This presentation will showcase well dynamic simulations supporting the full life cycle of well operations\, including well clean-up\, field start-up\, production operations\, well intervention and field abandonment. These case studies highlight the importance of a cross-disciplinary approach to foster strong collaborations between the field-based supervisor and the office-based engineer carrying out the simulations. When operational parameters are properly incorporated into simulations\, the results can provide great insights\, enabling field supervisors to carry out operations in a safe and efficient manner. Field supervision becomes more relaxed and assured as emergent situations have already been anticipated through simulations that include multiple what-if scenarios. A successful application of well dynamic simulation provides an informed challenge to experience-based bias that is common in operations organizations\, which often results in a “just do this\, because it worked well in the past” approach. So\, let’s simulate operations to anticipate the expected and unexpected before going out to the field. Your operations will be safer\, more predictable\, and more enjoyable! \n  \nAbout the Distinguished Lecturer:\nRyosuke YOKOTE (Rio) is a Senior Petroleum Engineer with Eni Australia. He has over 29 years of industry experience in Australia\, Timor-Leste\, Indonesia\, and Japan. His experiences include operations engineering support\, planning and supervising various well operations\, flow assurance engineering as well as hands-on drilling crew during the early days of his career. He has authored and co-authored multiple technical papers on intelligent completions\, advanced perforation technique and application of well dynamic simulation to support operations. Rio graduated from Tohoku University in 1993 with a BSc and in 1995 with an MSc\, both in Resource Engineering. \n  \nAbout the Event\nPrice:             Early Bird SPE Member        $40 \n                       Early Bird Non-Member         $60 \n                       SPE Member                          $50\n                       Non-Member                          $70 \nDate:              Wednesday\, 5 June 2024 \nLocation:       Parmelia Hilton Hotel\nLocation:       14 Mill Street\, Perth WA 6000 \nTime:             11:45am – 12:00pm Registration & Networking.\nTime:             12:00pm – 12:50pm Opening remarks and presentation.\nTime:             12:50pm – 1:00pm Q&A Session.\nTime:             1:00pm – 2:30 pm  Networking drinks & nibbles. \nFree tickets are available for Students.

It is therefore critical that there is a universal means to record the storable quantities by recognizing the maturity of the projects to be implemented and the confidence that can be placed in the estimated volumes to be sequestered. \n\nThis talk will look at some of the ways in which carbon dioxide can be stored and provide a review of the CO2 Storage Resources Management System (SRMS) framework prepared by the Society of Petroleum Engineers to classify and categorize the storable quantities. \n\nThe talk will cover:\n• An overview of carbon capture\, utilization and storage\, including the role of greenhouse gasses in global warming\n• Discussion of typical modes of storage of carbon dioxide in saline aquifers and depleted oil and gas fields\n• Review of the CO2 Storage Resources Management System (SRMS)\, including principles and key definitions\n• Discussion of economics and evaluation methods\n• A hypothetical example \n  \nAbout the Speaker\nRawdon Seager is a reservoir engineer with over 50 years’ experience in the international oil and gas arena with Shell\, Huffco and\, since 1985\, Gaffney\, Cline & Associates\, where he is Chief Reservoir Engineer and Global Director of Quality Assurance. He is currently ivolved in CCS studies and application of the SRMS. He has a BSc in Physics from Bristol University and an MSc in Petroleum Engineering from Imperial College\, London. Rawdon is past Chairman of the SPE Oil and Gas Reserves Committee and past member of the Board and current Chair of the Reserves Definitions Committee of the SPEE.

