket well in advance. You can either 
buy one from a ticket machine or ask for a ticket without a date at one of 
the NS service desks. It is possible to do so for both onward and return 
journeys. All you have to do on the day of travel is stamp your ticket at a 
machine on one of the platforms. 
Trains run from Schiphol airport to the Amsterdam RAI and 
Amsterdam Centraal Station: 
• Station Schiphol Platform 1–2 to Station Amsterdam RAI Platform 1 
• Station Schiphol Platform 3 to Station Amsterdam Central 
Platform 13b

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 Special events are subject to change.

  • 18. 16 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 EUR 47 per person The tour will go through some of the most panoramic and historic areas of Amsterdam.

  • 21. Amsterdam has the buzz of a metropolis but few big-city drawbacks. It’s small enough to walk or cycle almost anywhere you want. Gabled buildings, pretty bridges, and quiet canals give it village-like charm. Top-ranking art museums and one of the best orchestras in the world make it a contemporary destination. Enjoy this beautiful city even as you take in the superb conference experience that is ATCE. VISA INFORMATION Prior to departure, please ensure that you have current travel documents and if necessary, an entry visa for the Netherlands. Travel directions are available on the Dutch visa website, http://nl.vfsglobal.co.uk. Attendees are advised to check local travel and transport conditions prior to departure. You can automatically generate an invitation letter to assist with your visa application through the registration page. If you require an official SPE invitation letter please go to www.spe.org/go/atcepreview where you can create and print the letter to accompany your visa application. Please note that this letter does not guarantee that you will be granted a visa, nor does it commit SPE to assist you in obtaining a visa. ACCOMMODATION There will be no official conference hotel for ATCE 2014. SPE has instead block-booked a number of hotel rooms throughout Amsterdam. The RAI hotel and travel service is the official accommodation provider for 2014 and you can book your accommodation through the RAI hotel and travel service website, which can be accessed from the Travel and Accommodation page at www.spe.org/go/atcepreview. See you in October! 19 AMSTERDAM WHAT TO EXPECT
  • 22. TRANSPORTATION All full-conference attendees will receive a Travelcard, which will be valid on all GVB trams, buses, night buses, and metros within the city of Amsterdam. The card will be active for the four days of the conference, from Sunday, 26 October to Wednesday, 29 October, and will be available for collection on 26 October upon registration. The following lines operate during office hours to the Amsterdam RAI: Line From Via To Interval Tram 4 Central Station Dam, Rembrandtplein, Ceintuurbaan, Victorieplein, RAI Station RAI Every 10 minutes Metro 51 Isolatorweg Sloterdijk, Lelylaan, Zuid WTC, RAI, Bijlmer Gein Every 8 minutes Metro 50 Central Station Waterlooplein, Amstel, RAI, Zuid WTC, Amstelveen centrum Amstelveen Westwijk Every 8 minutes Bus 62 Station Lelylaan VU Medisch Centrum, RAI Amstelstation Every 15 minutes Bus 65 Station Zuid Scheldeplein, Amstelstation, Middenweg KNSM laan Every 15 minutes 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 (for domestic and international travel) are also available from the ticket offices, which are situated close to the red/white-checked cube at Schiphol Plaza. Staff at the ticket offices will also be able to provide you with train departure information. You can also purchase your train ticket well in advance. You can either buy one from a ticket machine or ask for a ticket without a date at one of the NS service desks. It is possible to do so for both onward and return journeys. All you have to do on the day of travel is stamp your ticket at a machine on one of the platforms. Trains run from Schiphol airport to the Amsterdam RAI and Amsterdam Centraal Station: • Station Schiphol Platform 1–2 to Station Amsterdam RAI Platform 1 • Station Schiphol Platform 3 to Station Amsterdam Central Platform 13b • Taxis: Taxis wait outside the arrivals hall at Schiphol Airport. • Car rental: Schiphol Airport has representatives from Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Europcar, Hertz, and National.
