Message From the Chairperson
Dear Colleague,
Welcome to the 2015 SPE Canada Heavy Oil Technical Conference, the premier heavy oil
engineering event in the world. Thank you for your attendance at this year’s conference and a
special thanks to the keynote speakers, panelists, and paper presenters for their contributions
to what will be a timely and rewarding program.
Collaboration, networking, and technology are pillars of SPE, and they are the keys to reducing
the barriers to development and economic activity in the heavy oil and bitumen industry.
Please capitalize on the opportunity presented by this conference and the accompanying
Global Petroleum Show to interact with some of the very best in the industry.
www.spe.org/events/choc
This year’s event is themed “Barrels of Knowledge,” tying the philosophy of communication,
knowledge, and collaboration to increased productivity. Our intent for the paper sessions is
to provide practical knowledge, results, and understanding for the practicing engineer based
on actual tests and projects that can be quickly used in this manner. Additionally, our panel
on collaboration is geared toward providing understanding and perspective on the best ways
to work together in the future. The broad experiences and diversity of perspective are sure
to stimulate interesting discussion. Our panel of SPE executives is a new addition to the
conference. They have been engaged to outline the efforts that SPE is making locally and
internationally to promote petroleum engineering—the knowledge and the collaboration.
They have also come to hear your ideas for a better SPE.
The organizing committee looks forward to hosting you for the 2015 SPE Canada
Heavy Oil Technical Conference. We are confident this event will be an enjoyable and
worthwhile experience.
Sincerely,
Cal Coulter

Keynote Presentation: Innovation
and Heavy Oil—The Future is Small
Steven Bryant
Canada Excellence Research
Chair in Energy at the
University of Calgary
Steven Bryant joined the University of
Calgary as the Canada Excellence Research
Chair (CERC) in Materials Engineering
for Unconventional Oil Reservoirs and
professor in the Department of Chemical
and Petroleum Engineering in the
Schulich School of Engineering. He is the
university’s first CERC and came here after
the university was granted a “hunting
licence” to scour the globe for an energy
researcher who would complete an already
robust team of heavy oil and oil sands
researchers. Bryant will lead and coordinate
nanotechnology and materials science
research at the University of Calgary, and
the integrated team of researchers from
across campus who will aim to drastically
change how oil sands are developed.

Panel Discussion: Collaboration in a Changing, Challenging E&P Market
Collaboration, networking, and technology are pillars of SPE and they are the keys
to reducing the barriers to development and economic activity. It’s a known fact that
collaboration accelerates projects, enhances production, and spurs company growth.
But with oil prices now hovering around CAD 50 per barrel and capital budgets being
slashed, companies have shifted their focus and activities. More than ever, collaboration
between companies is needed. This panel will discuss some of the challenges faced when
collaborating and enhance understanding of how to become a better collaborator to prove
your value to your employer.

Young Professionals Workshop:
Market Conditions and Business Decisions
Wednesday, 10 June | 1330–1700 | Mustang Room
Sponsored by:
T Conference participants and young professionals are encouraged to attend
this workshop to discuss the challenges of functioning in highly variable market
conditions and to learn about strategies for evaluating asset plays and developing
effective business plans.
Keynote Speaker: Chris Seasons
Chris Seasons is a professional engineer with more than 30 years of domestic and
international experience in the upstream oil and gas industry. From 2004 until his
retirement in June 2014, he served as President of Devon Canada. Devon Canada
produced approximately 200,000 barrels a day, with the production mix shifting
from a gas-dominated asset base to an exclusively heavy oil company during his
tenure. Before Devon, Seasons also worked with Northstar Energy, Shell Canada,
and Toro Oil & Gas in a variety of technical and managerial positions.
www.spe.org/events/choc
Working in teams, young professionals will be provided with a portfolio of
different assets based on real resource plays, and will be challenged to create
a development plan that considers the current and changing market conditions.
Professional mentors with experience in oil and gas business planning will
circulate between groups to provide support and feedback, and will evaluate
the business case presentations.
Who Should Attend: The SPE Young Professional is any professional in any
technical discipline aged 35 or under who currently works in the energy sector.
Engineers, geoscientists, business professionals, finance professionals, landmen,
and technologists are all encouraged to attend. Tickets cost CAD 15 for SPE members
and CAD 20 for nonmembers
