Stavanger
Norwegian Petroleum Museum

This free half day conference at the Norwegian Petroleum Museum, Stavanger, covers recent developments in reservoir monitoring technology, including in well fibre optics, wireless seismic receivers on land and seabed, permanent fibre seismic recordong in the seabed, and assessing rock property changes during production.

This event should be useful for geophysicists, geologists, petrophysicists, reservoir engineers, well integrity managers and production engineers. Produced and chaired by David Bamford, a past head of geophysics at BP and head of BP Norway.

Attend this conference to get up to speed with the most interesting recent developments. Limited places - register now to secure yours.

Topics include

Advances in what you can do with in-well fibre optics (understand flow, spot leaks);

Using wireless seismic receivers ("nodes") on both seabed and land,

Permanent fibre seismic recording on the seabed with reduced costs,

Understanding how rock properties are changing as the reservoir is produced.

Agenda

 
9:30 David Bamford - Director
Finding Petroleum
Welcome & Introduction


David Bamford is 63. He is a non-executive director at Tullow Oil plc and has various roles with Parkmead Group plc, PARAS Ltd and New Eyes Exploration Ltd, and runs his own consultancy. He writes regular articles for OilVoice and ROGTEC and is a co-founder of Finding Petroleum.

He retired from BP in 2003, after a 23 year career spent initially in research & technology, then the geophysics function, business unit leadership, and finally BP's global exploration programme.

Finding Petroleum
Finding Petroleum was established to help the oil and gas industry network, and stay up to date on the latest technological developments. It does this via hosting regular events, distributing their colour magazine - Digital Energy Journal, and with an online social network of nearly 700 members.

Fairfield Nodal
Permanent Monitoring - do it with nodes!


FairfieldNodal is a private, fully integrated geophysical service provider with a 30-year history of performance and innovation. Today, the company is leading the industry in nodal seismic technology, offering a full spectrum of products and services, from systems and acquisition to non-exclusive data licensing, imaging and visualization.

FairfieldNodal designs and manufactures the industry's only true cable-free ZNodal systems for land and marine applications. Compact, lightweight ZLand® systems require much smaller recording crews, affording greater productivity and HSE performance, even in the most challenging terrain. ZMarine systems, also completely self-contained, go where conventional systems can't, improving speed and productivity while capturing superior 3D data at any marine depth.

FairfieldNodal provides acquisition systems and services in some of the world's most challenging environments. Crews operate a purpose-built, technologically advanced fleet, currently deployed in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, the North Sea and Alaska.

The company's ZNodal imaging delivers unsurpassed accuracy in the imaging of complex geology, combining patented calibration technology with the full range of algorithms, including Kirchhoff, beam, common azimuth, wave-equation and reverse-time migration.

ZNodal processing allows for cost-effective prestack time and depth-migration services on large-scale projects by applying advanced networking and workstation clustering technology. With ZNodal licensing, the company markets and licenses non-exclusive 3D data from a continually expanding database, the industry's premier library covering the Gulf of Mexico shelf.

FairfieldNodal handles manufacturing and data processing from its headquarters in Sugar Land, Texas, with additional data processing centers located in Denver, Colorado; Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; and Jakarta, Indonesia. FairfieldNodal operates sales and support offices in New Orleans, Louisiana; London, England; and Beijing, PRC.
