Desciption:

A very effective way to maximize an asset’s value is to make informative and sound economic decisions through utilizing of all available static and dynamic data in a timely manner. This can be accomplished through reducing turnover time of data processing, QC, interpretation, results’ analysis, modeling, and history matching and reservoir performance predictions. In another words, from raw data to information and then to knowledge, an iterative process that is repeated through the acquisition of any new data. This workshop aims to address different ways of inter-disciplinary collaboration and capitalize on cutting edge technology towards achieving live static and dynamic Models.

We encourage participants to bring latest developments in data management, processing, and interpretation, as well as their impact in synchronization of static and dynamic domains. Also, we are looking for ideas to automate repetitive processes and eliminate non-value added steps in the workflow. Our ultimate goal is to build a continuous modeling process that accounts for new data coming from field development activities that feeds into reserve assessment leading to economic decision making in real time.

For those interested in presenting and sharing remarkable projects, ideas, or methodologies, we are working on an abstract submission portal to be available in the coming weeks to receive your proposals.


Some of the Main subjects to address:

  • Identifying major pitfalls and/or bottlenecks in geological modeling and simulation practices.
  • Defining level of Complexity and resolution as a function of the expected result
  • Uncertainty evaluation and removal of subjectivity
  • Current best practices and how can we adjust them to meet our needs?
  • Applications of super computers in 3D Modeling and future directions.
  • Which processes we should automate?
  • Workflows and recommended Practices as data and complexity grow with time
  • 3D Modeling resources prioritizing for maximum business impact
