Emerging Petroleum Resources Division

For more information on this Division, please contact the Division Chair, Michelle Hawke, BP Canada at Michelle.Hawke@bp.com.

Division Profile

The mandate of the Emerging Petroleum Resources Division (EPRD) is to provide a forum for CSPG members who are engaged in the search, characterization, evaluation and production of resources that are commonly regarded as "unconventional" here in Canada. As we look ahead for future petroleum resources, much of the production is expected to come from less conventional plays. Some of the primary emerging resources include coalbed methane, gas and oil shales, gas hydrates and very low permeability reservoirs ("tight gas"). All of these emerging play types have large resource estimates attached, but present technological or economic challenges to overcome.

Monthly noon-hour talks are held in the ConocoPhillips Auditorium. The ConocoPhillips Auditorium can be found on the +30 level on the west end of the building, at 401 - 9th Avenue SW, Calgary. Speakers for the luncheons are sought from industry, academia, and research institutions to present talks on topics ranging from coalbed methane, tight gas reservoirs, gas hydrates, gas and oil shales, and other unconventional resources.

Information