(There will be two talks) \nTALK-1: \nHydrogen geo-storage in rock salt formations: Petrophysical characterisation and geomechanical testing of a potential host formation in Western Australia \nThis is a presentation on the evaluation of the potential suitability of a rock salt formation for waste disposal or energy/gas storage. We consider the case of the Frome Rocks salt dome (depth > 600 m) in the Canning basin\, Western Australia. This evaluation involves the characterization of the petrophysical\, mineralogical and geomechanical properties of rock salt samples from two contrasting facies\, identified from recovered core material: a shallower (800m) heterogeneous facies with 40% halite and 38% of dolomite inclusions (mm to cm); and a deeper (1100m) homogeneous\, halite-rich facies (98%). \nThe dataset includes porosity and gas permeability estimation as a function of confining pressure (or depth); and multi-stage triaxial (MTXL) testing at four distinct confining pressures\, one of which corresponding to the confining pressure prevailing at the depth of recovery of each sample. MTXL tests allow to simulate the impact on the mechanical properties of depth within the formation; and that of the stress perturbations induced by drilling/excavation operations. During each stage of an MTXL test\, gas transmission and creep were also evaluated under hydrostatic and deviatoric stress conditions. \nThe heterogeneous (homogeneous) salt facies exhibits a porosity of 0.8 – 1.1% (0.2 – 0.3%)\, and a gas permeability of 50 – 500 D (1 – 20 D)\, within the confining pressure interval 0 – 16 MPa. Each MTXL test lasted about 80 days\, essentially due to the time-consuming nature of the gas transmission and creep evaluations. The two salt facies have a remarkably contrasting mechanical and petrophysical response to hydrostatic and deviatoric stresses; both facies\, however\, behave in a rather ductile manner at their native depth\, i.e.\, plastic yield rather than brittle fracturing/faulting. \nMustafa Sari holds a Ph.D. in Geomechanics from UNSW (2019). Currently\, in his role as a Research Scientist at CSIRO\, Kensington\, WA\, he is focusing on hydrogen storage in salt caverns and depleted gas reservoirs from a geomechanical perspective. \nTALK-2:\nThe exciting applications of 3D Geomechanics in addressing the challenges in the O&G industry \nGeomechanics is increasingly becoming an important component of reservoir management from exploration to abandonment. If rock is removed (eg: while drilling) or pressure is changed in a reservoir (eg: depletion or injection) this alters the stress state of the rock.\nThis has cascading effect on the operation we are performing. \n• Drilling: Determining the safe mud weight drilling without incurring hole collapse or fracturing the formation\n• Completion: Determine safe draw-down without causing sanding issues\n• Hydraulic Fracturing: Determining the rock elastic properties and stress that are important inputs to the Hydraulic Fracture Stimulation designing.\n• Production optimization: If the rock has natural fractures and flow is thru fractures\, then how will the permeability change with stress in the life of the field.\n• Compaction and Subsidence: By how much will the reservoir compact or surface subside? \nThis presentation will go through how 1D and 3D Geomechanics models are constructed and their applications through examples. \nZachariah John Pallikathekathil (Zach) is currently the domain lead of Geomechanics and Acoustics in SLB\, based in Perth. \nABOUT THE EVENT \nAttending IN PERSON\nSPE Member $0 (Free)\nSPE Non-Member $ 10 (Introductory Offer) \nLocation: SLB Office\, Uluru conference room (5th Floor)\, 10\, Telethon Ave\, Perth\, 6000 \nAttending ONLINE\n(You will be able to join via MICROSOFT TEAMS.

To understand fluid flow\, pressure must be expressed as over-pressure variation\, the variation in potential\, equating to over-pressure above hydrostatic gradient or head (the height a water column would rise above MSL in a pipe intersecting the point of measurement).  Variation in fluid potential within the aquifer beneath a hydrocarbon field results in a variation in FWL over a field (tilted or stepped contacts).  This is not evident in most fields due to the small size of fields relative to the small variations in potential which are routinely interpreted as measurement error.  However\, when the variation is higher these tilts or steps can be very significant\, due to: \n\nLarge field areas\nFaults causing baffling\nLower permeabilities\nHigher water flows\nHigh density hydrocarbons where minor variation in potential causes significant tilting.\n\nIn this talk concepts such as overpressure\, potentiometric maps and sections and compartmentalised reservoirs are discussed.  Examples from all over the world are presented along with the impact on failed exploration wells and sub-optimum development plans.  Vertical variation in potential within fields is also discussed. Finally\, publicly available pressure data from the Perth Basin is reviewed and discussed to consider whether Perth Basin Fields are compartmentalised\, or have complexly stepped contacts. \nAbout the Speakers\nRobert Seggie and Peter van Ruth \nRobert worked as a petroleum geologist for over 40 years.

