Dedicated Sessions
Dedicated sessions will be offered to complement the technical programme, adding to its depth and variety. The topics of the dedicated sessions are special and might otherwise not get the same representation in the technical programme.
The call for abstracts to submit an extended abstract for the dedicated sessions is open to invited speakers only.
| Topic number | Dedicated Session |
| 8-02 | Key Innovations and Potential Game Changers Dr Walter Rietveld (BP) Dr Roald van Borselen (Aramco Overseas Co BV) Selected developments that have large potential or that are changing the industry in the way we work. |
| 8-03 | Best of Petroleum Geoscience Prof. Phil Ringrose (Equinor) Prof. Dr Sebastian Geiger (Heriot-Watt University) This session profiles selected papers in Petroleum Geoscience (the international journal of geoenergy and applied earth science). It is an ideal session to get an overview of the latest developments in applied geoscience – including topics in exploration and development of sub-surface hydrocarbon resources, carbon storage and geoenergy applications. |
| 8-05 |
Getting inside the Reservoir Dr Caroline J. Lowrey (Spirit Energy) Dr Gary Aillud (RPS Group) This session seeks to illustrate the importance of understanding poroperm systems within reservoirs in order to effectively assess volume distributions and production potential. Both clastic and carbonate reservoirs will be included with ‘real life’ examples of variation in reservoir quality, controls on those variations, integration of reservoir quality into reservoir modelling and more. |
| 8-06 |
Induced Seismicity Dr Bouko Vogelaar (TNO) Mr Sander Osinga (TNO) This dedicated session covers both science and consequences of seismicity induced from different geo-energy perspectives: from understanding its occurrence to anticipating public concern about the potential risk to our society, and the interim steps toward best practice with regard to energy development by pumping fluids into or out of the Earth. |
| 8-08 |
Depositional Processes and Stratigraphic Modelling Dr Michael Peter Suess (Wintershall DEA Holding GmbH) |
| 8-09 |
Modified Salinity Water Flooding in Carbonate Reservoirs Dr Karen Louise Feilberg (DTU) Dr Hamid Nick (DTU/DHRTC) Dr Ali Eftekhari (DTU/DHRTC) This dedicated session will attract researchers/engineers to share their view on the identification and mathematical modelling of the modified-brine water-flooding mechanisms at both small and large scales. |
| 8-10 |
Energy Recovery from Fractured Reservoirs: Computational Challenges, Experimental Achievements and Field Applications Dr Hamid Nick (DTU/DHRTC) Prof. Dr Hadi Hajibeygi (TU Delft) Prof. David Bruhn (GFZ) This dedicated session addresses experimentally and/or numerically oriented advances in fractured reservoir dynamic modelling and simulations. We request contributions on all aspects of oil, gas and heat production from the fractured formations, including (but not limited to): reservoir simulations, Thermal-Hydrological-Mechanical-Chemical studies, and field studies. |
| 8-11 |
Petroleum Systems of NW Europe Dr Jean Jacques Biteau (retired from Total) Dr Axel A.O. Wenke (Equinor) These sessions aim at recalling the main characteristics and components of the Jurassic Petroleum Systems as well as defining the pre- and post-Jurassic marginal occurrences in NW Europe, mainly the North Sea and the North East Atlantic Margin including the Rockall Basin, the Faroe-Shetland basin, the Norwegian Sea, and the Barents Sea petroleum provinces. |
| 8-13 |
Energy Transitions Endeavor: Successful Projects, Plans, and Creative Ideas to Move Forward (previously "Decarbonization and the Energy Transition") Ms Ingrid Paola Tello Guerrero (ALS) Mr Benjamin Bellwald (VBPR) Our dedicated session focuses on real actions contributing to a carbon footprint reduction throughout different geoscientific activities, including CCUS, geothermal and new technologies. The session brings together key speakers from universities, service companies, governments and authorities, sharing knowledge of the strategies used and lessons learned. |
| 8-14 | Low Frequency Seismic Data Acquisition and its Impact on Imaging and Inversion Dr Fons Ten Kroode (Shell) Dr Guido Baeten (Shell) Part 1 - Hardware Part 2 - Applications and Way Forward We will discuss the acquisition and resulting processing benefits of increased low-frequency energy and will place special emphasis on quantifying the lowest frequency of interest and the corresponding S/N level that must be generated during seismic acquisition to reap these benefits in imaging and inversion. |
