1. EAGE/AAPG MIDDLE EAST Tight gas reservoirs WORKSHOP:
An Integrated E&P Perspective
30 October – 2 November 2011
Dubai, UAE
Workshop Overview
Tight gas reservoirs of the Middle East have increasingly become targets for exploration assessments
during the last few years as they possess potential of substantial gas resources. This has necessitated an
E&P initiative for a series of workshops to address all aspects of the future of tight gas in the Middle East.
Two successful workshops were conducted in 2009 and 2010, and this workshop of 2011 will illuminate
the continuity of the success.
The 3rd workshop will address all E&P aspects of the tight gas reservoirs and, but will concentrate more on
the area of integration between G&G and engineering. A new addition to this year’s workshop is the
economics of tight gas resources in the Middle East. The workshop will include a mixture of presentations
and group discussions with ample time for interactions amongst the participants. With attendees from
North America, Europe, and East Asia, the workshop is expected to be a great opportunity for exchanging
experience and knowledge as well as for having fruitful discussions. The workshop is augmented with an
optional 3-day field trip to the Paleozoic outcrops of central Arabia to touch the tight gas reservoir systems
of Saudi Arabia.
