Events
Mechanical Earth Modeling seminar
The second meeting for the Fall 2016 semester will be on Thursday, December 1, 2016 at 5.30pm. The location is Louisiana State University, Lockett Hall, Room 16, Baton Rouge, LA 70803.
The speaker will be Harvey Goodman, Chevron.
Come and learn about Mechanical Earth Modeling (MEM). MEM allows determining the geomechanical state of the reservoir. The model incorporates property distribution (e.g., density, porosity), fracture system, pore pressures, state of stress, and rock mechanical properties. Free food.

The first meeting for the Fall 2016 semester was on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 at 4.30pm. The location was Louisiana State University, Tureaud Hall, Room 103, Baton Rouge, LA 70803.
The speaker was be Dr. Julius Langlanais (adjunct faculty of the Craft and Hawkins Department of Petroleum Engineering).
Come and learn about mechanics of coiled tubing: fundamentals and challenges of coiled tubing.
COMSOL Multiphysics® seminar
The second meeting for the Spring 2016 semester was on Thursday, February 25, 2016 at 5.45pm. The location was Louisiana State University, Tureaud Hall, Room 120, Baton Rouge, LA 70803.
The speaker was Peter Lyu.
Students learned about COMSOL Multiphysics® for their simulation needs. One of COMSOL’s experts was guiding the
conversation and introduced the core functionality of COMSOL Multiphysics as well as its’ capabilities for oil & gas applications.
Students gained an understanding of how COMSOL can be applied to their own application areas, as well as received a free two-week trial of the
software.

K+M technology group seminar
The first meeting for the Spring 2016 semester was on Wednesday, February 24, 2016 at 6pm. The location was Louisiana State University, Tureaud Hall, Room 109, Baton Rouge, LA 70803.
The speaker was Chris Cutts, K&M Operations Manager.
K+M technology group gave a presentation about Extended Reach Architect (ERA) software, fundamentals of torque, drag and buckling in horizontal wells. The software allows engineers to gain a better understanding of the loads, stresses and pressures encountered during the well construction process.
