SUMMARY:Methane Emissions: Our Obligation and Our Opportunity in the Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:SPE WA is proud to present the details of the August 2022 SPE Distinguished Lecturer Webinar. \n\nAbout the Presentation\nThe world has entered an energy transition where the future role of energy sources will depend partially on their greenhouse gas footprint.  While that transition is expected to take a generation\, some changes will occur quickly.  One of the fastest ways to combat climate change is to reduce emissions of methane\, not carbon dioxide.  Methane is the main component of natural gas and a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.  The oil and gas industry handles a large quantity of methane\, and a small amount of that methane leaks to the atmosphere.  Because methane is such a potent greenhouse gas\, those emissions are small in volume but large in environmental impact: methane is the dominant source of our industry’s direct greenhouse gas emissions\, above other sources like flaring.  This lecture describes the main sources of methane emissions\, the market and political drivers to reduce methane emissions\, and the new technologies being developed to find and fix methane leaks. \n\nAbout the Speaker – Drew Pomerantz\nAndrew (Drew) E. Pomerantz is an Energy Transition Technology Advisor at Schlumberger\, based in Boston\, Massachusetts.  He focuses on new technologies that reduce direct greenhouse gas emissions from the upstream and midstream oil and gas industry\, particularly novel methods to detect fugitive methane emissions.  Drew graduated from Stanford University with a PhD in chemistry in 2005 and has co-authored 100 peer-reviewed publications and 25 granted US patents.  He founded the Boston chapter of the Society of Petrophysicists and Well Log Analysts (SPWLA). \n\nWebinar registration:\nPlease REGISTER HERE via the SPE Distinguished Lecture link below. \n

SUMMARY:A Survival Guide for Digital Transformation
DESCRIPTION:Society of Petroleum Engineers Western Australia is proud to present the details of our July SPE Distinguished Lecturer Technical Evening Meeting. \nAbout the Presentation\nWhen organizations everywhere are racing to embrace Digital Transformation\, it is easy to get excited about the claimed possibilities and to overlook the fundamentals.  It is also unclear what this will mean for most of us\, our organizations and employment prospects.  Hence it is reasonable to ponder and assess our readiness for these changes and the opportunities they may bring. \nDigital Transformation arguably began a long time ago.  It was in the late 1980s that just about everyone in the oil and gas industry started using computers.  These were first introduced as “productivity tools” in support of conventional work.  With the benefit of experience and technological progress\, organizations have evolved new workflows.  Today\, Information Technology projects are increasingly seen as corporate gamechangers. \nIn this lecture\, an experienced geoscientist offers his take on what Digital Transformation may mean\, and suggests how to prepare to ride the wave and succeed.  Specific topics will include the need for a reliable data inventory\, pre-requisites for the integration of multiple data sets and for the rigorous quantification of uncertainty.  All these can be implemented without disruption\, at low incremental cost and great potential value to all parties. \nThe main takeaway point is that regardless of what Digital Transformation turns out to be\, some actions should be taken now rather than later to ready the organization.  These actions all revolve around the systematic consolidation of specific data fundamentals.  In the process\, the people involved will also become better prepared and more valuable to their organization. \nAbout the Speaker – Martin Storey\nMartin Storey is an independent practising Petrophysicist with over three decades of international experience combining field operations and the acquisition\, integrated exploitation and management of well data.  He consults and delivers training programs in these areas.  He is a long-active member of the SPE and other associations including the Society of Petrophysicists and Well Log Analysts (SPWLA) and the Professional Petroleum Data Management Association (PPDM).  He was an SPWLA Distinguished Lecturer in 2019 and 2020\, and received that society’s Distinguished Service Award in 2020. He has a BSc in Mathematics and Computer Science from Stanford University\, and an MSc in Electrical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology. \nAbout the Event\nPrice:             Early Bird SPE Member          $40 <Until the 22 July 2022>\n                       Early Bird Non-Member          $60 <Until the 22 July 2022>\n                       SPE Member                          $50\n                       Non-Member                          $70 \nDate:              Thursday\, 28 July 2022 \nLocation:       Parmelia Hilton Hotel\nLocation:       14 Mill Street\, Perth WA 6000 \nTime:             16:45 am – 17:00 pm Registration & Networking.\nTime:             17:00 pm – 17:10 pm SPE WA Opening Marks.\nTime:             17:10 pm – 17:45 pm Presentation.\nTime:             17:45 pm – 18:00 pm Q&A Session.\nTime:             18:00 pm – 19:30 pm Closing with Networking drinks & Nibbles. \nPlease notice the tickets sale is limited and be hurry to lock in your ticket.

