New Directions in Carbonates
Carbonates are hotter than ever, thanks to carbonaceous and dolomitized sweet spots in shale plays and new developments in technology that allow tighter targeting, better imaging, better control of the impact of drilling fluids, and improved completion and well stimulation technologies. Join us in Fort Worth February 27 – 29 for three full days of fantastic presentations and discussions in the AAPG New Directions in Carbonates GTW. A partial list of accepted papers and topics appears below.
