How can you tell the difference between a ‘good’ reservoir model and a ‘bad’ one? \nReservoir and simulation modelling capability has become a mainstream activity in petroleum engineering yet the models themselves often tend to disappoint.  Crucially\, models and forecasts tend to be optimistic. \nThis talk draws on experiences accumulated over the last 25 years from working with international and national oil companies\, and draws out common themes – reasons why some modelling and simulation outcomes are ‘good’\, and others are ‘bad’. The over-riding theme is model design\, and it will be argued that many of the errors in modelling are made before anyone logs on.  It’s not the capability of the software\, it’s the design choices made. \nThe following design issues will be identified and optimal approaches recommended\, concerning: \n\nmodel purpose\, and the balance of simplicity vs. complexity in modelling\nimperfect data and concept-based modelling – “if you can sketch it\, you can model it”\ntaking a fluid-centric view of the need for detail: reservoir modelling\, rather than\ngeological modelling;\nthe scale transition\, searching for the ‘lost heterogeneity’\n\nThe points above will be illustrated with a case study from a mature oil field undergoing waterflood\, in which a decision on infill drilling needed to be made. \nAbout the Speaker – Mark Bentley\nMark has been in the industry since 1986\, initially as a production geologist with Shell where he first started learning about reservoir modelling.  He has spent the subsequent 22 years training and consulting around the world with colleagues at TRACS.  His specialist technical fields are reservoir modelling and scenario-based approaches to handling uncertainty. \nMark is a frequent contributor at conferences and co-author of the textbook ‘Reservoir Model Design’. In 2018 he took up the Chair in Mature Field Management at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. \nAbout the Event\nPrice:             Early Bird SPE Member          $30 \n                       Early Bird Non-Member          $50 \n                       SPE Member                          $40\n                       Non-Member                          $60 \nDate:              Thursday\, 28th April 2022 \nLocation:       Parmelia Hilton Hotel\nLocation:       14 Mill Street\, Perth WA 6000 \nTime:             11:45 am – 12:15 pm Registration with Networking & Food.\nTime:             12:15 pm – 12:20 pm SPE WA Opening Marks.\nTime:             12:20 pm – 12:55 pm Presentation.\nTime:             12:55 pm – 13:00 pm Q&A Session.\nTime:             13:00 pm – 13:15 pm Closing with Networking. \nPlease notice the tickets sale is limited and be hurry to lock in your ticket.
