David Bamford - Director - Finding Petroleum
Welcome & Introduction: Session 1 - Kurdistan re-visited
David Bamford is well known around the oil & gas industry both as an explorer and a geophysicist. He holds a Physics degree from the University of Bristol and a Ph.D in Geological Sciences from the University of Birmingham.
Since 2004, he has been a non-executive director at Tullow Oil plc, being recruited for this position especially for his exploration knowledge. He serves on the Nominations and Remuneration Committees, and was chairman of the latter, and Senior Independent Director, for 3 years prior to his retire from the board at the end of April 2014.
He was on the board of Premier Oil from May 2014 to May 2016.
He retired from BP plc in 2003, his last four positions being Chief Geophysicist (1990-1995), Business Unit Leader (General Manager) for first West Africa and then Norway (1995-1999), and finally Head of Exploration until 2003.
He has served on the boards of Paras Ltd, a small exploration and IS/IT consulting company in which he held 22% equity, until its sale to RPS Energy in 2008 and Welltec a/s, a Danish well engineering company, as the nominee of the private equity investor Riverside.
From 2012 to 201 he was on the board of ASX-quoted Australia Oriental Energy as a non-executive director.
He was a founder of Richmond Energy Partners, a small oil & gas research house, and several media companies that focus on the oil & gas sector, and has served as an advisor to Alliance Bernstein, Opus Executive, the Parkmead Group plc, and Kimmeridge Energy LLP. Since retiring from BP, he has undertaken asset and company valuation projects for investment banks, hedge funds and small oil companies.
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 and with an online social network of nearly 10,000 members.

Benoit Vincent - Consultant Geologist - Cambridge Carbonates
Fractured Carbonate Reservoirs A geological point of view
Benoit Vincent is working as a Consultant Geologist with Cambridge Carbonates Ltd for 2009. He obtained a BSc in the University of Grenoble, followed by a MSc and PhD from the University of Burgundy in Dijon (France) in the field of Sedimentary Geology. After a Post-Doctoral position at the French University he joined the Institut Français du Pétrole (IFP, now IFPEN) in Paris between 2002 and 2008 where he was responsible for the petrography and thin section manufacturing labs. Benoit worked on sedimentology, stratigraphy, and diagenesis of carbonates, as well as on the impact of diagenesis on reservoir properties, mainly in the Middle East.
He also participated in projects about CO2 storage and received the DEG (Division of Environmental Geosciences) Best Poster Award at the 2004 AAPG Annual Convention in Dallas. He was employed as expert Geologist in Andra (French National Agency for Radioactive Waste Management) from 2008 to 2009. His main interest is in diagenesis and petrophysics in relationship with sedimentology and stratigraphy, now working all around the world and through the entire Phanerozoic, in carbonate and clastic reservoirs.
Cambridge Carbonates
Cambridge Carbonates Ltd. is a geological consultancy that provides expertise in carbonate and evaporite systems to the oil and gas industry. As well as offering a range of non-proprietary reports for purchase, Cambridge Carbonates deliver bespoke expertise to clients in regional studies, play evaluations and reservoir characterisation projects.

Kes Heffer - - Reservoir Dynamics
Reservoir engineering of fractured systems
Talk Description.
.....from mass balance to dual-porosity simulation
Kes Heffer received an MA in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge in 1970 and an MSc in Petroleum Reservoir Engineering from Imperial College, London in 1971. He worked for BP for 29 years, initially in worldwide operations as a petroleum/reservoir engineer, and latterly in research into issues of reservoir description. Since 1999 he has been an Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Petroleum Engineering at Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh, and has conducted research and consultancy work through Reservoir Dynamics Ltd. His current main research interest is the rôle of geomechanics in the processes of fluid flow in reservoirs, and the degree to which these approach a critical point.
Reservoir Dynamics
Reservoir Dynamics Ltd conducts research and provides consultancy services on the topics of geomechanics, faults and fractures and their influence on fluid flow in oil and gas reservoirs.
Conventionally, a dynamic model of a reservoir refers to the simulation of fluid flow within a static framework of rock (apart from a pore volume compressibility that is usually assumed to be homogeneous, isotropic and unchanging). In contrast, plentiful field evidence from worldwide reservoirs indicates that it is not only the fluid that moves during reservoir operations: the rock is also dynamic with small strains which are heterogeneous, anisotropic and focussed on faults, fractures and other discontinuities; this leads to time-varying properties, including permeability. This influence has been seen in production data whether or not the reservoir was characterised as "naturally fractured". Recognition of the involvement of additional physics in reservoir behaviour can lead to benefit for practical issues of well placements, injectivities, productivities, sweep efficiencies, short-term and longer-term forecasting and reservoir simulator history-matching. The technology is well-suited to mature fields, but lessons can be applied to green fields.

Mike Simmons - Halliburton Technology Fellow for Geosciences - Halliburton
Potential of Stratigraphic Traps in the Middle East
My research interests encompass petroleum exploration workflows, especially integration with sequence stratigraphy; eustasy in the geological record; regional stratigraphy and petroleum geology, specifically the Middle East and Black Sea regions; applied biostratigraphy; and the history and future of geology. My career has spanned both industry and academia, working at BP, Aberdeen and Cambridge Universities, Neftex, and most recently Halliburton, where I am Technology Fellow for Geosciences and Exploration. I have a degree and PhD from the University of Plymouth and am a Visiting Professor at the University of London.
Halliburton
Founded in 1919, Halliburton is one of the world's largest providers of products and services to the energy industry. With nearly 70,000 employees in approximately 80 countries, the company serves the upstream oil and gas industry throughout the lifecycle of the reservoir - from locating hydrocarbons and managing geological data, to drilling and formation evaluation, well construction and completion, and optimizing production through the life of the field.

Katya Krylova - VP sales and marketing - GGS Interica
Modern reprocessing techniques deliver significant seismic data improvement leading to new play concepts offshore Iran
Katerina Krylova is VP sales and marketing with GGS-Interica. Prior to her current position, she was an account manager at Paradigm Geophysical UK (2012-2015) and an EAME Business Development Manager at CGG (2010-2012). Katerina began her career as a seismic reservoir characterization geophysicist at CGG in 2005.
GGS Interica
GGS-Interica is a joint venture company which manages and licenses the Persian Carpet 2000 dataset that GGS acquired during 1999-2005. This data set covers the entire Iranian Persian Gulf offshore and Iranian part of the Oman Sea and comprises approximately 100,000 km of multi-client 2D data, 120 wells and 30,000 km of gravity data, all interpreted and available in Kingdom or Petrel workstation formats.
To ensure a full-scale re-processing of the PC 2000 data and development of new related products, GGS-Interica has secured a non-transferable PC 2000 license.
The joint venture company has started the reprocessing of the entire data in preparation for any offshore Iran bidding.
Early results, using the latest demultiple and broadband processing algorithms, show a great improvement in the data which should assist interpretation, AVO analysis, or seismic inversions.
