Industry Mentoring Workshop #5 – Millennial Leadership!
“Millennials” actually want to be in charge. According to a survey conducted by Work Place Trends, 91% of millennial respondents expressed a desire to lead. Nearly 50% of them also said that they believed leadership is the empowerment of others. From the same survey more than half indicated they believed they had strong leadership skills in the areas of communication and relationship building. However, many also indicated a lack of confidence in industry experience and technical expertise. Perhaps what really stands out is that millennials seem to approach leadership in different ways than previous generations. They also have different expectations of the leaders they work under. For example, the majority…

Unlike their oil counterparts, the optimization of gas fields is a matter of providing the right quantity of the right quality product at the right time. An optimized gas field requires careful planning to ensure production levels that satisfy existing contracts. For this reason, it’s in the operator’s best interest to find efficient ways of extending the production plateau to prolong the life of the field and maximize returns. In this presentation we will see how to utilize optimization algorithms together with advanced reservoir simulation techniques to help us select the most efficient field development strategy and extend the production plateau of a field. Speaker: Andres Bracho, Reservoir Engineer, Rock…

Distinguished Lecture Series - 4D Seismic History Matching SPE WA are proud to present the details of our November technical luncheon; This presentation will show how time-lapse or 4D seismic data can be used as an additional constraint to history match reservoir models in a 4D Seismic History Matching (4D SHM) workflow. 4D seismic provides an independently measured and spatially extensive dataset that complements the field’s production data. It is sensitive to fluid saturation and pressure changes and provides information on the dynamic behavior of the reservoirs. It is also sensitive to the geological properties and informs the geological model too. 4D SHM is the process of developing reservoir models that…

Distinguished Lecture Series - "CO2 in the Subsurface - From EOR to Storage" SPE WA is proud to bring you Gary Teletzke, Senior Technical Advisor for Enhanced Oil Recovery at ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the International Energy Agency (IEA) have issued recent reports suggesting that deployment of carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) can significantly reduce the cost of achieving CO2 emission reduction targets. However, several questions remain: Under what circumstances will large-scale deployment take place? Where and when will this occur? How large a role will CCS play in stabilizing atmospheric concentrations of CO2? I will review the current status of CO2-EOR and…