SUMMARY:Making Better Upstream Acquisitions: The Role of the Petroleum Engineer and Why its Different From the Day Job
DESCRIPTION:Society of Petroleum Engineers Western Australia is proud to present the details of our June SPE Distinguished Lecturer Technical Evening Meeting. \nAbout the Presentation\nGlobal upstream transactions are estimated at nearly $200 bn in 2021. Production/cost forecasts and assessment of future opportunities/risks are crucial inputs to the economic evaluation of a potential acquisition. It follows that potential buyers need to conduct technical due diligence on these inputs. In times of volatile oil and gas prices\, good technical due diligence can be the difference between a good and a bad deal. \nPetroleum engineers are often called upon to join acquisition teams. With typically a few days/weeks of evaluation time\, technical due diligence requires considerable focus and a fundamentally different approach to the typical industry workflow. Yet\, there are no industry courses on this subject and a OnePetro search reveals the last paper was 30 years ago. \nThis talk highlights how a Petroleum Engineer should approach working in an upstream acquisitions team and illustrates practical methods for conducting technical due diligence. A ‘top down’ process that starts with identifying what drives value is proposed. Several case studies are presented showing how good technical due diligence has had a fundamental impact on acquisition decisions. \nThe key messages are that technical due diligence requires a very different approach from the Petroleum Engineer’s ‘day job’ and that it pays. \nAbout the Speaker – Geoff Salter\nGeoff Salter is a Partner at RISC Advisory specializing in Reservoir Engineering. He holds an MSc in Petroleum Engineering. His early industry experience was focused on field development and production operations with major operators Shell and Woodside. During his 25 years at RISC Advisory based in London or Perth\, he has led technical due diligence teams on oil and gas acquisition opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region\, Europe\, Middle East and Africa. He has travelled extensively throughout these regions\, presented at industry conferences and participated in SPE ATWs. \nAbout the Event\nPrice:             Early Bird SPE Member          $40 <Until the 17 June 2022>\n                       Early Bird Non-Member          $60 <Until the 17 June 2022>\n                       SPE Member                          $50\n                       Non-Member                          $70 \nDate:              Tuesday\, 21 June 2022 \nLocation:       Parmelia Hilton Hotel\nLocation:       14 Mill Street\, Perth WA 6000 \nTime:             16:45 am – 17:00 pm Registration & Networking.\nTime:             17:00 pm – 17:10 pm SPE WA Opening Marks.\nTime:             17:10 pm – 17:45 pm Presentation.\nTime:             17:45 pm – 18:00 pm Q&A Session.\nTime:             18:00 pm – 19:30 pm Closing with Networking drinks & Nibbles. \nPlease notice the tickets sale is limited and be hurry to lock in your ticket.

