SEG│SPE Advanced Geoscience Workshop: Applications in Drilling and Well Placement

10 – 12 November 2020 | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

 

As the oil and gas industry strives for efficiency and low cost of operations, drilling and well placement require integrated workflows and interpretation of subsurface information such as geophysical, geological, and petrophysical data, reservoir performance data in order to optimize well placement. Subsurface geologic structures are provided by surface geophysical data in terms of depth to target, bed boundaries, fault locations, geologic dip, reservoir quality in terms of porosity and lithology as well as fluid phase and contacts. These are vital information on the planning and preparation for drilling wells. The major challenges we face are; data availability and quality, complex geological scenarios, operational execution and precision of well placement. New technology development such as, 3D deep resistivity inversion, look–ahead reservoir mapping, deep electromagnetic and seismic imaging while drilling, pressure while drilling and real time geomechanics are playing an important role in reducing the risk and optimizing costs. Maximum Reservoir Contact (MRC) wells based on reservoir simulation platform brought new ways of optimum well placement. Industry 4.0 has brought new way of integrating and analyzing digital data including machine learning and artificial intelligence enabling real time decision that is improving efficiency and optimizing cost.

 

This workshop will address such major topics in a collaborative environment encompassing subsurface and drilling activities.

Workshop Format

 

The format of the workshop will feature presentations by invited key experts who will share their experiences. The workshop will provide a unique opportunity for open and extended discussions among the participants.

 

Eight sessions (2 days). We will aim for one keynote speaker per day with a closing session at the end of the workshop to serve as the outlook going forward. The oral presentations are comprised of 20-minute talks followed by 5 minutes of Q&A. After each session, a 30-minute discussion session is planned. The objective of this session is to allow participants to discuss in detail and learn from each other what has worked for them and debate the issues and challenges facing them during their daily workflows. Session chairs will also serve as discussion leaders during the 30 minutes.

 

Poster Presentations are welcome to give ample time to the delegates to discuss the poster topic with the author(s). Posters will be in displayed in the workshop room available for viewing during coffee breaks and afternoon free time following each session.