Many of these wells are old and close to de-commissioning but day to day management remains a key issue.\n \nThis dynamic presentation shows and documents how over time\, key industry events have impacted the well construction and management process of our well stock. Changes are partly driven by regulations in one part of the world and utilised by other regions as best practices. Technical advances in engineering and sciences also create change by providing greater access to well data and well operational status. Finally\, software such as Well Integrity Management Systems (WIMS) has brought about an awareness of the wells status and how it can be better managed particularly as part of the ageing process.\n \nWell integrity is an exciting discipline that embraces a wide range of subjects and skills. Like crime scene investigation\, the evidence is provided – it’s a case of reviewing and understanding the data\, that ultimately leads you and the team to making a decision on the best way to manage your well(s). \n\nAbout the Speaker \nSimon began his career in 1978 working for Schlumberger in the Middle East. Over the next 25 years he worked globally for a variety of service providers and Operators in various field and office based roles both onshore and offshore as an Operations Engineer. Gaining a masters degree in 2005 he moved into Operations Management for a major independent operator and built his first well integrity management system\, publishing SPE MS-142449\, ‘Seven Pillars of Well Integrity’ which identified\, which established the key seven system ingredients for well integrity. \nConsiderable experience and knowledge was gained as a co-author of ISO Well Integrity Standard 16530-1. Now\, as an independent contractor\, he authors key operations related documents for a wide range of clients\, building well integrity management systems and providing training schools in many countries and languages for all types of wells.\n \nSimon is an active member of the SPE\, and is working on various committees to promote well integrity awareness on a global basis. \n\nAbout the Event\nPrice:             Early Bird SPE Member          $40 \n                       Early Bird Non-Member          $60 \n                       SPE Member                          $50\n                       Non-Member                           $70 \nDate:              Wednesday\, 6 March 2024 \nLocation:       Parmelia Hilton Hotel\nLocation:       14 Mill Street\, Perth WA 6000 \nTime:             4:45 pm – 5:00 pm Registration & Networking.\nTime:             5:00 pm – 5:50 pm Opening remarks and presentation.\nTime:             5:50 pm – 6:00 pm Q&A Session.\nTime:             6:00 pm – 7:30 pm Closing with networking drinks & nibbles. \nFree tickets are available for Students.

Geomechanical analyses identify the likely sand producing intervals\, the timing (pressure conditions) and the severity of sanding. Sanding evaluations are ideally calibrated against field sanding observations. However\, in the absence of field observations\, the validity of geomechanical analyses can be a concern for field development planning\, well design or well intervention decision. This presentation focuses on the credibility of geomechanical sanding risk evaluation\, conducted at appraisal and early field life stages. It includes three field case studies from a range of geological settings\, stress regimes and rock strengths\, well types and operation conditions. The case studies include gas fields from offshore Otway Basin in Victoria\, and offshore Browse Basin and onshore North Perth Basin in Western Australia. The examples demonstrate the validity of geomechanical assessments conducted at early field life that are verified with several years of production later. \nAbout the Speaker \nDr. Abbas Khaksar is a global Geomechanics advisor and subject matter expert in sanding evaluation with Baker Hughes\, based in Perth.  Abbas has 29 years of work experiences and before joining Baker Hughes in 2009 worked for Helix-RDS (2005-09)\, Geomechanics International (GMI\, 2000-05)\, University of Adelaide (1998-2000) and Iran Geological Survey (1989-92). He holds PhD in Rock Physics (1999)\, MSc in Petroleum Geophysics (1994) and BSc in Mining Engineering (1989). He served the WA section of SPE as a board member and continuing education officer from 2012 to 2019. Abbas was a SPE Distinguished Lecturer for 2019-2020 on “Use of Geomechanics for sanding prediction and sand management”. \nAbout the Event\nPrice:             Early Bird SPE Member        $40 \n                       Early Bird Non-Member         $60 \n                       SPE Member                          $50\n                       Non-Member                          $70 \n  \nSpecial Promotion Deal: Buy 1 ticket and bring 1 guest for free!

Low-carbon hydrogen (green hydrogen from renewable energy\, and blue hydrogen from gas with CO2 removal and storage) is touted as a replacement\, with most authors recognising the ‘green’ credentials of hydrogen. However\, as this seminar examines\, the impact of hydrogen generation on water resources in the driest inhabited country on Earth\, Australia\, has the potential to be devastating. This seminar examines the water use for hydrogen\, the laws regulating water at present\, and the deficiencies in such water regulation \nAbout the Speaker\nProfessor Tina Soliman Hunter is the Professor of Energy and Resources Law at Macquarie University\, and the Director of the Centre for Energy and Natural Resources Innovation and Transformation (CENRIT) at Macquarie. She teaches and researches in offshore energy law (both hydrocarbons and renewables)\, infrastructure decommissioning\, energy installations\, facility repurposing\, offshore CCS\, Arctic resources law and policy\, and energy law. Much of her research is multidisciplinary in nature\, and includes working with engineers\, geologists\, and political scientists.  She holds several visiting professor positions and is a member of the Educational Board of the Association of International Energy Negotiators (AIEN)\, a Board member of the Aberdeen chapter of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)\, and an editor of the Journal of International Petroleum Technology. \nAbout the Event (Note: venue is at the Wood Offices)\n\nPrice:           SPE Member                        $20\n                      Non-Member                        $30 \nDate:              Tuesday\, 13 February 2024 \nTime:             11:45am – 12:20pm Registration & Light Lunch\nTime:             12:20pm – 1:00 pm Opening remarks\, presentation and Q&A\nTime:             1:00pm – 2:00 pm  Networking \nFree tickets are available for Students.