SUMMARY:Designing Safe Carbon Capture Usage & Storage (CCUS) Facilities
DESCRIPTION:SPE Western Australia is pleased to present Dr Marina Karyagina\, Principal Safety and Risk Engineer at Advisian\, for the June Facilities Group Technical Evening. \n\nAbout the Presentation\nThe petroleum processing industry is well equipped and experienced in minimizing risk from major accident events associated with releases of hydrocarbons. CO2­ is a different fluid and\, when released\, behaves differently to a hydrocarbon gas\, such as methane. \nLike hydrocarbon releases\, a CO2 release can affect people caught in the dispersing cloud and may pose fatality risk (depending on CO2 concentrations and exposure durations).  Nevertheless\, safety risks associated with CO2 projects can be reduced to levels comparable to (or lower than) that of well-designed hydrocarbon facilities by understanding the hazards associated with CO2 and adhering to inherently safer design principles and risk-based approach. \nThis presentation will look at how CO2 release behaviour is different from hydrocarbon gas behaviour\, the hazards CO2 release poses to nearby populations\, and potential ways to minimise the risk. The current state of CO2 release modelling tools\, and the uncertainties/challenges that exist\, will also be discussed\, along with ways to overcome them \n\nAbout the Speaker \nDr Marina Karyagina is a Principal Safety and Risk Engineer from Advisian/Worley. Marina has been working in the area of technical safety and risk on offshore and pipeline projects for more than 20 years. Recently\, she has been involved in a project related to CO2 transport via subsea pipeline and offshore re-injection. \n\nAbout the Event\nPrice:             SPE Member $10\nPrice:             Non-Member $15\nPrice:             Bring a friend for free\, but it must be in the same registration.\nPrice:             Add your friend’s name to the field “Attendee Names” on the checkout page. \nDate:              Tuesday\, 14th of June 2022 \nLocation:      Riff Spacecubed\nLocation:      45 St Georges Terrace\, Perth WA \nTime:              5:00 pm – 5:15pm SPE WA Opening\nTime:              5:15 pm – 6:00 pm Presentation\nTime:              6:00 pm – 7:00 pm Networking Drinks & Nibbles \nAs per government requirements\, proof of at minimum double vaccination is required to enter the venue.

SUMMARY:Hydrogen - The Hype and The Reality
DESCRIPTION:SPE Western Australia is pleased to announce the May Facilities Group Event led by Martin Wilkes\, Managing Director at RISC. \n\nAbout the Presentation\nWith the number of “hy” profile announcements over the past year or so\, you could be forgiven for thinking that the hydrogen economy is just around the corner and ready to go. However\, as many R&D teams know the pathway to commercialisation traverses the technology “valley of death”\, which is littered with the skeletons of failed enterprises. Whilst hydrogen clearly has the significant advantage of not releasing CO2 when combusted there are many other factors that need to be addressed before the hydrogen economy becomes a reality. \nThis talk will discuss the current status of hydrogen\, look at the pathways to a hydrogen economy and discuss what the impacts might be. \n\nAbout the Speaker \nMartin Wilkes is the Managing Director of RISC\, an independent international energy advisory company headquartered in Perth\, Western Australia. \nMartin is a Chartered Engineer and a Chartered Environmentalist.

SUMMARY:SPE Distinguished Lecturer - How To Design A Good Reservoir Model
DESCRIPTION:Society of Petroleum Engineers Western Australia is proud to present the details of our April Technical Luncheon Meeting from our SPE Distinguished Lecturer Mark Bentley. \nAbout the Presentation\nThe difference between good models and bad models is an issue of model design. 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 <Until the 22nd April 2022>\n                       Early Bird Non-Member          $50 <Until the 22nd April 2022>\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.

