Simulation modeling of pre/post bed needs for an Interventional PlatformSIMUL8 Corporation
Architect Frank Zilm discusses how simulation software was used to explore the implementation of an interventional platform concept, integrating surgery, cardiac procedures, interventional radiology and endoscopy services, at Saint Louis University Hospital.
Participants will acquire an understanding of the geological challenges that accompany drilling and how to combat them to
succeed. The course will look at what information is gathered during drilling from wellsite geology, mud logging and
petrophysical (“wireline”) logs, and how it is used. The measurement and prediction of formation pressure are covered in detail, and there are also modules on coring and well testing. The course concludes with an in-depth look at the deep water drilling environment, including recent case histories. Attendees are expected to have an understanding of how petroleum is formed, how it migrates and how it is trapped, and of the principles of rotary drilling and the mud circulation system.
Paper based exercises will be carried out during each module.

Maximise reservoir recovery formation evaluation and reservoir characterisa...Jurgis 'Jogi' Klaudius
With the APA Licencing round launched last year and with the announcement of the 24th licencing rounds expected before summer 2017, numerous new developments are on the horizon, in both mature and new fields in the NCS. With estimates that only around 42 percent of the total expected resources on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS) have been produced, an enhanced understanding of each reservoir is key to unlocking the potential from these fields, and optimising performance across the lifetime.
This event will explore innovative solutions on formation evaluation and reservoir characterisation. Our experts will share their knowledge and global experience through a series of case study presentations, so you can develop and enhance understanding of your reservoir and how to optimise reservoir recovery.
Participants will acquire an understanding of the geological principles employed to find, develop and produce oil and gas reservoirs, the type of data required to build a model of the subsurface, and the different methods used to display
information. The value and limitations of different data sources will be discussed.
Emphasis is placed on the operational and applied aspects of petroleum geology. The course will demonstrate how appropriate use of geological information can
lead to better management decisions and thus improve the value of oil and gas projects.
Experienced Geoscientist with over 7 years of oil and gas industry experience in the exploration, exploitation and development of conventional and unconventional reservoirs seeking career development opportunities. Dedicated team member with experience working on multi-disciplinary projects covering multiple aspects of the petroleum Geology.
