Aberdeen
Aberdeen Marriott Hotel
How much can you optimise drilling and wells efficiency by making your corporate information work harder?
Our free conference in Aberdeen on May 8th looks at ways to improve efficiency, reduce non productive time and improve safety, by doing more with the existing information - making it more available, easier to manage and processing it in new ways.
Find out about:
Getting earlier warning about emerging drilling problems and suggestions on what to do, based on a comparison between current drilling operations and drililng operations from your company's history
Corporate communications as a stream of short messages rather than lengthy e-mails and memos
Giving drillers better access to the knowledge of subsurface staff and their models
Getting useful information from drill cuttings faster
Finding out faster if a change to well conditions is a problem
Discussion: can you convince your boss that these tools offer return on investment
Limited places - register now to reserve yours!
Talk Description
DrillEdge technology is a real-time intervention tool that identifies critical drilling problems in advance and helps resolve them through customer-defined best practices. The technology is constructed on the principle of case-based reasoning, a method building on the simple premise that similar problems have similar solutions. This immediate intervention-while-drilling response provides a very thorough, fast and practical real-time bridge between past experience and current operations that reduces risk and non-productive time, while improving drilling performance. |
Odd Erik Gundersen currently is the Development Director at Verdande Technology and has been with the company since 2007. Before joining Verdande Technology, Gundersen taught computer graphics and visualization at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. He has published scientific papers about case-based reasoning, intelligent software agents and physically based animation of fire. Gundersen has a Masters degree in Computer Science from Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

Talk Description
Applying geologic knowledge to drilling operations works best when drilling and subsurface teams share a common understanding. Petrel provides the means to visualize and analyze drilling and subsurface data within a single platform, and allows you to respond quickly to changing conditions for safer and more efficient operations. With Petrel, drilling domain practitioners are empowered to enhance well productivity, boost drilling performance, control drilling risk, and reduce uncertainty. |

Talk Description
Geological information gathered from the drill cuttings samples of a well provides us with an insight of its subsurface strata with a high degree of certainty that sensor measurements simply cannot.
Yet, whereas sensor measurements are nearly instantaneous and can be acquired at the press of a button, geological information relies on human observations and judgments that are only available after the drill cuttings have been retrieved at surface.
Traditionally, the general practice in the industry has been to view morning reports/lithlogs to validate formation tops and other key characteristics of the well being drilled.
Today, in a fast paced drilling operation, geological data finds its use in a variety of real-time workflows such as geo-steering, pore-pressure monitoring, formation evaluation and so on.
We explore the use of WITSML standards to provide geological data and information for automated use by some of these workflows. |

Landmark’s DecisionSpace® InSite® real-time well construction solution enables operators to take control over their real-time data and infrastructure, to design full circle processes from interpretation to well planning to drilling with real-time monitoring systems integrating data back through the workflows for continuous improvement. The open, vendor neutral design provides operators the freedom to work with any service company and across multiple wells while still using a single unified system, creating integration across domains for better collaboration and results in real-time. |
Javier studied a General Degree in Physics and Chemistry at the Orléans University in France in 1996. His first experience in the oil industry was as field engineer trainee in Thailand in 2000. He graduated on Geophysical Engineering at the Simón Bolívar University in Venezuela. He has being working in the North Sea since 2007. He joined Landmark, Halliburton as Drilling Consultant and his current role is Technical Sales Consultant.

Talk Description
A description of a new service delivery option to unlock the value in unconventional plays , using fewer tools than a convention oil or gas well reservoir drilling. Taking data in real time and processing it to ensure the well is placed where it will be most beneficial , and allow maximum recovery of in place reserves. |
Grant graduated with an honours degree in Geology from the University of Edinburgh in 1988. He held a variety of posts from field engineer up to Country Manager with Sperry- Sun between 1990 and 2005.
He then joined the Weatherford UK’s Drilling Services group as UK Operations Manager before taking on the role of North Sea and Sub Sahara Regional Manager. In 2009 he was promoted to Global Business Development Manager for Drilling Services Technology, the position he currently holds. This role has been developed to help increase Weatherford’s profile in the high tech areas of the drilling and formation evaluation marketplace.

Talk Description
DrillScene Advanced Monitoring software from Sekal models key drilling
parameters in real-time, calibrates itself to the physical reality within
the well bore, then uses the modelled drilling parameters along with their
minimum and maximum boundaries of normal well behaviour as a backdrop to
the real-time drilling measurements.
This provides the Drilling Analyst with a unique drilling tool to quickly
identify if changing well conditions are due to normal well behaviour or
if they are the early symptoms of developing drilling problems. The
DrillScene software uses WITS or WITSML format real-time data feeds as the
input data.