The maturation process of an IFDP consists of Framing (identify the opportunity)\, Front-End-Loading (FEL)\, Execution (authorisation)\, Operated and Evaluate and lastly the Abandonment. Each stage of the process can be viewed as “live cycle” and respective value and cost target be re-evaluated. This is to ensure that the IFDP cycle is meant for Value Creation (‘Doing the Right Project’) and for the Value Realisation (‘Doing the Project Right’)\,furthermore\, to ensure the opportunity still holds business value and relevant process remains aligned with the objectives and industry outlook. \nA comprehensive IFDP must deliver (but not limited to) Subsurface Characteristics\, Recoverable Reserve (range)\, Depletion Plan\, Emission Reduction Plan\, Facilities and Flow Assurance Plan\, Risk and Mitigation Plan\, HSE Plan\, Sales and Commercial Plan and Abandonment Plan. In recent years\, the Carbon Sequestration/Storage plan has also become an integral part of IFDP. Key Stakeholders of IFDP must be known and categorised based on their interest and involvements\, and responsibilities in the process. The two important categories of stakeholders are ones who have high interest (economically/commercially) in the project and those who will have voice\, concern or opinions (environmentally etc…). \nThis talk will cover key value drivers and steps for a successful Integrated Fidel development Planning (IFDP) and in context of techno-commerciality objectives of the maturation process. \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nAli Sabzabadi is a Chartered Petroleum Engineer\, with 24 years of experience in the oil and gas industry working on and leading the delivery of field development planning for mature/green oil & gas fields\, and implementing improved oil recovery (IOR) and enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques. He has published and presented several papers in technical conferences and journals (IPTC\, OTC\, APOGCE\, SPE EOR Conferences). \nAli Sabzabadi is a graduate of the Imperial College of London where he studied Masters in Engineering (MEng) in Petroleum Engineering and member of the UK Engineering Council. \nIn his free time\, Ali enjoys Scuba Diving\, biking\, and spending time with his family. \nAbout the Event\nPrice:             Early Bird SPE Member        $40 \n                       Early Bird Non-Member         $60 \n                       SPE Member                         $50\n                       Non-Member                          $70 \nDate:              Tuesday\, 23 January 2024 \nLocation:       Parmelia Hilton Hotel\nLocation:       14 Mill Street\, Perth WA 6000 \nTime:             11:45am – 12:00pm Registration & Networking.\nTime:             12:00pm – 12:45pm Opening remarks and presentation.\nTime:             12:45pm – 1:00pm Q&A Session.\nTime:             1:00pm – 2:30 pm  Networking drinks & nibbles. \nFree tickets are available for Students.

DESCRIPTION:Society of Petroleum Engineers Western Australia is proud to present the details of our December 2023 SPE WA Technical Meeting. \nAbout the Presentation\nMark will deliver a light-hearted whimsical review of the ongoing human energy transition\, reflecting on the role played by energy professionals (Romans) in forever changing the world we live in. Starting in the paleolithic\, when catching and eating animals produced a bigger brain\, only a bunch of cave paintings\, hieroglyphs and a few cartoons of Larsen remain to attest to the beginning. Discovering fire\, the burning of carbon-based materials to gain heat\, cook food and scare the crap out of everything else was when problems began\, pretty much right away. Cutting down most of the trees\, we ate a buffet of wild animals\, whilst rejecting early versions of the paleo diet\, we ruined our teeth. We engineered new weapons we could turn on ourselves when the animals became too few led to millennia of conflict. Life was good but most of us died at birth or in early childhood\, survivors taken out mostly by a variety of sexually transmitted diseases or in pointless bloodthirsty battles\, rich in toxic masculinity. Compulsory superannuation was still in its infancy.\n \nThe Chinese “invented” coal 3500 years ago\, the Romans dabbled after the birth of Christ\, but not until the 18th century did coal really have its moment\, basking in long forgotten sunlight. Powering the industrial revolution\, perfecting child labour and blackening the skies\, mass production and the energy to move it quickly to consumers was delivered. About the same time a crazy colonel struck oil in Pennsylvania\, saving the whales and irrevocably shifting global power away from empire. Soon we had a tiger in our tank\, driving our gas guzzling automobiles to the store to buy pointless trinkets or enjoying a new past-time known as a vacation. The first Black Friday sale was held.