SUMMARY:Impact of Climate Issues on Energy Industry Through 2050
DESCRIPTION:SPE WA is proud to present the details of the February 2022 SPE Distinguished Lecturer Webinar. \n\nAbout the Presentation\nThe world population\, energy companies\, industry associations\, professional societies and most policy makers increasingly view climate change and Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) as an existential threat to a sustainable future.  Demands to “decarbonize” energy grow rapidly and pose a serious challenge to the energy industry. \nThis presentation (1) summarizes the need for oil and gas as a worldwide energy source at mid-century and beyond\, (2) highlights ideas of several key thinkers regarding climate issues\, (3) describes the range of activities beyond “pure climate science” needed to address AGW\, and (4) highlights industry activities addressing AGW including strategies to get to “zero net emissions” by mid-century. \nThe author challenges industry leaders and professionals to avoid thinking “We are not climate scientists” as a barrier to engaging proactively in addressing climate issues. Broad systems analyses are needed to develop energy solutions – working across the nexus of the realms of energy\, environment\, and economics.  SPE’s Technical Disciplines\, as professionals working in energy\, can contribute a broad range of energy expertise needed to address AGW.  We must be proactive in engaging the worldwide community – earn trust as serious solutions providers. \nA political leader in climate policy offered a message to energy industry leaders: “If you don’t have a seat at the table (influencing policy)\, you will be part of the meal.”  The author adds a quote by Von Karmen – “Scientists discover the world that exists; engineers create the world that never was.”  The world needs energy professionals such as in SPE to claim a seat at the table along side of the climate scientists to solve climate challenges. \n\nAbout the Speaker – Philip Grossweiler\nPhil retired from ExxonMobil after 25 years in Production\, Development\, and Research Companies with assignments in engineering\, project management\, breakthrough research\, and corporate planning.  He consults at M&H Energy Services on Risk Management and LNG projects. His perspectives on climate policy and energy are based\, in part\, on work on staff of a Member of U.S. Congress and as Chair of an advisory committee to the U.S. Secretary of Energy for energy R&D Programs. He holds MS Degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and in Marine Engineering from U.S. Coast Guard Academy.  He Chairs SPE’s Sustainable Development Technical Section and Co-Chairs SPE’s Climate Advisory Committee. \n\nWebinar registration:\nPlease register via the SPE Distinguished Lecture link below.

SUMMARY:Automation and Data Analytics in the O&G industry
DESCRIPTION:Society of Petroleum Engineers Western Australia is proud to present the details of our Jan 2022 Technical Evening Meeting. \n\nAbout the Presentation\nConstant change is occurring in industry and society. The advent of ‘smart’ technologies is changing our lives\, and we have to deal with the buzz words of ‘automation’\, ‘data analytics’\, ‘machine language’\, ‘block chain’ and ‘Python’. But what does it all mean for today’s petroleum engineer and why now? All engineers are natural data analysists\, but we need to get ready for the next leap in technology and if we are not\, we will founder. Our companies must stay competitive\, but they may lose their edge if we don’t\, and we individually may fail to keep up with the tech changes which our kids will take for granted. \nIndustry is adapting technologies to optimise its controlling processes\, with the ability to remotely control as many as 10\,000 valves on a single offshore platform. But do we understand the latest technology\, and how do we compare with other similar industries such as mining? \nThis presentation will provide a background of the basic technologies which are being used in most ‘smart’ applications. It will provide an insight into the simple processes used\, such as pattern recognition\, infra-red monitoring\, the digital twin and automation analytics. Armed with this knowledge\, it will then explain the shock effect when quantum computers arrive and how the next major tech leap will affect both business\, but more importantly our daily lives. \n\nAbout the Speaker – Brian Evans\nBrian started his career in 1970 as an automation control design engineer with GEC Automation\, following which he learnt geology with Geoservice Paris