Structural Geomodeling Workflow Seminar

Venue:Norwegian Petroleum Directorate

Stavanger, May 26 and 27, 2003

The Structural Geology group of FORCE is pleased to announce a Structural Geomodeling Seminar in Stavanger on May 26 and 27.  

Background:
A number of software packages are available on the market to help solve most of the tasks structural geologists are challenged with, but the main limitations in our workflow lie in the integration between the different packages, the inability of the packages to address some key risks and the time it takes to complete the task. The SG group would like to use this opportunity to identify gaps in structural modeling tasks that are presently not covered by vendors. 

The seminar:
The seminar will be split up in two sessions, where day one will focus on exploration and day two on production related topics. Each participating vendor company will get 20 minutes to present their workflow to resolve the tasks. After each presentation 10 minutes will be set aside for questions and feedback. We hope to initiate a discussion of what is missing, problems we may have with their software, and what we would like to see in near future releases. 

The software vendors will be challenged on the following key structural geology tasks: 

• Fault seal
• Structural restoration
• Basin modeling and heatflow
• Structural framework
• Structural uncertainty                         
• Fractured reservoir modeling
• Dynamic interface

It will also be possible to perform software demonstrations and poster presentations.
