Welcome to the Middle East Unconventional Resources 2024 Exhibition and Conference, where leading Exploration & Production companies will meet with service providers in Dubai, UAE to explore the next generation of technologies and techniques for exploring and commercialising unconventional resources in the region.
Growing gas deficits and decreasing conventional resources are driving an increase in the exploration of unconventional oil and gas resources across the GCC. The unique technical requirements of exploiting unconventional resources need careful management, the right kind of technologies, secondment agreements, and joint research and development schemes.
Today’s oilfield projects need digitalisation and artificial intelligence to improve efficiencies and provide the ability to produce at lower costs compared to conventional resources. A shift toward horizontal drilling and multistage fracture stimulation will bring significant new life to unconventional fields of the Middle East.
Shale gas opportunities in Ruwais Diyab, Jafurah Basin, Rub al-Kahli Basin, the Abraq-al-Tulul oilfield, and many more are likely to have the potential for commercial production.
The key focus for this year’s Middle East Unconventional Resources 2024 conference will be “Exploration and Production Optimisation Strategies”, and the objective will be to bring domestic NOCs and oilfield service companies together with leading engineers to collaborate and examine end-user case studies, innovative technologies, and production know-how, and to address the current market challenges for shale production in the region.
Key topics on this year’s agenda include:
- Economic fundamentals of unconventional resources in the region
- Understanding the geology, geophysics, and reservoir heterogeneities
- New technologies and engineering know-how in shale drilling and production
- Reducing operational costs and optimising production with the latest techniques
- Maximising well reliabilities across longer and multistage horizontal completions
- Supply and logistics of water, proppants, and additives for fracturing operations
