Nigel Clegg Final Piece of the Puzzle <- download slides Abstract: Optimal well placement requires three-dimensional (3-D) spatial knowledge of the reservoir formation and fluids. Current one-dimensional (1-D) inversions of ultra-deep azimuthal resistivity logging-while-drilling data recover formation boundaries above and below the wellbore only, 1-D modelling, by definition, does not account for any lateral variations.…

Slides available for download here: Artificial Intelligence The Benefits and Dangers of using Artificial Intelligence in Petrophysics Abstract: Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is a method of data analysis that learns from data, identifies patterns and makes predictions with minimal human intervention. Essentially AI solves problems by writing its own software. AI is bringing many benefits…

Haliburton talk on Artificial Intelligence Abstract Knowledge of the lithology of the subsurface is essential for exploring for and developing hydrocarbons. It helps us better understand depositional environments, matrix and fluid compositions, production characteristics, and ultimately exploitation potential. In the subsurface, the interpretation of wireline data plays a critical role in deriving this insight. However,…

Much fun and entertainment, including a sing-off tie breaker at the 2019 AFES Christmas Quiz. Taqa took home the winner’s hampers.
After the original Field Trip was postponed due to poor weather (from 30th May). we managed to re-schedule for a cracking evening on 2nd July – c/w fish & chips after the event! AFES members and fieldtrip participants; please note that unfortunately, due to poor forecasted weather conditions, we have cancelled this fieldtrip. The…

Many thanks Jonas Kaiser from BHGE for his presentation on advanced mud gas analysis techniques, and also our May student presentation from Xanat Zacarias-Hernandez from Aberdeen University, on fracture/matrix fluid exchange dynamics. Abstract: Surface logging technologies such as mud gas analysis are able to provide a fast and cost-effective input for reservoir evaluation. Recent…

Many thanks Girvani Manoharan and Anelechi Ibekwe, our April student speakers from Aberdeen University. Two very interesting and very well received talks, great work! Abstract: The presence of fractures significantly influences the flow of fluids in a reservoir because of the large contrast in transmissibility between the fracture and the matrix. Therefore, more accurate…
