Technology and Reducing risk – How Predictive Modeling Can Help You

2015 Fundamentals Education Conference | Risk Reduction for Plays & Prospects Using Quantitative Show | 13 NOV 2015 | Houston, TX

 

The AAPG course on "Risk Reduction for Plays & Prospects Using Quantitative Show" is designed for geologists, geophysicists and engineers wanting to learn more about how to deal quantitatively with oil show data, prediction of height above free water, understanding tools for detecting migration pathways, breached oil fields (residuals), waste zone, by-passed pay and transition zone shows. This course is part of AAPG’s upcoming Fundamentals Education Conference, taking place November 9-13, in Houston, TX.

In this one-day course, "Risk Reduction for Plays & Prospects Using Quantitative Show", a variety of GIS and Petroleum Systems modeling software will be reviewed to demonstrate predictive models of migration and entrapment using seals, potentiometric surfaces and faults to define potential new traps. Methods of quantitatively calibrating test and show data to the migration models will be emphasized. During the course, you will learn the basics of pressure plots emphasizing seal and pressure regressions recognition; how to recognize and differentiate continuous phase, residual, dissolved hydrocarbon and source rock while drilling shows; and also touch on seismic DHIs and focus on new techniques for capturing show data such as fluid inclusion stratigraphy, isotubes, head space gas and cuttings. The course emphasizes using all your tools (seismic, logs, cuttings, fluid inclusions, etc.) to evaluate dry holes, your drilling well or fields to look for the next successful location.
