Matrix and Fracture Characterisation of Unconventional Reservoirs
Technical Clarification Meeting during May 2013
Some thirty joint industry projects proposed From international universities and SMEs
Berkeley National Lab, Colorado School of Mines, University of Texas
Universities of: Bristol, Durham, Aberdeen, Southampton
Intellinet Sensors, AnTech, Terra 3E, OTM, GE Global Research Topics:
Improving Hydraulic Fracturing in Shale Clay
Smart proppants for monitoring for monitoring activities of fractured wells
Upscaling elastic anisotropy in shales
Natural fracture systems in layered heterogenous media and their interaction with hydraulic fractures
CO2 based, efficient, low cost and green hydraulic fracturing fluid
Formation stress measurement tool

Seismic While Drilling JIP
Look Ahead of Bit Seismic Capability
Better image potential drilling hazards and
allow real-time decision making
Unstable shallow gas pockets; abnormal high pressures ahead of bit; presence of salt layers Considerable reduce risks for deepwater
drilling Two new technologies being developed:
SeismicPULSERTM Sparker by Technology
International Inc.
HydroSeisTM by Tempress Technologies Further development of these technologies
with an experimental well test plan proposed Prototype Seismic PulserTM Tool

Running Projects - Subsea
SURFIM
Wood Group Kenny Advancing and automating Integrity Management strategy for Subsea Umbilical, Riser and Flowline (SURF) Systems.
Sponsors: Chevron, Hess, BG Group, Woodside, BP, TOTAL, Maersk Oil, Petrobras, BHP Billiton, Shell, Suncor, & Petronas Funding: £320k Duration: 18 months
SLIDE 12
Bismuth Plug – Proof of Concept Well Abandonment Plugs
ITF Facilitated JIP lead by Raw Water
Engineering Company Ltd.
£1.6m value project with participants
Shell, Nexen, Statoil, ConocoPhillips
Molten bismuth alloys flow like mercury
and then expand like ice on solidification
Viable alternative to cement plugs Reliable, high integrity and cost effective
sealing of abandoned onshore and
- ffshore wells
reduce risk to environmental risk avoid additional re-abandonment costs
SLIDE 13
Running Projects – Production & Wells
Down-hole Gas Compression
Corac Ltd Feasibility Study which will design test & manufacture a 7” Prototype. Build a multiphase flow loop and full test prototype. Commercial implementation discussions on-going with major service company.
Sponsors: Eni, Repsol-YPF, & ConocoPhillips Funding: £1750k Duration: 36 months

What is the collaborative technology space?
The answer to this question needs a convincing definition Likely to include:
New frontiers of technology with few solutions developed Technology qualification and trialling new technology Safety, Environment, Decommissioning & Abandonment Facilities development and asset integrity Improved design and analysis methodologies, setting good industry practice Avoiding areas of competitive advantage between our members Members wanting to demonstrate there is a market for the technology
SLIDE 15
Engagement with Technology Developers - 1
ITF will be close to our member companies
We will comprehensively understand their technology needs and challenges We will be well networked with their technology organisations ITF will be a preferred partner to work with technology developers for JIP funding
ITF are not the funding organisation
Our members independently decide what they want to fund
ITF wants our developers to be active in JIP launch
ITF will provide value add in the launch process