as a mud logger. He then worked out of London/Dallas with Geophysical Service Inc as an instrument engineer. Subsequently\, he was an oil and gas geophysical consultant arriving in Perth in 1977 having worked in most areas of the world\, representing most of the oil majors of the day. During a time of industry downturn\, he did a Masters/PhD in Geophysics and enjoyed the research aspect of reservoir geophysics so much he stayed in academia while maintaining close contacts with industry. Over that whole period in time\, he worked in data analytics. \nBrian was responsible for establishing the Departments of Exploration Geophysics and Petroleum Engineering at Curtin\, becoming Head where he introduced the Bachelor and Master by research in Petroleum Engineering. He was also responsible for developing the Curtin Master of Predictive Analytics and the Master of Subsea Engineering courses. \nA winner of many international awards including the 2013 SPE: International Faculty Pipeline Award and 2014 Subsea Energy Australia: Business Special Recognition Award\, he holds five industrial patents\, published over 250 journal papers\, graduated 21 PhD students in geophysics/petroleum engineering and retired in 2019 after receiving the lifetime award of JCD Emeritus Professor from Curtin. He wrote the recently published book “A Simple Guide to Technology and Analytics”. \n\nAbout the Event\nPrice:               Early Bird SPE Member         $40 <Until the 21st of Jan 2022>\nTicket Price:  Early Bird Non-Member        $60 <Until the 21st of Jan 2022>\nTicket Price:  SPE Member                            $50\nTicket Price:  Non-Member                           $70 \nDate:                Tuesday\, 25th of Jan 2022 \nLocation:        Parmelia Hilton Hotel\nLocation:        14 Mill Street\, Perth WA 6000 \nTime:                4.45 pm – 5.00 pm Registration & Networking\nTime:                5.00 pm – 5.10 pm SPE WA Opening Marks\nTime:                5.10 pm – 5.45 pm Presentation\nTime:                5.45 pm – 6.00 pm Q&A Session\nTime:                6.00 pm – 7.30 pm Networking Drinks & Nibbles \nPlease\, notice the tickets sale closes on the 24th of January at midday.

DESCRIPTION:Society of Petroleum Engineers Western Australia is pleased to announce the November Facilities Group Technical Event led by Ross Weiter\, Principal Consultant and Carbon Capture Lead from Advisian.  \n  \n\nAbout the Presentation\nCCUS is seen by many bodies such as the IEA and the IPCC as one of the key enablers to decarbonizing the economy. Transportation of CO2 is a key focal area in any CCUS project\, but while dehydration of natural gas for transportation is well understood and regulated\, the same cannot be said for CO2. \nDehydration specifications need to consider important project parameters such as ambient temperatures\, CO2 pressures and materials of construction. Based on the selected specification\, the most suitable method for implementing the dehydration should be selected\, along with the optimum location of the dehydration equipment in the multi-stage pressure-boosting plant.  These challenges\, and a methodology for overcoming them\, will be explored in this presentation. \nAbout the Speaker – Ross Weiter\n \nRoss has over 28 years of experience in all areas of the upstream oil and gas industry. This includes time spent in concept engineering\, front end engineering design\, detail design\, operation support and several years of site work. His experience includes many carbon capture and sequestration studies for various clients such as Wesfarmers\, Arctic LNG2\, Woodside\, ConocoPhillips\, Chevron\, Korea National Oil Company\, BG and others. Ross spent most of his career working in Perth\, with three years in Muscat working for Petroleum Development Oman (PDO). Today he is a Principal Consultant at Advisian\, where he is also the Carbon Capture and Sequestration Lead for the Asia-Pacific Region. \nAbout the Event\nPrice:             SPE Member $10\nPrice:             Non-Member $15\nPrice:             Bring a friend for free\, but it must be in the same registration.\nPrice:             Add your friend’s name to the field “Attendee Names” on the checkout page. \nDate:              Tuesday\, 16th of November 2021 \nLocation:      Riff Spacecubed – 45 St Georges Terrace\, Perth WA \nTime:              5:00 pm – 5:25pm  Registration & Networking\nTime:              5:25 pm – 5:30 pm  SPE WA Opening\nTime:              5:30 pm – 6:15 pm Presentation\nTime:              6:15 pm  – 7:00 pm Networking Drinks & Nibbles

SUMMARY:Global LNG – An Industry in Disruptive Transformation
