CPGE's vision is to be the premier academic research organization in all facets of oil and gas exploration and production. Through leadership and technology innovation, CPGE will enable energy security that balances environmental impact and affordable resources.
The Center for Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering (CPGE) at the University of Texas at Austin will host a day-long meeting showcasing the current research being performed within CPGE.

Research presentations and posters will span a wide range of topics in subsurface resource characterization and engineering. Graduate students, post-doctoral research fellows, research associates and faculty members will share exciting new discoveries in all aspects of subsurface engineering and characterization.
There will be three sessions on the topical areas:

The University of Texas at Austin, along with its partners in TOPCORP, The Pennsylvania State University and Colorado School of Mines, has been chosen to provide oil and gas inspector training for the state of California.
Thank you to Drs Sepehrnoori, Chin, Wheeler and Foster for a great presentation!
Join the Center for Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering (CPGE) on Friday, August 5, at noon for a free webinar to hear perspectives on various topics in computational methods in reservoir simulation development and application. This webinar will present an overview of procedures for coupling reservoir simulation with geomechanics that include fixed stress splitting. This also includes fracture propagation using a newly developed phase-field approach for porous media, which can treat proppant transport. Our speakers from CPGE will also include application examples for field problems such as three-dimensional computational parallel fracture propagation, stress evolution, reservoir compaction, and fault activation.
Thank you to Drs Olson, Sharma & Heidari for a great webinar!
More information: Horizontal wells and hydraulic fracturing have revolutionized oil and gas production in the United States over the past decade. We give an overview of some of the geologic and geo-mechanical aspects of fracturing in shales. In particular we look at hydraulic fracture / natural fracture interaction, stress shadow effects that impact simultaneous fracture propagation from adjacent perforation clusters in horizontal wells, and the advances in proppants and novel frac fluid formulations. We conclude by weighing the environmental concerns about hydraulic fracturing with the benefits society has derived from the application of the technology. Read more>>>
