Proceedings of the Canadian International Petroleum Conference 2006 and the 57. Annual Technical Meeting of the Petroleum Society of CIM : Because Technology Changes Everything. CD ed.

The latest technologies associated with hydrocarbon exploration, petroleum geology, resource development, and enhanced recovery were discussed at this conference and trade show. Research and unique global perspectives were shared in an effort to develop solutions to challenges facing the petroleum industry in terms of maturing basins, frontier development, unconventional resources, fluctuating prices and environmental concerns. It was attended by local and international participants in the petroleum sector, including managers, engineers, technologists, geologists, and other petroleum industry specialists. Topics of discussion included business development and risk management; cold production of heavy oil; improved recovery of conventional oil and gas; drilling engineering; facilities; health, safety and regulatory issues; numerical simulation; environmental impacts of oil and gas development; production operations; reservoir rock and fluid characterization; incremental oil recovery of solvent-based heavy oil and bitumen; thermal methods in heavy oil and bitumen recovery; well completions and stimulation; and, well test analysis. A total of 166 papers have been catalogued separately for inclusion in this database. refs., tabs., figs
