This document provides an agenda for a two-day technical seminar hosted by the Sub-project 2 of the EERA Shale Gas Joint Programme in Gdansk, Poland. Day one will include introductions and discussions on reservoir characterization, drilling horizontal wells, and international experiences. Day two will cover fracturing and monitoring, modeling of hydraulic fracturing and proppant transport, and innovative stimulation technologies. The objectives are to discuss research within each work package of the EERA SP2 project and exchange views between members and industry.