\n \nFossil fuels\, more than any other enterprise\, have powered human development\, improving living conditions beyond our wildest imagination\, dramatically increasing human life expectancy. None of this could have been achieved without engineering. For millennia improvements relied on replacing one energy source with a more energy dense and efficient one. How do we transition to future fuel sources that are inherently less dense\, less efficient and with a footprint dwarfing anything that has come before? So\, what have the Romans (aka energy professionals) done for us? What role does a mere rock doctor play in this new world\, do we remain relevant or are we destined to the dust bin of history having done all we could to lay down the next super source rock? \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nDr Mark Lisk – Chief Geoscientist\, Ascendience Geoscience \nMark has experienced a continuous transition throughout his 30-year resource industry career. Joining the down-stream oil business at 16 in a petroleum engineering role\, pumping petrol at the local BP he realised there was way too much maths involved and instead chose to study geology at the University of Auckland. Briefly distracted by the allure of gold\, Mark worked epithermal exploration for BHP in the wild hills of the Coromandel\, dodging drug lords and rabid environmentalists\, before a resource industry reality check with his first redundancy. Returning to the oil patch in 1990 he left NZ for West Island to engage in scientific experiments on the Island of Dr Moreau\, aka CSIRO. Gazing intently at microscopic objects small in stature but with a big story to tell\, he became a true specialist\, knowing absolutely everything about nothing! With a half-finished PhD in tow and clutching his first redundancy cheque he joined Woodside in 2005 just in time for a boom in oil price. Widely\, but mistakenly considered a geochemist\, despite failing organic geochemistry twice at university\, Mark transitioned\, some might say blossomed\, becoming a regional geologist with a focus on Australian basins. His transition to a generalist\, knowing nothing about everything\, was now complete. Yearning to see geology beyond Australia\, a transition to International New Ventures beckoned\, complete with globetrotting travel opportunities. Almost too good to last the winds of Covid blew\, oil price collapsed again\, culminating in yet another redundancy. Cast adrift\, this time in a more palatial lifeboat\, latest redundancy payment providing a suitable cushion\, he took the plunge and started his own company. Now adept at the art of transitioning Mark has discovered a sweet life diversifying into new energies. Adaption is part and parcel of being a successful in the energy business\, where others see doom and gloom\, we see opportunity and with luck\, some free beer. \nAbout the Event\nPrice:             Early Bird SPE Member        $40 \n                       Early Bird Non-Member         $60 \n                       SPE Member                           $50\n                       Non-Member                           $70 \nDate:              Wednesday\, 13 December 2023 \nLocation:       Parmelia Hilton Hotel\nLocation:       14 Mill Street\, Perth WA 6000 \nTime:             4:45pm – 5:00pm Registration & Networking.\nTime:             5:00pm – 5:50pm Opening remarks and presentation.\nTime:             5:50pm – 6:00pm Q&A Session.\nTime:             6:00pm – 7:30 pm  Networking drinks & nibbles. \nFree tickets are available for Students.

In the selection process\, detailed reservoir characterisation of these formations should be undertaken to understand the impact of formation heterogeneity on containment of injected carbon dioxide. A reservoir simulation study was conducted to evaluate the impact of varying net-to-gross ratio\, shale barrier length and formation dip on the subsurface behaviour of injected carbon dioxide in a hypothetical marine sand reservoir model. The study results showed that heterogeneity has a significant impact on the behaviour of the plume and can improve containment of injected carbon dioxide. \n\nAbout the Speaker \nMatthew Flett is a senior reservoir engineer at Chevron Australia.

