The original Turner method was developed for vertical wells with analysis performed using wellhead conditions. However\, this methodology is only applicable to high-pressure\, vertical wells with a simple completion geometry. Modern well design employs complex geometries\,  including slant\, S-shaped\, and horizontal well paths\, as operators seek to reduce costs and the environmental footprint\, while maximizing the production rate potential. Modern designs require special consideration in estimating critical velocity. The presentation will provide an overview of historical techniques for detecting liquid loading and modifications of the Turner method to address contemporary well designs. \nPresenter: Robert Sutton \nRobert Sutton is an independent consultant.

The question is: Why? Why did these two more recent Incidents occur if we had learnt lessons from Piper Alpha and implemented the appropriate corrective actions? \nDr Rhona Flin from the University of Aberdeen and her team were tasked by the IOGP to investigate and report on this question. Their first report published in 2012\, clearly indicates that these incidents could be attributed to human factors and not the lack of procedures. Two more reports followed that defined six core Non-Technical Skills and a syllabi\, from which a number of training organizations around the world have already developed into two or three day training programs. Although this is a step in the right direction\, the question that still needs to be addressed is: How can we ensure that once our people become aware of these non-technical skills\, that they can then actually implement them? \nFrom a psychological point of view\, a person can learn a new concept in a matter of minutes\, but it takes approximately two years of implementation for it to become a permanent change in their behavior. The aim of this presentation is to recognizes the question asked and introduce a continuous Personal Development strategy\, which has over 100 academic years of experience behind it and been applied over the past 25 years here in Australia\, to help each individual become a more effective team member and implement the required long term change. \nSpeaker: Jeanne Alexandra Boles \nJeanne has over 10 years’ experience in Well Servicing Operations\, Training and Management\, with Schlumberger\, on land and offshore operations\, in shallow and deep water environments\, across four continents\, giving her a greater insight into the way in which people and organisations function. Over the last year\, Jeanne has worked with Well Control Training providers to focus on Technical Training and has in the last year had the honour of working with a local Industrial Psychologist to develop one of the first IADC approved Well Operations Crew Resource Management (WOCRM) programs for Welltrain. \nDuring Jeanne’s career\, she has always been actively involved in mentoring and developing material to teach internal and external clients and has decided to take Personal Development to the next level and set up her own Consulting and Coaching business\, that combines the understanding of the Technical and Training needs of the O&G Industry and the concepts of Continuous Personal Development to offer individuals the tools required to achieve their goals and ultimately the goals of their organisations. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  URL:https://www.spe-wa.org/event/spe-technical-luncheon-boosting-effectiveness-of-multi-disciplinary-technical-teams-through-continuous-personal-development-methodology/ LOCATION:Parmelia Hilton\, 14 Mill Street\, Perth\, Western Australia\, 6000\, Australia ORGANIZER;CN="Danielle Poskus (SPE Program Chair)":MAILTO:danielle.poskus@shell.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Perth:20150921T161500 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Perth:20150921T173000 DTSTAMP:20150904T081352Z CREATED:20150831T093357Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150904T081352Z UID:1364-1442852100-1442856600@www.spe-wa.org SUMMARY:SPE WA Lecture Series - South West Hub CO2 Storage Dynamic Modelling DESCRIPTION:Title:  South West Hub CO2 Storage Dynamic Modelling \nCO2 sequestration in underground formations is currently being considered to reduce the amount of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere. Understanding of the subsurface\, trapping and containment mechanisms and the chemical and physical interactions between CO2\, formation water\, and formation rock is necessary before sequestration can be approved. Part of the assessment is an assessment of the area and how the subsurface behaviour and movement of injected CO2 may change over time.  A dynamic model of the whole process can help uncertainty reduction throughout the exploration and appraisal stages. The accuracy of the dynamic model can also be increased by collecting more data from the region through 2D and 3D seismic surveys\, drilling data and appraisal wells. \nThe South West Hub CO2 sequestration is a project being led by the Department of Mines and Petroleum and funded by the Commonwealth Government. Whilst commercial projects are not expected in the immediate future\, planning is based around capturing CO2 from a number of emission points\, transporting the CO2 via pipeline to the storage site\, and sequestrate into Wonnerup sandstone member of the southern Perth Basin. The expected CO2 injection mass is between 2 to 6.5 Million tonnes per year.  Extensive data acquisition activities have been carried out during last 5 years including 2D\, and 3D seismic survey and the drilling of 4 wells in the area of interest interested. In this presentation a background to the project\, the mechanism of storage into porous media\, and the plume movement will be explained. \n  \nSpeaker’s Biography \nMohammad Bahar has more than 25 years’ experience in the oil and gas industry and is the author of more than 28 peer-reviewed scientific publications and conference papers. He has a BSc and a MSc in petroleum/chemical engineering from the Petroleum University of Technology\, Iran\, and a PhD in petroleum engineering from Curtin University of Technology. He has professional experience with fluid phase behavior\, enhanced oil recovery\, reservoir simulation and field development planning. He started his career with National Iranian Oil Company from 1990–2003. After completing his PhD\, he joined CSIRO as a research scientist in 2006\, where he worked on a microbial-enhanced oil recovery project. In 2010\, he joined the Department of Mines and Petroleum\, where he is a senior reservoir engineer on unconventional resources\, CO2 storage and reservoir management projects. \nThis event is proudly sponsored by AWE Limited.