DESCRIPTION:SPE WA is proud to present the details of the November SPE Distinguished Lecturer Webinar. \n\nAbout the Presentation\nThe global Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) industry is going through disruptive transformation. This term is often heard but one we can now see applied to a large capital intensive industry. For decades\, the LNG business had been traditional\, cosy\, conservative and uncompetitive\, with a few large players\, opaque and rigid. \nWe consider the drivers that make an industry change\, particularly an energy industry and the characteristics of energy markets. We find that LNG meets the criteria of an industry ready for change. Three key factors drive transformation\, namely an industry wide crisis\, action to enable the business environment and then the market developing by itself. \nDrivers for LNG change include technological (FSRU\, FLNG\, supersized ships\, Mini-LNG\, bunkering) and commercial (global LNG oversupply\, regulatory\, new demand and supply centres\, new business models\, new players\, new trading patterns). Any of these can provide an industry crisis but among the most important is the entry of the USA\, set to become the world’s marginal LNG supplier (which sets the price) and also largest supplier\, with different business models. The combined effects are transformational. \nChange is continuing\, with the growing influence of the USA\, LNG hubs\, bunkering and mini LNG. The sleepy traditional LNG world is changing and will continue to do so. Coronavirus has a large impact but the LNG world was already transforming. \nMembers should consider what further disruption will come. They should also identify additional value in gas from previously stranded supplies and demand which can now be opened up. \n\nAbout the Speakers – Peter Nigel Cameron\nMr Peter Cameron is Founder and Managing Director of Energy Markets Global\, a UK based international energy markets consultancy. He is also lecturer in Business Strategy for Middlesex University (UK) Oil and Gas MBA. \nPeter advises governments and companies globally on the economic and commercial aspects of gas markets. He has over 25 years of worldwide project experience (long and short term). He was Chairman of the International Services Board of the Society of British Gas Industries and represented the British Government on the gas sector worldwide. Previously\, Peter was Corporate Strategist and Planner for British Gas (now Shell). \n\nWebinar registration:\nPlease register via the SPE Distinguished Lecture link below.

SUMMARY:Monitoring and Modelling Condensate Banking Effects with the Ichthys Field Production Data
DESCRIPTION:Society of Petroleum Engineers Western Australia is proud to present the details of our October Technical Evening Meeting. \n\nAbout the Presentation\nThe Ichthys gas-condensate field is situated in the Browse Basin\, North West Shelf of Australia\, and the field production commenced in July 2018. The Brewster Member\, one of the two reservoirs in the field\, is a liquid-rich sandstone reservoir. One of the major uncertainties is the degree of well productivity impairment\, caused by condensate banking since the dew point pressure is close to the initial reservoir pressure. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the condensate banking impact on well production performance and to establish a modelling methodology to consider the condensate banking effect in a full-field simulation model\, based on the field production data. \nPermanent downhole gauges are deployed in the field\, and thus\, downhole pressure can be monitored continuously. We conducted high rate tests for selected wells to monitor well productivity impairment from the condensate banking. This production data was history-matched with a compositional sector model by applying Local Grid Refinement (LGR) and Velocity-Dependent Relative Permeability (VDRP) to account for more accurate physics in the near-well region. With the tuned VDRP model\, skin trends were predicted to increase with various gas rates\, and a skin correlation was established as a function of this gas rate. This correlation is applied to the full-field simulation where LGR and VDRP cannot be applied due to a simulation time constraint. \nThe skin correlation was validated through the history matching\, using the full-field model and was used to predict the future field production performance. We need continuous monitoring of the condensate banking effect\, to further validate the correlation because the production data used in this study