SPE/PESGB Aberdeen February Technical Meeting & Networking Buffet

Aberdeen Douglas Hotel
43-45 Market Street, Aberdeen, AB11 5EL

Wednesday 24 February, 6.30pm to 8.30pm (Registration from 6pm)

With Nicholas McArdle (Geophysicist), Adaeze Iheobi (Reservoir Engineer) and Jason Iyeke (Drilling Engineer) – Introduced by Simone Silcock (Geophysicist), Statoil Production (UK) Limited

In a low oil price environment it is more important than ever to collaborate between disciplines as well as inspire the next generation of geoscientists and engineers.  At this joint technical meeting between SPE Aberdeen and PESGB, three of Statoil’s young professionals will give an overview of how collaboration and the use of new technology in geophysics, reservoir engineering and drilling is adding value to the Mariner project.

A key part of the on-going Mariner work-flow has been the broadband seismic data which has played an important role in drainage optimisation, improving recovery and reducing both cost and risk.

Since Mariner was discovered some thirty years ago, the field has been subject to a number of development studies and concepts by the different operators.  Statoil, and partners JX Nippon and Dyas, were the first to put forward a development concept that addressed the complexities of the field, in particular related to imaging the Heimdal reservoir, reservoir management, recovery rates and project execution.

This is the first joint event between the SPE and PESGB in the SPE Technical Meeting series.  We hope this collaboration, and the involvement of the YP sections of the societies, will inspire some interesting discussions.
