VIEW PRESENTATIONS SUPPORTERS

For 2008 we have combined the material normally covered in the last three roundtables in the series into one intense two day meeting permitting people to attend who normally have to miss at least one meeting due to their schedule.

Three roundtables rolled into Two Full Intense days for the price of One.

Topics:

February 27th Morning Session
Prediction and Pre-Drill Analysis

Sub-salt & its effect on pore pressure & effective stress over time	Identifying danger zones for shear failure, point loading & mud loss
Identifying fold belts & Analyzing Fault Juxtaposition	Integrating pore pressure prediction & fracture gradients
Estimating pore pressure & fracture gradient with offset well logs	Seismic velocity & Very high frequency velocity information
Planning for drilling in salt & avoiding instability when exiting salt formations	Optimizing team efforts - identifying critical data & effective knowledge transfer
Quantifying uncertainty	Utilizing visualization for pre-drill analysis
Formation Pressure	Pore Pressure Compressibility

February 27th Afternoon Session
Project Planning and Well Design to Avoid Catastrophe

Constructing drilling margin maps	Well kicks & blowouts
Casing string for narrow pressure & frac gradient margins	Designing a casing string plan for narrow pressure/ frac gradient margins
Planning for Drilling & Exiting salt	MUD program & contingencies for lost circulation
Identifying technical limits & appropriate tools	Bottom hole assembly failure
Annular pressure planning	Determining appropriate expandables & casings

February 28th Morning Session