is less than one-year duration. The correlation is then flexible enough to tune the history matching when necessary. \nWe present the monitoring and modelling of the condensate banking effect with the actual production data. The implementation of the proposed well modelling will help reservoir engineers in considering the condensate banking effect in the field production forecast. \n\nAbout the Speaker – Ryo Iizuka\n \nRyo Iizuka is Senior Reservoir Engineer for INPEX. He has 12 years of experience in reservoir engineering\, and his expertise includes reservoir simulation\, pressure transient analysis\, CO2 EOR and field development planning. For the past 6 years\, he has worked on reservoir management and development planning for the Ichthys field. \n\nAbout the Event\nPrice:               Early Bird SPE Member         $40 <Until the 13th of October>\nTicket Price:  Early Bird Non-Member        $60 <Until the 13th of October>\nTicket Price:  SPE Member                            $50\nTicket Price:  Non-Member                           $70 \nDate:                Wednesday\, 20th of October 2021 \nLocation:        Parmelia Hilton Hotel\nLocation:        14 Mill Street\, Perth WA 6000 \nTime:                4.45 pm – 5.00 pm Registration & Networking\nTime:                5.00 pm – 5.10 pm SPE WA Opening Marks\nTime:                5.10 pm – 5.45 pm Presentation\nTime:                5.45 pm – 6.00 pm Q&A Session\nTime:                6.00 pm – 7.30 pm Networking Drinks & Nibbles \nPlease\, notice the tickets sale closes on the 19th of October at midday. \n\nFree Tickets Available for SPE Student Chapter Members\nSPE WA\, in conjunction with our sponsor\, tNavigator (Rock Flow Dynamics)\, are kindly sponsoring SPE Student Chapter Members to attend the monthly technical events.

SUMMARY:Cancelled - Operational Digital Twins: Real Experience in Delivering Virtual Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Society of Petroleum Engineers Western Australia is pleased to announce the September Facilities Group Technical Event lead by Greg Sevel and Andy Jones \n\nAbout the Presentation\nJust defining a Digital Twin can be a complex ordeal. So\, it should not be surprising that actually creating a useful Digital Twin of an Oil and Gas asset is a challenging and non-linear journey. Worley Digital and Sentient Computing have spent the better part of the last decade approaching this challenge from opposite sides\, often partnering to provide a more holistic solution to our customers. Operating on the bleeding edge\, we have had our share of failures\, learnings\, and successes in our journey. \nIn this presentation\, we openly discuss our experiences: what worked and what did not\, the challenges that we continue to face\, the rationale behind each of our approaches and the future that we see for the Digital Twin sector. \n\nAbout the Speakers\n Greg Sevel\n \nGreg is a Product Manager at Sentient Computing\, an Australian technology company provider that specialises in solving industrial-scale visualisation challenges. He is responsible for InDI\, a Digital Interface web application with a 3D viewport that connects an organisation’s digital assets to all of their data layers. His team is focused on building a lightweight\, sustainable product that evolves with innovations in the technology and resource sectors and enables organisations to work more efficiently. Over the past 12 months\, he has overseen the successful roll out of InDI to three Tier-1 resource companies in the past 12 months. \nPrior to joining Sentient\, Greg spent 10 years in the Oil and Gas sector at Baker Hughes working across APAC in various technical and managerial functions. \nGreg graduated from the University of Western Australia in 2009 with a BSc in Computer Science (Computation) and a BSc (Hons) in Engineering (Oil and Gas). \nAndy Jones\n \nAndy Jones is currently the Digital Twin Subject Matter Expert (SME) for WorleyDigital\, and is a process engineer and data scientist with 26 years’ experience in the oil and gas\, mining\, chemical and nuclear sectors\, in varying locations worldwide. He spent 21 years of his career in dynamic process simulation modelling and digital technology-based solutions. \nHe has been developing digital twin applications for the past 15 years\, a long time before the term digital twin was in popular use. Lately he has been combining the greatest strengths of traditional first principles engineering and simulation-based applications with best of the data science approach including machine learning and artificial intelligence. He is also pioneering augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) customer solutions. \nHe graduated from the University of Nottingham\, UK in 1994 with an BSc (Hons) in Chemical Engineering and also has a graduate certificate in data science from Deakin University\, Melbourne. \n\nAbout the Event\nPrice:             SPE Member $10\nPrice:             Non-Member $15\nPrice:             Bring a friend for free\, but it must be in the same registration.