Full Agenda
Wednesday, October 11, 2017
London
The Geological Society
On October 11th we'll take a look at updates in non-seismic geophysics technology, looking in particular at electromagnetics, in-well fibre optic, and ways to integrate the data together and get value from it.
The event will include an afternoon workshop, free for all delegates, with updates on electromagnetic technology in oil and gas, sponsored and led by EMGS, one of the world's leading electromagnetics companies.
This event follows our:

Talk Description
Oil companies constantly seek to improve the exploration well performance by obtaining a more reliable prediction on prospect risk and volume.
It is well documented that there often is a large mismatch between the predicted resource volume and the actual outcome. EMGS’ Exploration Solution, which integrates CSEM data into the exploration evaluation workflow, improves the prediction performance. Seismic data provides good structural and geometrical control.
Therefore, we often see accurate evaluations on reservoir and trap chance factors. However, the charge and seal properties, which directly links to the presence of hydrocarbons in the reservoir, often has a large uncertainty if using seismic data only. Recoverable volume estimations are hardly ever correct, especially due to the high uncertainty related to the net reservoir area and thickness.
CSEM data provides a resistivity image of the subsurface, where resistivity is sensitive to the reservoir hydrocarbon saturation. Integrating CSEM data will therefore improve the risk assessment on charge and seal, and limit the recoverable volume distribution uncertainty due to its natural sensitivity to net pay area and thickness.
We will here demonstrate such results by comparing our pre-drill predictions and post well evaluations of wells drilled during 2017.

Daniel Baltar is the Global Exploration Advisor for EMGS ASA.
Is responsible for the integration of CSEM measurements in existing workflows and business models. Previously he founded Cycle Petroleum and was its exploration director from 2018 to 2021. He has had a lead role in the integration of EM data into the exploration workflow, starting with Pemex's campaign in the deep-water Gulf of Mexico, the largest CSEM acquisition in the history of the technology. Furthermore he has developed and published some of the key integration algorithms and workflows bridging exploration performance, play and prospect evaluation, and resistivity rock physics analysis. Also Daniel has worked as an explorationist and seismic QI in many different basins and depositional environments. Also, he has experience in digitalization, pore pressure prediction and shallow hazard analysis. He holds an MSc in Hydrocarbon Exploration and Production form ISE/Heriot-Watt and a degree in Physics.

Talk Description
- Why many geophysicists now accept that quality of seismic data recorded on fibre optics in wells is equivalent to that of geophones
- The impact of fibre technology on conventional seismic
- Case studies of where fibre is used in carbon sequestrtation, microseismic and hydraulic projects – also inter-well pressure connectivity

Talk Description
- using a range of different data types can reduce model ambiguity
- seismically focussed exploration strategies may be too short sighted in some cases - due to limited representation of the range of geoscientific model parameters, and high survey and processing costs
- many exploration methods are used widely by the mineral exploration industry but not by the oil and gas industry |
Markus H. Krieger is Co-Founder and Managing Director of TERRASYS Geophysics and holds an MSc in Geophysics from Hamburg University.
Due to his background in applied geophysics he moved the company to become a service provider for the oil & gas industry, focusing on integrated interpretation from a non-seismic perspective. Always striving to facilitate the most advanced solutions to TERRASYS’ clients, he kept good connections to the scientific community and established a strategic R&D culture at the company with a highly motivated team of geoscientists.
Markus still sees a large demand for developing adequate interpretation tools for a multi-physics approach in order to address increasingly complex geological scenarios. He is always interested in discussing and implementing fresh ideas for a better understanding of the subsurface.
Markus is member of AAPG, AGU, ASEG, BDG, DGG, DGMK, EAGE, EGU, HGS, IAMG, PESGB and SEG.

Talk Description
- How do we encourage the industry to take more interest in non conventional geophysics?
- Do we need a more creative and curious working atmosphere, and how can we get there?
- Is the answer to encourage people to take a more ‘portfolio’ approach to reservoirs, using all available data to get the best possible picture of how reservoirs are being produced?

Talk Description
Reservoir description by using CSEM data
EMGS and/or its clients will present pilot projects where CSEM data is used for near-field exploration and appraisal decisions. What information does CSEM data carry of reservoir quality? What can you say about the water-oil contact? How can you effectively map your resource potential within a license at a very early stage? |
