Resume

• Introduction to FORCE by Jens-Ole
• Discussions about our role in FORCE. What can SG benefit from this group
• Decide on keeping regular meetings, seminars and workshops
• Propose SG related research projects. Make sure to keep updated on the status for the different projects and help commercialize the outcome to make sure we will benefit from the results.
• By linking UK and Norway projects there will be an increased chance of commercialization
• Fresco committee meeting on 18th June (postponed). The committee keep updated on status of the different projects which FORCE are contributing to.
• Force website at www.force.org 
• Budget discussion. For seminars and external speakers and dinners we are dependent on sponsors (i.e. oil companies).
• Discussion of SG SING seminars, workshop and presentations
• First SG SING workshop the 22^nd October – “Polygonal Faulting & Sand Remobilization”
• Have another SG SING meeting short time after this (time to be set soon) to discuss experiences we drew from the seminar and future plans. We will then have an agenda to follow on the meeting…

Tasks for the FORCE Structural Geology SING

• Suggest to the Fresco committee any research project the SG SING will be interested in generating and following up (identifying tech gaps)
• Get an overview of what SG related research projects are out there
• Linking UK – Norway projects – stretching the corporate research budget.
• Determine what makes a big difference to SG in Norway
• Keeping seminars, workshop and technical presentations on a regular basis.
• Keep updated on what software is available for SG

Suggestions for technical presentations, workshop and se minars

Polygonal fault and sand remobilization seminar
Much work done and many ideas in the different companies. Mature to bring forward in a workshop/seminar. Coming up in October – see below

Workshop on Geo-modeling and Structural Geology
Address that SG is underrepresented in the development of geo-modeling tools.

Invite software developers and challenge them to solve workflows incorporating SG into reservoir models. A key issue is to improve the speed with which models can be built and rebuilt.

Candidates -
Roxar (RMS)
Norsk Regnesentral (Havana project with RMS linkage)
T-surf  (Gocad)
Dynamic Graphics (Earthvision)
Technoguide (Petrel) 

Develop workflow to incorporate SG into seismic interpretation and reservoir modeling on an early stage.
Address the fact that different tools work differently. Which tools are most suitable for various tasks?

Sub-Seismic fault modeling
Recognize the dependence of models on seismic imaged faults.

Development of geomechanical modeling techniques as a predictive tool.

Upscaling issues.
Analogues.
Resources: RDR

Fault transmissibility
Transgen, Faps, Gocad, RDR database. 

Structural restoration techniques

2D - 3D restorations
Paleobathymetric restorations
Sediment dispersal models            
Organic facies modeling

Tool to use

BMT by Rogaland forskning
Nmove from Midland Valley            
Flex Stretch from Badleys            
Locace from IFP 

Sand Remobilization and Polygonal Faulting
