Details
The topics addressed during the workshop may be of interest for geologists, geophysicists and reservoir engineers dealing with either forward modelling at different scales (from basin to reservoir scale) or more focused reservoir simulations.
Simulation tools and numerical subsurface models have been used for decades in the oil and gas industry or any other industrial activity and all along the life-cycle of a project, from exploration to operation phases and site abandonment. Today the emergence of new activities dealing with fluids production (hydrothermal waters, non-hydrocarbon gases like helium or hydrogen), heat recovery, fluids storage or sequestration (hydrogen, CO2), ground-waters management, require adapting modeling tools and methods jointly for multi-scale and multi-processes solutions with the development of fit-to-purpose calibrations.
During this workshop, the key focus will be on:
– New workflows, tools and methodology put in place
– Identification of geological processes concerned (fluid-rock interactions, microbial activity…)
– Type of calibrations (well-logs, fluids or rocks sampling, geophysics…)
– Vision for tools/methods improvement
Presentations of on-going scientific works and description of application cases are welcome.
