Introduction and Objectives

The 88th ARPEL Experts Level Meeting on "Management of Reservoirs", organized by the Regional

Association of Oil, Gas and Biofuels Sector Companies in Latin America and the Caribbean (ARPEL),

sponsored by Petroperu and with the support of its Exploration and Production Committee, will be

the most significant technical event of the year in this field in the region.

The integrated management of reservoirs is a continuous process that includes training and

implementation of multidisciplinary teams, with experts from various specialties, whose purpose is

to optimize the exploitation of oil and gas fields throughout their productive lives. To achieve this

objective, it is essential to use appropriate techniques for monitoring reservoirs, in conjunction with

low-cost recovery, facilities and well drilling technologies in order to incorporate reserves and

increase the economic value of fields. As a result, the development of the fields in a sustainable

manner requires a rigorous work which combines experience and technology, elements that will be

put together in this workshop to meet the expectations of all participants.

The main objective of the RANE is to share experiences from projects and case studies, as well as

establish a space for exchange of ideas and information where the latest technologies with regard to

integrated management of reservoirs will be made available. Thus, a great number of executives,

technical professionals specialized in the field and academic researchers will come together to

promote the exchange of experiences and best practices among operating companies and service

providers in Latin America.

The technical areas of discussion that will be the major themes of the Congress will focus on topics

related to revitalization of mature fields, reservoirs monitoring, reserves management, reservoirs

evaluation, gas + gas/condensates reservoirs management and research, development and

deployment. Today, all these topics are framed within the growing challenge of the analysis,

management, and behavior of reservoirs, which are essential for successful E&P companies with

significant oil projects in our region.

Who should participate in the RANE?

The Congress will be of special interest to: managers and professionals in the field of reservoirs,

exploration, engineering of reservoirs, reserves, geoengineering/geosciences, field and production

development, researchers, consulting firms, representatives of operating companies, academicians

and contractors in Latin America and the Caribbean.