\nPrice:             Add your friend’s name to the field “Attendee Names” on the checkout page. \nDate:              Tuesday\, 21st of September 2021 \nLocation:      Riff Spacecubed – 45 St Georges Terrace\, Perth WA \nTime:              4:45 pm – 5:00 pm Registration & Networking\nTime:              5:00 pm – 5:05 pm  SPE WA Opening\nTime:              5:05 pm – 5:45 pm Presentation\nTime:              5:45 pm – 6:00 pm Q&A\nTime:              6:00 pm  – 7:00 pm Networking Drinks & Nibbles

SUMMARY:Blue Hydrogen – Gas-Gas Separation Technologies
DESCRIPTION:Society of Petroleum Engineers Western Australia is pleased to announce the August Facilities Group Technical Event lead by Dr Gongkui Xiao\, Research Fellow from The University of Western Australia. \n\nAbout the Presentation\nHydrogen is increasingly being acknowledged as an energy carrier that will help achieve a low or net zero-carbon energy future. Currently\, more than 95% of the hydrogen in the world is produced from fossil fuels\, with or without the capture of the co-produced carbon dioxide. When the carbon dioxide is captured and sequestered (e.g. permanently stored in depleted oil or gas reservoirs or deep saline aquifers)\, the hydrogen is referred to as blue hydrogen. \nSeveral gas-gas separation operations are involved in the production of blue hydrogen from methane steam reforming\, hydrocarbon reforming or coal gasification.  These include desulfurization of the feed gas or syngas to protect the catalysts used in the production process\, the removal of gas impurities in the hydrogen product stream\, the capture and purification of the carbon dioxide co-produced in the process\, and optional further separation or recovery of valuable components such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons in the vent gas from the hydrogen purification and CO2 removal units.  More recently the low carbon-hydrogen (LCH) process offers a major improvement in blue hydrogen production through the use of oxygen. \nGas-gas separation operations are also essential in the application of hydrogen as an energy carrier. Ammonia is already in use as a transport friendly proxy for hydrogen. The ammonia production process requires air separation to provide the nitrogen for ammonia synthesis\, the purification of the produced ammonia\, and the recovery of hydrogen from the vent of liquid ammonia storage. In addition\, there is also a need for the separation of hydrogen from natural gas if the produced hydrogen is blended with natural gas for pipeline transportation to end-users. \nThis presentation reviews the gas-gas separation technologies required in the production\, distribution and use of blue hydrogen. \n\nAbout the Speaker – Dr Gongkui Xiao\n \nDr Gongkui Xiao graduated with a PhD degree in chemical engineering from Monash University in 2012. He then worked as a post-doc researcher at Monash University and the University of Melbourne on the modelling and pilot demonstration of carbon capture processes. He is now a chartered professional engineer and research fellow at The University of Western Australia. His research revolves around the development and application of novel materials and processes in energy and environmental related technologies. He has published more than 40 papers related to gas separations. He has consulted on industry projects for improving the efficiency of gas separation processes for companies in the Middle East and North America. \n\nAbout the Event\nPrice:             SPE Member $10\nPrice:             Non-Member $15\nPrice:             Bring a friend for free\, but it must be in the same registration.\nPrice:             Add your friend’s name to the field “Attendee Names” on the checkout page. \nDate:              Tuesday\, 17th of August 2021 \nLocation:      Riff Spacecubed – 45 St Georges Terrace\, Perth WA \nTime:              4:45 pm – 5:00 pm Registration & Networking\nTime:              5:00 pm – 5:05  pm  SPE WA Opening\nTime:              5:05  pm  – 5:45 pm Presentation\nTime:              5:45  pm  – 6:00 pm Q&A\nTime:              6:00 pm  – 7:00 pm Networking Drinks & Nibbles \n\n
