Geophysical Reservoir Characterisation (GPH01) Skill


Hydrocarbon reservoirs are described by site specifi c models representing all aspects of geometry, rock and fl uid properties and potential hydrocarbon distribution. Modern reservoir characterisation aims for complete data integration, often with a strong bias on seismic data. Validated information is fi nally stored in a geo-cellular grid which is subsequently adapted for fl ow simulation.To be integrated into the reservoir characterisation workfl ow seismic products need to be understood by reservoir geologists. This course covers the seismic attributes most widely used for reservoir characterisation and demonstrates their application in reservoir modelling.A nearly infi nite number of seismic attributes is technically possible. Not all are useful, some are redundant, and other attributes work in specifi c situations only. Beyond the easy to calculate instantaneous attributes the advanced results from amplitude versus offset and amplitude inversions are discussed. It will be shown how to establish a link to borehole data and how to validate seismic derived information for reservoir characterisation.

Introduction to Seismic Interpretation (GPH02) Foundation


Seismic interpretation makes it possible to extract subsurface geologic information from 2 and 3 dimensional seismic data sets. It is a key enabler of many exploration but also reservoir characterisation activities. This course is designed to provide an introduction to seismic interpretation as it is applied in the industry. The course provides an understanding of the fundamentals of modern seismic acquisition and processing steps needed to prepare seismic interpretation databases. Seismic interpretation techniques in various structural and stratigraphic settings will be discussed, using a large number of examples and hands-on paper interpretation. One focus will be to link seismic information, which is usually in time domain, to the depth domain. Another objective will be to learn about seismic attributes and how to incorporate these in advanced interpretation. Finally, not all seismic features are related to geology, hence a critical task covered will be to distinguish useful data from artefacts.

Mark Deakin Public In-house Public on demand Location Date / Duration Fees

This course will teach you how to evaluate reservoirs and quickly identify fl awed results.Robust reserves and simulation are achieved by the logical, systematic integration of all relevant data. A quality interpretation is extremely cost-effective compared with data acquisition or development mistakes and essential with today’s complex reservoirs and data sets.Integration will often replace the need to run expensive, irrelevant logs, explain apparent data confl icts and provide the correct answer faster, strengthening your position as an operator. By contrast, stand-alone log analysis often results in wrong decisions and weakens your technical position in the eyes of your partners.This course, evolved over 25 years of petrophysical consulting and lectures, demonstrates how robust answers are achieved by the logical integration of diverse data. Integrated Petrophysics was the fi rst public petrophysics integration course (Jan1990) and remains the Benchmark Petrophysics Course today.

Integrated Petrophysics - How to use Special Core Analysis with Modern Logs (PPH31) NEW Skill


This course does more than calibrate your density log with core grain density and porosity. It starts with the essential techniques of core-log integration required to create compatible data sets which are suitable for special core analysis (SCAL) integration. It then goes on to integrate the SCAL lab results with powerful, modern logs to show how these can be more usefully applied to answer key reservoir questions. NMR, Dielectric, Cross Dipole sonic, 3D resistivity, Lithoscanner and MDT are some of the logs whose output is calibrated and welded into the fabric of a true, modern, integrated petrophysical evaluation. Such an evaluation is robust, overdetermined and grounded in routine and special core analysis. All integration techniques are explained in terms of the question being answered (the objective), the physical basis of the core and log data being used and the steps necessary to quantitatively integrate the core with logs and geo-models.Like all the author’s “Integrated Petrophysics” courses a logical, systematic structure is followed which enhances understanding of the where, why and how of modern petrophysical data. Lithology, porosity, saturation, permeability, natural fractures, FWL, TOC and mechanical properties for brittleness and fracturing are addressed, with the pertinent core and log data explained and integrated.

Stuck Pipe, Design and Operational Practices for Avoidance (DRI36) Foundation / Skill


This course addresses the root causes of poor planning and poor operational procedures that lead to stuck pipe situations at the rigsite. The approach to stuck pipe prevention advocated in this course is a ‘holistic’ one where the subject is addressed across disciplines at the planning, execution and evaluation stages of each project. The importance of maintaining focus on the key drivers of stuck pipe during each phase of well construction is highlighted as is the use of techniques and equipment previously only used by the geoscience teams.Whilst the course covers all the areas of potential stuck pipe in well construction operations, the delivery of it is focused on ensuring that the greatest impact can be delivered both in the planning stages and at the rigsite. The time weighting of each subject area and each stuck pipe mechanism is based on the industry stuck pipe statistics to ensure that the maximum value is delivered.

Layer of Protection Analysis - LOPA (HSE06) Advanced


Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) is an analytical procedure which uses the outputs from Hazard Identifi cation methods such as Hazard and Operability Study to quantitatively estimate the frequency of an identifi ed consequence occurring. The occurrence of the consequence is assessed and a ‘tolerable’ frequency target is assigned. The more severe the identifi ed consequence is, the lower the target frequency needs to be. The technique takes account of the effect of the initiating events which could be control system or equipment failure or human error all the way through ‘modifi ers’ such as time at risk to protective barriers such as alarms and trips. The outcome indicates if the target tolerable frequency is achieved and if not, what further risk reduction is required. LOPA is one of the most popular risk assessment methods described in the International Electrotechnical Commission standard IEC 61511.

Petroleum Business ManagementIntroduction to Petroleum Economics (PBM21) Foundation


Oil and gas companies compete for resources and reserves around the globe. In recent years new technologies have changed the global picture in the oil and gas industry and the frontiers of exploration are continuously driven to harsher and/or more environmentally sensitive areas.Beside - or better because of - these technical challenges it is crucially important to keep project and company economics under control. What good is the best technological improvement, if the costs to apply these technologies cannot be recovered? In this course participants get introduced to the whole world of Petroleum Economics. The content spans from questions like: Why are the economics in the upstream industry different from those in other industries? Do I understand the whole value chain in my project? How do I deal with risks and uncertainties? What is my project NPV, EMV? Will the recent tax change kill my project?

Managing Data Rooms for Quick-look Asset Appraisal (PBM05) Skill

Bob Harrison Public In-house Public on demand Location Date / Duration Fees

Whenever a company is involved in divesting or acquiring oil and gas assets, whether they are exploration ventures, appraisal opportunities or fi eld developments, it is almost certain that a data room will be involved. Setting up a data room requires as much forethought and planning as attending one. If the attention to detail is lacking, from either the seller or the buyer, then the data room will not achieve its objective and the potential deal may not only be delayed, it may not occur at all.What elements are required to set up a successful data room? What data are essential and what data are nice to have? Who should go to a data room? What should be done before, during and after the data room? How quickly can an adequate evaluation be done? The objective is to introduce the participants to frameworks and workfl ows that streamline the data room process, to gather the essential data, and to rapidly assess the opportunity while avoiding the trapdoors inherent in any oil and gas evaluation. The course participants will fi nd the ideas and methods both interesting and worthwhile - allowing them to do better deals quicker and to (hopefully) avoid doing poorer deals.

Turnaround Management (MAN42) Advanced


According to the Standish Group, in 2016 one third of all projects were in trouble and another third was considered as failed. The primary reason for this is the growing complexity of projects, which must be processed in an environment of increasingly chaotic markets. Most projects experience a great deal of process changes. ERP projects - for example - can change entire organisations and are therefore almost predestined to mutate into crisis projects. This course deals with a proven model, that includes the analysis of the current status (“as - is”) of projects and then leads over to possibilities to stabilise such projects.This course also covers classical success and failure factors of projects and guides participants to avoid such problems.
