The Library is organizing an event to showcase what is on the market in the Rockies. We are working to bring exploration geologists and investors together during a one day prospect exhibition in Denver, on September 22.

The cost to show a prospect is $250/table.

Please join us for the the Denver Section’s Annual Awards Social.  This event recognizes all the amazing contributions to SPE that were done  in 2021.   You ticket to admission comes with two drink tickets and heavy hors d’euvres.  Additionally, you will get a chance to mingle with best of the best of Denver SPE.  Please come and joint us at this fun event.

Please help SPE Denver Section give back to the Denver Rescue Mission by serving breakfast at there downtown facility.  Please arrive at 6:45 and plan to stay till 8:30.

The Denver Section of the Society of Petroleum Engineers is pleased to announce our annual golf tournament on Friday August 12th at The Ridge at Castle Pines North. As in previous years, breakfast, lunch and dinner will be included. Separate award ceremonies and raffle drawings will take place immediately following each flight, thereby eliminating the need to return in the evening to collect prizes.
The proceeds from the tournament benefit the SPE Scholarship Fund and are distributed to petroleum engineering students in the Rocky Mountain Region. Our 2021 tournament resulted in a donation of over $24,000! We constantly strive to exceed the previous years’ donations and to do so, we will need the continued support of your organization.
The majority of the scholarship money comes from your generous sponsorship and support. Those companies generously donating $1,500 or more will receive the ultimate recognition as a Platinum Sponsor. Likewise, companies donating $1000, $500 or $300 will be recognized as Gold, Silver, or Bronze sponsors. The sponsoring companies will be recognized at the tournament and in the SPE Newsletter.

Acid Stimulation of Carbonate Formations: Matrix Acidizing or Acid Fracturing?

Carbonate reservoirs contain about 40% of the world’s conventional oil and gas reservoirs, including some of the largest oil reservoirs in the world. These formations are very amenable to stimulation by acids, either through matrix acid injection below fracturing pressure, or by acid fracturing.

This talk will present the latest methodologies for design and evaluation of carbonate acid stimulation treatments. Comparison of predictions of the latest models of matrix acidizing and acid fracturing leads to a coherent criterion for selecting which stimulation method is best for any given reservoir. So rather than relying on simple rules of thumb based exclusively on reservoir permeability, the engineer can now select the best acid stimulation method for any carbonate reservoir. We now have a rigorous, straightforward methodology to select the best acid stimulation method for any well completed in a carbonate formation.
