This Year’s Topics

How quickly time has changed!

The dramatic drop in oil prices has had profound impact on the energy industry. The uncertainty and fear continue to unfold as we speak. Many questions arise.

What is the future for the Canadian Oil Sands and prospect of big foreign investments in the energy industry in Canada?

How do we survive as a business or individual in the drastic down turn by becoming the fittest in the oil and gas “jungle”?

What are the opportunities in the down cycle?

There are many more questions and pressing issues the Canadian energy industry can ask and will face.

Building on the success of the two previous symposiums, The Professionals and Entrepreneurs Association of Calgary (CPEAC) has joined force with Canada China Chamber of Commerce (CCCC) and Canada China Commercial Association (CCCA) to host the 3rd Annual Sino-Canadian Oil and Gas Symposium. The topics of discussion include:

Alberta oil in the global market – today and future

Future investment strategies and opportunities

Distressed asset, merger and acquisition due diligence

Key tax, royalty and legal issues facing oil and gas investments

Cost challenges and solutions for sustainable development in oil sands

Experience in surviving the down cycles in commodity prices

Well completion and production optimization

Outsourcing – a threat to more engineering and project jobs in Alberta?

Come to join many of your peers to listen to industry leaders, veterans and technical experts sharing their insights and experience.

This year’s symposium offers more networking opportunities to meet with senior executives and professionals from both Chinese and Canadian oil and gas, EPC companies, service providers and research institutions.

Your will be intrigued and inspired!

An Assessment of Chinese Investment in Canada’s Energy Sector

2015

By Dr. Wenran Jiang, Director, Canada-China Energy & Environment Forum Wilson Center Global Fellow

Chinese investment in Canada went through a “Great Leap Forward” period between 2009 and 2012, with more

than $30 billion pouring into the energy sector alone. Today, China’s top three national oil companies all run

large energy construction and production projects in Canada, and they are facing the same downturn pressure

of the declining oil price. How are they performing? Will more investments come from China into Canada’s

energy sector? What are the challenges and opportunities in Canada-China energy relations as the industry

going through the adjustment process?

Dr. Wenran Jiang is Director of Canada-China Energy and Environment Forum and its

annual conference since 2004. He is also a Political Science Professor at the University of

Alberta, Wilson Centre Global Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Centre for

Scholars in Washington DC, and Special Advisor on China to the US and Canada based

Energy Council.

Oil & Gas Transactions Considering Uncertain Circumstances

By Charles W. Chapman, P. Eng., President, Chapman Petroleum Engineering Ltd.

A common dilemma in the oil and gas industry is a circumstance where there is a willing seller and a willing

purchaser of an oil and gas company or individual property, but because of prevailing circumstances a mutually

agreeable fair market value of the asset cannot be reached.

The types of circumstances that might prevail will be discussed, focusing mostly on the product price projection

used for determining the value, which in today’s market is causing many difficulties.

Finally, and most importantly, some possible strategies to overcome this problem will be outlined.

Charles (Charlie) Chapman is a professional engineer with greater than 40 years of

broad experience in the oil and gas industry, including staff and management

Evolution of Completion and Frac Technologies and Its Impact on the Productivity of Horizontal Montney

Wells in Heritage BC

By Chris Pan, Impact Completions Consulting Ltd.

In recent years the production of horizontal wells in the Montney formation in Heritage BC has improved

significantly. This study looks into the details of drilling, completion, and hydraulic fracturing data from more

than 400 wells in the Heritage fields from 2005 to 2014. The data were analyzed statistically against the

production of the wells. Drilling, completion, and fracturing parameters that had the most significantly impact

on the productivity of the wells are identified in this presentation.

experience in the petroleum industry. Previously he worked for Sinopec Daylight Energy,

Talisman Energy and Devon Canada as frac/completion engineer. He has worked many

conventional and unconventional oil and gas reservoirs in Western Canada including the

Calgary. He is a member of APEGA and SPE.

Understanding and Improving Horizontal Well Placement

By Steven Neu, Sr. Drilling Engineer, Canadian Natural Resources Ltd.

There are four ways to improve the horizontal well placement. 1) In Field Reference (IFR) surveys to remove

errors due to crustal anomalies. 2) Oil Field Differential Magnetic Reference Stations to correct for diurnal

and solar storm effects. 3) Multi-Station Analysis to correct for downhole magnetic interference. 4) SAG

correction to correct for deflection of the Bottom Hole Assembly.

Is this the End of the Steam Age? By Dr. Tom Harding, Corporate Technology Senior Adviser, Nexen Energy

Abstract: While there are many advantages to the use of steam-based recovery processes, for example SAGD,

for in-situ oil sands recovery, there are both technical and economic challenges faced by SAGD projects in

today’s low price environment. Particularly difficult are the high capital and operating costs and if lower cost

alternatives to SAGD can be found, they would be preferred. The pros and cons for the use of steam for oil sands

in-situ recovery are discussed along with an introduction to several promising new recovery methods that are

under development at Nexen that have potential to replace SAGD.

Tom Harding holds BSc and MSc degrees in Chemical Engineering from the University of

Calgary and a PhD in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Alberta. He has over