However\, these evaluation techniques provide dynamic data at different length scales\, and with different environmental footprint\, cost\, and operational constraints.\nTo help reduce development risks\, a Deep Transient Testing (DTT) technique was developed in response to an industry and customer need in 2015 and has been used since then by many oil companies. The method is a hybrid technique between wireline formation testing and Drill Stem Testing (DST) designed to meet local regulatory requirements to unlock reserves. It is based on innovations with higher resolution measurements\, pumping of large fluid volumes on wireline at higher rates\, extending testing time and circulating the produced fluids out of the well for safety and well control\, without the requirement for surface flaring. These features enable dynamic reservoir characterization in thicker formations\, higher permeabilities and with much deeper volume of investigation than previously available.\nPressure transient testing and sampling results from DTT technique is now becoming an important component in operating companies’ reservoir evaluation programs. The DTT technique is embedded in a digital framework to provide early reservoir fluids models and reservoir insights coupled to geological models\, so that well deliverability and prospect commerciality can be evaluated. DTT also aligns with global sustainable development goals\, by enabling reductions in CO2 emissions by up to 96% percent\, and offering high operational efficiency compared with other wireline formation testing systems to significantly reduce energy consumption. \nAbout the Speaker \nFrancois-Xavier Dubost focused for 27 years on reservoir performance evaluation and recently joined the SLB HQ team as Reservoir Technical Director. Graduated from Herriot Watt University with an MSc in Reservoir Evaluation and Management\, Francois has been looking at all angles of reservoir engineering topics from acquisition to interpretation and incorporation of the measurements into field models. He recently dedicated his interests in the field of Deep Transient Testing\, introducing this topic to the industry with the first published papers\, presenting it in different expert meetings and lectures\, and acting as a leader internationally to develop this new technique. Francois co-authored over 30 publications and filed over 10 patents predominantly on Formation Testing & Sampling. \nAbout the Event\nPrice:             Early Bird SPE Member        $40 \n                       Early Bird Non-Member         $60 \n                       SPE Member                           $50\n                       Non-Member                           $70 \nDate:              Lunch Time on Tuesday\, 3 October 2023 \nLocation:       Parmelia Hilton Hotel\nLocation:       14 Mill Street\, Perth WA 6000 \nTime:             11:45am – 12:10 pm Registration & Networking.\nTime:             12:10pm – 12:50pm Opening remarks and presentation.\nTime:             12:50pm – 1:00 pm Q&A Session.\nTime:             1:00pm – 2:00 pm  Networking drinks & nibbles. \nFree tickets are available for Students.

Surveillance using tracer solutions truly provide continuous multi-scale monitoring from a well to reservoir scale.  It utilizes flow through porous media and pipe flow in wells as the telemetry method to transport the signals to the sampling point. Therefore\, tracer technology is a viable alternative as permanent monitoring technology of choice for well surveillance in today’s field developments\, and it is a risk-free solution from both planning and deployment perspectives. In terms of reservoir surveillance\, inter well tracers not only provide an understanding of the preferential flow paths between injectors and production wells on a field wide scale\, they also provide a method of understanding reservoir connectivity\, verifying suspected flow barriers\, characterizing flood patterns\, estimating residual oil saturations between wells and analyzing the effects of volumetric sweep efficiency. \nMore recently\, interwell tracers have been used to monitor leakage from CO2 storage reservoirs and used in carbon accounting practices. Inflow tracing is designed to evaluate near wellbore flow performance such as verifying clean up\, identifying the location of water/gas breakthrough over time and quantifying flow. The co-implementation of both tracer technologies in the early stage of waterflood or EOR development offers unique ability to monitor wells/reservoir\, eliminating the need for expensive and time-consuming wireline interventions and overcome any wellsite logistics challenges.  An increased adoption of integrating inter well and inflow tracer interpretation can reduce uncertainty in history matching well/reservoir models and thus improve reservoir management strategies using assisted history matching tools or optimisers based on results obtained from the tracer signal responses. This presentation will discuss tracer project conceptualization\, design\, analysis workflow and implementation of combining inflow and interwell tracers. \nSpeaker – Edmund Leung\n\nEdmund Leung is currently the Senior Technology Advisor with RESMAN\, based in Perth\, Australia since June 2022. He was previously Vice President for Well Technology leading the RESMAN flow-related interpretation and R&D team\, based in Trondheim in Norway.