Most think of perforating as being the act of running guns loaded with shaped charges into a well on wireline or tubing and blasting holes as deep as possible into the formation. However\, techniques and models have recently evolved that clearly show that the focus should be on perforating for productivity\, rather than perforating for penetration. The presentation leads the audience through the research\, experiments and models that show how\, today\, we can maximize reservoir potential through a perforated completion. It highlights the importance of not just penetration\, but also shot density and perforation clean up\, as well as the need to bring the well on production without damaging new perforations. The one idea I would like the members to take away from this lecture is that they should take care of how they perforate their wells and use the techniques available or risk losing thousands of barrels of production. These techniques apply to new wells\, old wells and also help delay unwanted events such as production below bubble point or condensate banking. So not only wells should produce better\, but they should also flow for longer without intervention. (Note that this presentation can be tailored for specific local requirements such as “Perforating for Fracturing” or “Perforating Carbonates”. \n  \nPresenter: Andrew Martin \nAndy Martin is Technical Director of Perforating for Schlumberger having joined the company in 1979 as a field engineer. His career has taken him through operations\, teaching cased hole services and technical writing. In 1996 Andy moved to Engineering Rosharon\, Texas where perforating systems are developed\, shaped charges manufactured and perforating research conducted for Schlumberger. Since then he has been involved in all aspects of perforating and regularly presents and teaches on the topic. \nHe is a member of SPE\, SPWLA and IExE and is a Schlumberger Advisor. Andy graduated from Oxford University obtaining an MA in Engineering Science. \nAttendee Evaluation Form \nDistinguished Lecturer Events URL:https://www.spe-wa.org/event/spe-distinguished-lecturer-modern-perforating-techniques-key-to-unlocking-reservoir-potential/ LOCATION:Parmelia Hilton\, 14 Mill Street\, Perth\, Western Australia\, 6000\, Australia ORGANIZER;CN="Lynn Bird (SPE Admin)":MAILTO:Lynn.Bird@bakerhughes.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Perth:20150824T161500 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Perth:20150824T173000 DTSTAMP:20150904T081554Z CREATED:20150806T073831Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150904T081554Z UID:1172-1440432900-1440437400@www.spe-wa.org SUMMARY:SPE WA Lecture: Drilling Response of Impregnated Diamond Bits: Challenges and Opportunities DESCRIPTION:Drilling Response of Impregnated Diamond Bits: Challenges and Opportunities \nDrilling industry has been facing challenges associated with drilling hard and abrasive formations\, where low drilling performance and short bit life lead to low rate of penetrations and number of trips. The drilling efficiency can be improved by using Impregnated Diamond (ID) bit\, where the performance of bit can be sustained and bit life can be prolonged by sharpening processes replacing the old and blunt diamonds by sharp ones embedded in a bonding matrix. Although being used frequently in hard rock drilling\, full potentials of ID bits have not been achieved in the field due to lack of understanding of the cutting and wear mechanisms dominating the ID bit response. \nIn this presentation\, the outcomes of a phenomenological research on the drilling action of ID bits are introduced. The results show that there are two dominant mechanisms mobilised at diamond/rock interface yielding to three drilling regimes. The understanding of the drilling regimes can be used to infer information regarding the bit wear status\, drilling performance\, cleaning and optimum operating condition. The presentation covers various cutting and drilling experiments performed in the lab as well as field\, on five different rock samples using more than 40 different ID bit and segment designs. \nPresenter \nDr. Mostofi is a researcher and lecturer at Petroleum Engineering Department of Curtin University. In the last five years in Curtin\, he has been collaborating with Deep Exploration Technology Corporative Research Centre and CSIRO in hard rock drilling research. Particularly\, he has been working on diamond bit/rock interaction\, drilling optimisation\, hole cleaning and depth discrimination of cuttings. Examples of these collaborations are development of a drilling model for interpretation and optimisation of diamond bit drilling\, and a number of field tests optimising the drilling performance and validating state of the art lab studies. When it comes to teaching\, he has been lecturer of Drilling units in bachelor’s and masters’ programs. \nThank you to the sponsors for our 2014/15 SPE Lecture Series: \n  URL:https://www.spe-wa.org/event/spe-wa-lecture-drilling-response-of-impregnated-diamond-bits-challenges-and-opportunities/ LOCATION:Mia Yellagonga (Woodside)\, 11 Mount St\, Perth\, Western Australia\, 6000\, Australia ORGANIZER;CN="Abbas Khaksar":MAILTO:WAContinuingEducation@apemail.