FORCE SEMINAR 23 - 24TH OF OCTOBER 2002 - "New opportunities for monitoring the dynamic processes in the reservoir"

FORCE  (Forum for Reservoir Characterisation, Reservoir Engineering and Exploration Technology Co-operation) invites you to our seminar "New opportunities for monitoring the dynamic processes in the reservoir", October 23rd and 24th, 2002 at the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate, Stavanger.  

The Advanced Well Technical Committee (AWTC) is arranging this seminar with cooperation from the groups:  Recovery Processes and Seismic Methods. 

The development in logging tools, permanently installed sensors, seismic methods and the use of real time data has been substantial during the last years. A cross-disciplinary focus on both new data types and increasing volume of these data types are key issues in the future. In order to fully utilise the opportunities provided by new datasets, the industry has to be on the edge to make better pictures of the dynamic processes in the reservoir. The completion and production engineers have to understand the value of the logging surveys and the permanently installed equipment used in future wells. The geologists have to see their essential datasets as time lap seismic in connection with all the other datasets collected from a wide variety of data sources. The reservoir engineers have to face the challenge of understanding the dynamic processes in the reservoir and to model this complex subsurface architecture based on more detailed datasets. We will all need to establish better work processes in order to maintain high quality petroleum engineering work in the future. 

The seminar will focus on the new possibilities for monitoring the dynamic processes in the reservoir. The following main issues are treated: 

1.       Imaging techniques / focus on the area between the wells.
·           Future potential and expectations (Next 2 yr)
(i.e. Seismic (2D and 3D time lap, in-well, active and passive), electromagnetic, resistivity, etc) 

2.       Non-imaging techniques / focus on the well area.
·           Future potential and expectations (Next 2 yr)
(i.e. DTS, DPS, temperature, pressure, rate, tracers, water chemistry measurements, fluid composition logs, etc) 

3.       Right or real time data integration
·           “Data integration and visualisation in the context of monitoring the dynamic processes in the reservoir”
·           Future potential and expectations (Next 2 yr) 

I addition we will have a session on field and well cases on day two. Both Operators and Vendors are invited to join the seminar both days.

The members of the committee are: Øystein Tesaker (Statoil),  Rolf van Kleef (Shell), Sigurd M. Erlandsen
(Norsk Hydro), Phillip Keül (TotalFinaElf), Tom Tinholt (DNO), Arild Haugen (NPD), Karen Olsen (BP), Odd Arve Solheim (Statoil) and
Jon Hognestad (Norske Shell).
