Gushor Inc. / Weatherford Labs Breakfast
April 1st, 2011 in Events
Gushor Inc. and Weatherford Laboratories are combining to offer a Joint Industry Project (JIP) to “Evaluate the Effect of McMurray Bitumen Properties and Saturations of Low Temperature Water Mobility and Recovery of OOIP during SAGD, Steam Drive, and Cyclic Steam Processes”. If you require more information on this JIP, then please contact us at info@gushor.com.
Gushor and Weatherford will be holding a joint breakfast information session on April 27, 2011 @ The Westin from 7:30am – 9:00am to run through the project in more detail and answer any questions you may have. Please RSVP to rstephens@gushor.com, we have limited seating available so please register early.
Gushor Presenting at SPE - Santa Maria
March 28th, 2011 in Events
Gushor Inc. has been invited to speak at the monthly SPE luncheon in Santa Maria, California on May 10th, 2011. The topic to be discussed is The Origin of Heavy Oil and Oil Sands Deposits – Learning from Alberta.
This presentation will:
- Discuss the origin of reservoir and reservoir fluid heterogeneities that are ubiquitous in heavy oil and tar sand reservoirs.
- Present a critique on the methods employed for measuring physical properties of heavy oil and bitumen and the approach for accurate hydrocarbon composition from oils and solvent extracts from cores and cuttings.
- We will also examine the need for baseline studies using fresh core samples, preferably at rig side to generate real time viscosity profiles. Rapid decisions whether to perform fluid production testing can be made while the rig is in place and logging tools are being recovered.
- How to exploit the natural heterogeneities in fluid properties to assess reservoir continuity, barrier versus baffles, production allocation, and time lapse geochemistry.
Dr. Barry Bennett is one of the co-founders of Gushor Inc., a Canadian integrated reservoir fluid characterization and reservoir engineering technology Company that specializes in oil sands and heavy oil recovery studies (and recently won an Alberta Science and Technology Commercial Success Award). Barry Bennett is Gushor Inc’s Director of Geoscience and is also a Professor at the University of Calgary. Barry developed many of the geochemical methods that adopt QA/QC protocol leading the way for a revolution in petroleum geochemistry. His current R&D focus is to develop novel schemes for well site fluid description and developing proxies for PVT, assay, physical property prediction and indicators for thermal conversion in SAGD and CSS systems.
Barry received degrees in Geological Sciences (BSc), Organic petrology and Organic Geochemistry (MSc) and a PhD in Organic Geochemistry. Barry is an Associate Editor of the Journal of Marine and Petroleum Geology and is a member of APEGGA. Barry enjoys golf, football, travel and field geology.

16th European Symposium on Improved Oil Recovery
October 22nd, 2010
The theme of the symposium remains around conversion of resources to reserves but seeks to answer the question whether our promises will become reality. This reflects the challenge to demonstrate from first concept selection onto field application that the promised technology for Improved and Enhanced Oil Recovery can economically add significant reserves.
Second Workshop on Exploration
October 22nd, 2010
Unconventional Resources: Entering an Era of New Exploration Play Concepts
The event will focus on the exploration side of the unconventional plays. Traps other than the conventional four way closures or fault controlled structures. Case studies, new technologies, methodologies, integration, and knowledge sharing will be presented and discussed in this workshop.