DESCRIPTION:DESCRIPTION \nSuitable for \nAll people who provide information for\, or make\, decisions under conditions of novelty\, uncertainty or complexity – from relatively minor decisions (e.g. to collect data\, do “studies”\, hire a team member)\, through “project” level decisions (e.g. exploration\, production enhancement) up to major decisions (eg field development\, M&A\, strategy\, portfolio).  It is equally applicable to personal decisions! \nContext \nBusiness outcomes are largely determined by two factors: the decisions we make and uncertainties over which we have no control.  The best we can do to get good outcomes is to make good decisions – but would you know a good decision if you saw one? Like many other disciplines\, good decision-making ability does not arise from “natural talent”\, rather\, from learning and developing a set of skills and “tools”\, honed by experience.  However\, most people have not been taught how to do this and they do not just “stumble across” it. \nContent \nBusiness outcomes are largely determined by two factors: the decisions we make and uncertainties over which we have no control.  The best we can do to get good outcomes is to make good decisions – but would you know a good decision if you saw one? Like many other disciplines\, good decision-making ability does not arise from “natural talent”\, rather\, from learning and developing a set of skills and “tools”\, honed by experience.  However\, most people have not been taught how to do this and they do not just “stumble across” it. \nThe workshop will introduce key concepts in Decision Analysis (DA) and the Decision Dialogue Process (DDP) – a non-proprietary\, rigorous (scientifically underpinned) approach to decision-making\, used for over 50 years in a variety of sectors (oil & gas\, pharmaceuticals\, IT\, military\, aviation\, sport\, environmental management ….. ) for decisions whose outcomes are not fully predictable and which must be made within time & budget constraints. \nIt consists of a prescriptive\, pragmatic methodology (process and tools) that is decision-agnostic and entirely scalable in that It balances the effort/cost of making a decision against its importance/consequences/ difficulty/cost.  Thus\, it is applicable to a wide range of decisions – one paradigm fits all\, but one size does not! \nAttendees will be expected to respond to questions about decision-making and engage in small group discussions and exercises – and take way some immediately implementable ideas for improving their decisions and thus chances of getting desired outcomes. \n  \nFeatured Speaker \nSteve Begg is an oil and gas industry expert on decision-making under uncertainty\, including asset and portfolio economic assessments and the psychology of decision-making\, particularly bias assessment and mitigation.  He is co-author of the book\, “Making Good Decisions”\, commissioned by the Society of Petroleum Engineers. \nHe is an Emeritus Professor of Petroleum Engineering and Management at the Australian School of Petroleum at the University of Adelaide\, where he has worked since 2002. Before joining the university\, Steve was Director for Decision Science and Strategic Planning with Landmark Graphics Corporation (a Halliburton company) where he was responsible for leading improved economic evaluation and decision-making for both Landmark and its customers.  Earlier\, he worked with BP for 13 years\, the last 6 of which were spent in a variety of senior geo-science and engineering operational assignments in Alaska\, which spanned production forecasting\, economic evaluation\, petroleum engineering\, and reservoir characterization roles. He also spent seven years as a researcher and Project Manager with BP Research\, where his focus was on risk and uncertainty assessment related to reservoir modelling.  His decision-making expertise is grounded in his understanding of the industry\, surface and subsurface. \nSteve is a frequent speaker at industry conferences and delivers in-house short-courses on decision-making and economic evaluation topics.  In 2003 he was a SPE Distinguished Lecturer on the topic “I would rather be vaguely right than precisely wrong: a new approach to investment decision-making” and was so again in 2011 on the topic “Reliability of Expert Judgements and Uncertainty Assessments”. \nIn 2000 he chaired an SPE Forum on the topic of “Adding Value by Leveraging Risk\, Options and Portfolio Management” and later Chaired the SPE Forum Co-ordinating Committee.  He currently sits on the SPE M&I Discipline Committee and the SPE Distinguished Lecturer Committee. In 2014 he was elected to the Board of the Society of Decision Professionals. \nSteve has published numerous papers on topics such as: decision-making under uncertainty; asset and portfolio investment evaluation/economics; psychological factors in judgement & decision-making (bias assessment and mitigation when eliciting subject-matter-expert opinions’ and uncertainty assessments); and reservoir characterization (heterogeneity/uncertainty modelling and up-scaling). He was instrumental in starting the SPE Economics and Management journal.  His contributions to decision-making and economic evaluation have been recognized by receiving the SPE Asia-Pacific regional award\, and in 2016 the SPE’s top International Award for the Management and Information discipline. \nSteve holds a PhD degree in Geophysics and a BSc degree in Geological Geophysics from Reading University and has attended executive education short courses at MIT and the University of Texas at Austin. \n \nEvent Run Sheet \n\nRegistration open from 8:30 am\nMasterclass start from 9:00 am\nMasterclass finish at 1:00 pm\n\nCost: \nSPE Members:                                $95.00 \nNon-members:                                 $120.00 URL:https://www.spe-wa.org/event/making-good-decisions-half-day-masterclass-would-you-know-a-good-decision-if-you-saw-one/ LOCATION:Pamelia Hilton Hotel\, 14 Mill St\, Perth\, WA\, 6000\, Australia CATEGORIES:Professional Development ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.spe-wa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Masterclass.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Perth:20230824T113000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Perth:20230824T133000 DTSTAMP:20230804T061714Z CREATED:20230803T121647Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230804T061714Z UID:33368-1692876600-1692883800@www.spe-wa.org SUMMARY:Tech 101 Series - Inflatable Packers and their applications DESCRIPTION:Synopsis\n\nThe SPE Young Professionals Tech101 series is an event primarily targeted at entry to mid-level engineers within the oil and gas community\, to provide “101” level education on topics across the industry. \nProfessionals of all experience levels are open to come\, but keep in mind materials presented are catered to young professionals. \nAbstract\n\nIn the oil and gas industry\, the need for efficient and effective wellbore isolation and zonal isolation techniques is paramount.

