Colin Daly
After completing a degree in maths at Trinity College Dublin, Colin did a PhD at the home of Geostatistics at the Ecole Des Mines in Paris. He joined BP working both on algorithm development and practical reservoir modelling on a wide portfolio of BP’s fields across South and North America, the North Sea and the Middle East. He left BP to join Roxar and after ten years there finally moved to Schlumberger where he led the Reservoir Property Modelling group for the Petrel software. In recent years, he has moved back closer to the R&D world and developed the first algorithm merging concepts from Machine Learning with classical Geostatistics which is just going into commercial delivery.
