Masterclass Overview

Shale gas is becoming an increasingly important source of natural gas in the United States over the past decade and is expected to grow further in the coming future. One analyst expects shale gas to supply as much as half the natural gas production in North America by 2020. This interest in shale gas has since spread quickly to the rest of the world as countries seek to produce more shale gas to reduce their dependency on foreign imported gas.

This masterclass will provide a thorough understanding on the evaluation of shale gas and oil reservoirs from various perspectives (geological, geophysical, geochemical and petrophysical) and how to classify and estimate unconventional gas reserves accurately and precisely. Delegates will learn to evaluate the various black shales, as shale-gas & shale-oil targets, as well as predicting locations of quality shale plays. The course will also present on successful shale-gas/shale-oil plays in the US, Canada and other places in the world.

A short presentation on other unconventional gas and oil types (tight sandstone-gas, Bakken Play) will also be included. Project exercises and case studies based from the trainer’s past experience will also be covered extensively to allow delegates to gain practical experience from this masterclass.

Dr Fivos Spathopoulos worked as an exploration geologist in conventional petroleum projects for more than 20 years. From 1990 to 2006 he worked as an exploration geologist and basin analyst in Hess and other oil companies, where he was involved in global exploration, as well as in mapping the world’s petroleum source rocks. He spent most of his career on international exploration, studying many sedimentary basins and petroleum systems in the world. He has been working as a shale-gas/shale-oil exploration geologist in Europe since 2007 where he studied the organic geochemistry, lithology and gas content of large amount of black shales in Europe. He is an expert on organic geochemistry and maturity modelling. He has also developed an effective method of estimating potential shale-gas/shale-oil quantities in new basins.

During his career time at the Imperial College London, he lectures on “Geology of Petroleum Source Rocks”, “Petroleum Systems Analysis”, “Formation Pressure Analysis” and “Unconventional Petroleum” and also participates in several University-Industry projects related to shale characterization as shale-gas/shale-oil targets. He is a member of the Petroleum Exploration Society of Great Britain and the Geological Society of London.