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Perth:20150822T190000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Perth:20150823T000000 DTSTAMP:20150904T081325Z CREATED:20150714T205915Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150904T081325Z UID:750-1440270000-1440288000@www.spe-wa.org SUMMARY:SPE WA Annual Fundraising Ball 2015 DESCRIPTION:Registration Price:\nMember $220.00\nStudent $220.00\nNon-Members $220.00\nTable of 10 $Sold Out total\nSilver Sponsor table of 10 $2500 total\nGold Sponsor table of 10 $2900 total URL:https://www.spe-wa.org/event/spe-wa-annual-fundraising-ball-2015/ LOCATION:Governor’s Ballroom\, Government House\, St Georges Terrace\, Perth\, Western Australia\, 6000\, Australia CATEGORIES:Social END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Perth:20150818T163000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Perth:20150818T180000 DTSTAMP:20150904T081314Z CREATED:20150730T072642Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150904T081314Z UID:953-1439915400-1439920800@www.spe-wa.org SUMMARY:SPE WA Oil and Gas Facilities Group: Dynamic simulation - challenging the “just do this” approach DESCRIPTION:SPE WA Oil and Gas Facilities Group – Technical Presentation: \nDynamic simulation – Challenging the “just do this” approach \nOver the last decade\, the use of dynamic simulation has been increasing in our industry and now operators are using dynamic simulation at different stages of projects. This presentation will focus on examples of how dynamic simulation has been used successfully to support operations through the life cycle of projects\, e.g. from well clean‑up\, field start‑up\, production operations\, right through to field abandonment. Thanks to dynamic simulation\, the “just do this” approach is rapidly disappearing from our industry. \nAbout our Speaker: Rio Yokote \nRio is the Senior Petroleum Engineer for Eni Australia in their operations department. He has 20 years of industry experience in a wide variety positions. His experience includes operations engineering support for daily production\, planning and supervising various offshore operations\, e.g. DST\, completion clean‑up\, field start‑up\, well intervention\, wireline logging\, etc. He is author of a number of technical papers\, ranging from intelligent completions to application of dynamic simulation to support operations. \nContact: \nJulie Morgan: Julie.Morgan1@woodside.com.au \nLina Velosa: lina.velosa@nexxis.com.au \nThanks to our Sponsor \n \n  \n  URL:https://www.spe-wa.org/event/spe-wa-oil-and-gas-facilities-group-dynamic-simulation-challenging-the-just-do-this-approach-because-your-hairs-not-grey/ LOCATION:Mia Yellagonga (Woodside)\, 11 Mount St\, Perth\, Western Australia\, 6000\, Australia ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.spe-wa.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/RioYokote.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20150816 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20150821 DTSTAMP:20150721T211656Z CREATED:20150531T211154Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150721T211656Z UID:754-1439686800-1440032399@www.spe-wa.org SUMMARY:Integrated Production Modelling - Maximising Asset Value - Workshop DESCRIPTION:Integrated production modelling has become increasingly important to the petroleum industry\, as it is used to model the oil and gas production system; combines reservoir\, production and surface engineering modelling into an asset management tool that allows the simulation of the entire oil and gas system for generation of production forecasts\, identification of optimisation opportunities\, surveillance\, and development planning.

Subsea technology provides a means to technically and economically produce remote and/or deep water reserves by placing subsea equipment i.e. Wellhead\, Tree system\, Manifold etc. on the sea bed. The subsea production system can range in complexity from a single satellite well with a flowline linked to a fixed/floating platform\, to several wells on a template or clustered around a manifold that transfers oil and gas to a fixed or floating facility or directly to onshore facilities. \nPresenter: Zahid Hasan is the Subsea Field Development Lead for FMC Technologies Australia & New Zealand. He has more than twelve years of experience in offshore and subsea engineering\, in particular subsea hardware and system engineering projects.  Before joining FMC Technologies\, Zahid worked for DNV and was involved with technology development for subsea pipeline and DNV led Joint Industry projects for offshore and subsea structures. \nIf you wish to attend this free lecture\, register by adding a free ticket to your cart below and proceed to the Checkout.