First gas production in February CY23 from the Vali field in the Cooper  Basin was  a significant milestone for Metgasco and achieved our goal of pivoting from being an explorer to becoming a gas producer and delivering Metgasco’s maiden revenue. The nearby Odin gas field is anticipated to start production via the Vali facilities  in Q3 CY23 . In 2023 Metgasco and its partners will deliver two new gas sources to the undersupplied East Coast Gas market. \nThis presentation describes the key sub-surface and commercial catalysts which delivered  a staged process of value creation by Metgasco\, from the initial gazettal application in 2016 for the ATP2021 permit \, technical appraisal\, farm-out (ATP2021) and farm-in (PRL211)  deals and\, with our partners\, delivering 100% success from four exploration and appraisal drilling program during CY20 & CY21. The presentation will provide an overview of  how the joint venture unlocked the gas productivity from the low permeability Permian (Patchawarra) reservoir in Vali-1  which helped  the decision to proceed with the Vali field commercialisation\,  delivering discovery to revenue generation in approximately three years. \nAbout the Speaker – Ken Aitken\nKen holds a BSc in Mechanical Engineering from Heriot-Watt University and has over 35 years of international and domestic experience in onshore and offshore oil and gas developments in technical\, leadership and executive roles.

Dive into the Future of Energy with Two Captivating Presentations.\n\nEnergy Literacy for the Energy Transition\nEnergy is one of the hot button topics of the day. Our news feeds are filled with energy-related stories\, often liberally sprinkled with terms like firming\, storage\, intermittency and capacity factor\, as well as the basic terms “power” and “energy” – which sadly are often confused. Intermingled with the jargon is a plethora of units and acronyms: kW\, kWh\, PJ\, eV\, EV\, LNG\, BESS and FESS and hundreds more. Without delving too far into the physics\, Nick’s talk will provide some clarity around the basic concepts of energy and power\, and show several examples to help sense check some of claims and counter claims that are made in this politically contentious field. \nSpeaker – Nick Last\nNick Last is a petroleum engineer and co-founder of the consultancy Well Test Knowledge International (WTKI). He has consulted for numerous operators in the APAC region\, specialising in the evaluation of wells and reservoirs. His interest in broader energy matters was sparked during a road trip through WA a few years ago\, which by chance passed by the Emu Downs wind and solar farms. Despite working for decades in the energy industry\, he suddenly realised that he didn’t really understand the nature of the power they produced\, or how they fitted into our energy system. Since then he’s devoted considerable time to rectifying that knowledge deficit. Nick has a BSc. In Physics from Imperial College\, London\, and he currently serves on the SPE WA Gaia sub-committee. \n\nAustralia’s Energy Transition: Risks and Opportunities\nThe energy transition is well underway in Australia\, driven by our commitment to reduce emissions under the Paris Agreement and also rising pressure from banks and investors for companies to play their part in helping decarbonize our economy in a swift and orderly manner. With the physical impacts of climate change becoming increasingly apparent in Australia and globally\, there is a pressing need to accelerate the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy. Leveraging Rystad Energy’s data and analysis on the Australian and global energy markets\, Sally will outline where we are in the transition process and the challenges and opportunities this poses for our energy industry. \nSpeaker – Sally Bogle\nSally Bogle is a Senior Editor with Rystad Energy’s Analytics team with a primary focus on the APAC region. Sally has longstanding experience as an energy journalist\, copywriter\, researcher and editor specializing in gas & LNG\, renewables\, climate risk disclosure\, electrification and energy transition technologies. Prior to joining Rystad Energy\, she worked as a writer and researcher for a range of private and public sector organizations globally\, including Accenture\, IHS Markit (CERA Global Insight)\, the International Energy Agency\, RSM\, L.E.K.\, Futureproof Consulting\, Monash University\, and Endeavour Mining. She has also written as a journalist for FT Energy\, S&P Global Platts\, Petroleum Economist\, Guardian Australia\, lnterfax Global Energy Service\, Schwartz Media and others. \n\nAbout the Event\nPrice:             SPE Member           $40\n                       Non-Member          $60       \nDate:              Thursday\, 17 August 2023 \nLocation:       Parmelia Hilton Hotel   14 Mill Street\, Perth WA 6000 \nTime:             16:45 am – 17:00 pm Registration & Networking.\n                       17:00 pm – 18:15 pm Introduction and presentation\n                       18:15 pm – 19:30 pm Closing with networking drinks & nibbles. \nFree tickets are available for Students. SPE WA in conjunction with our sponsors is kindly sponsoring students to attend the monthly technical events.
