How much further can we get with subsurface data, as a result of recent computing technology advances?
Following the Energistics' National Data Repositories meeting
There have been many recent advances in computing technology which can manage and visualise larger sets of data much faster.
This promises to help oil companies get a much better understanding of the subsurface, leading to more efficient operations.
This can lead to improved production, improved revenues for the company and the government and more jobs - all without finding a single new reservoir.
There are many geophysical tasks which could be done better if oil companies had all of their subsurface data in a single system.
- Using well log and seismic data together
- calculating seismic attributes to make fluid and lithology preditions
- working with much larger seismic data sets
- adding in non seismic geophysics (gravity, EM) and other seismic techniques (microseismic, passive seismic)
- Improved reservoir modelling using updated well log and seismic data
- Continuous seismic surveys
If all the data was on system, the effort required to update different datasets and move data from one system to another would be much reduced.
How much of this can be achieved?
This is the 3rd conference on subsurface data organised by Finding Petroleum, following successful events in London (Apr 20 2011) and Aberdeen (Mar 13 2012).
EVENT AGENDA
Opening talk - how oil companies can find more oil through more integrated subsurface data
What today's big data technology can do that yesterday's big data technology couldn't do
BREAK
Panels - What can we do now that we couldn't do 5 years ago and where does it get us? How do we start?
database and high performance data management experts; integrative applications experts; visualisation experts; standards experts
LUNCH
In-depth technical presentations
Jerry is President & CEO of Energistics, the upstream industry's open data exchange standards consortium. He is responsible for overall operations, for delivering the adoption and deployment message for the Energistics standards portfolio, for increasing membership value, and for building the global user community. He also serves as the Corporate Treasurer. After the successful rebranding to Energistics in 2006, Jerry was instrumental in building membership from about 60 to the current 112 active corporate members representing a significant portion of the upstream oil and gas industry. He is also the Energistics Executive Sponsor for the National Data Repository Work and facilitates the Energistics Geophysics Special Interest Group.
Jerry's industry experience includes executive operations, business development, project management and pipeline construction assignments in Alaska, Oklahoma, Texas and the UK. He played a key role in the development and adoption of global e-business standards for the oil and gas industry serving as Director of the Standards & Guidelines Committee for the Petroleum Industry Data Exchange Subcommittee (PIDX) of the American Petroleum Institute. He was a founding member of the PIDX Europe Executive Committee and was on the steering committee of the United Nations Standard Products and Services Code (UNSPSC).
Jerry holds an MS degree in science management and a BS degree in natural resources from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks.
Energistics
Energistics is a not for profit organisation to help facilitate information sharing and business process integration in the oil and gas industry. It has 97 members, including all of the oil majors and major oil service companies. It is also manages the WITSML and PRODML data exchange standards for drilling and production, and provides a neutral forum for collaborative learning and sharing.
