Carbonate rocks may have different behavior when submitted to water injection or EOR methods.

Rock-fluid interactions, dual-porosity, and dual-permeability porous structure and 4D seismic surveillance are examples of issues that need an unconventional approach during the reservoir exploitation. A very significant proportion of world's oil reserve are in carbonate reservoirs, including some giant oilfields in Brazil, Middle East, and Asia.

The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) is a not-for-profit organization. Income from this event will be invested back into SPE to support many other Society programs.

When you attend an SPE event, you help provide even more opportunities for industry professionals to enhance their technical and professional competence. Scholarships, certification, the Distinguished Lecturer program, and SPE’s energy education program Energy4me® are just a few examples of programs supported by SPE.
