<strong>Workshop</strong> Description<br />
As the giant oil and gas fields <strong>of</strong> the world mature, the monitoring <strong>of</strong> production-related changes<br />
becomes crucial to sustain, optimise and improve their immense production levels. The <strong>Society</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Petroleum</strong> <strong>Engineers</strong> (SPE) and <strong>Society</strong> <strong>of</strong> Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) are the organisers <strong>of</strong> this<br />
workshop, in a first joint effort <strong>of</strong> its kind. This workshop will take a multidisciplinary approach to<br />
discuss the more relevant advances in the application <strong>of</strong> concepts, models, techniques, workflows and<br />
decision processes related to the monitoring <strong>of</strong> hydrocarbon reservoirs, with a focus on the applications<br />
and possible consequences for giant fields.<br />
As a result <strong>of</strong> recent developments, the integration <strong>of</strong> time-lapsed petroleum engineering data and<br />
dynamic models with geophysical data is the key element for the quantitative interpretation <strong>of</strong> the<br />
changes in reservoirs parameters that result from production and depletion strategies applied through<br />
time. Not all monitoring techniques and successful cases have been developed for giant fields, for<br />
different reasons, and this workshop will analyse the applicability and challenges to expand time-lapse<br />
monitoring to large-scale reservoirs and areas.<br />
The workshop will encompass the best practices, successful case histories and also lessons learnt in<br />
the following topics:<br />
• Time-lapse geophysical and petroleum engineering monitoring<br />
• Saturation, pressure and compaction detection and changes through time<br />
• Effects <strong>of</strong> production in raw and modelled engineering and geophysical data<br />
• Up-scaling from well to seismic in dynamic modelling<br />
• Recent case-histories and examples <strong>of</strong> time-lapse applications feasible for giant fields<br />
• Research in rock physics, seismic processing, coupled flow-geomechanics and well logging for<br />
time-lapse monitoring purposes<br />
• New tools and emerging technologies in reservoir monitoring<br />
• Economics and challenges <strong>of</strong> time-lapse monitoring for application in giant fields<br />
This workshop will bring together a number <strong>of</strong> global experts in reservoir monitoring to discuss the<br />
technical and economic feasibility <strong>of</strong> these applications, issues and challenges. The workshop will also<br />
provide the opportunity to assess and discuss different case studies and pilots <strong>of</strong> worldwide relevance.<br />
Participants will be able to exchange ideas and build a network <strong>of</strong> resources from different countries and<br />
companies useful for monitoring giant fields.<br />

WORKSHOP<br />
SPE/SEG Joint <strong>Workshop</strong>: Giant Fields Monitoring and Development<br />
Schedule<br />
Sunday, 10 April 2011<br />
1700–1800 hours Steering Committee Meeting<br />
1800–1900 hours Speakers/Session Chairmen Meeting<br />
Monday, 11 April 2011<br />
0800–0900 hours Badge Collection and Welcome C<strong>of</strong>fee<br />
0900–0905 hours Safety Briefing & Fire Exit Information<br />
0905–0930 hours Welcome Address and Opening Remarks<br />
0930–1230 hours Session 1: Data Acquisition for Monitoring Purposes<br />
Major assets present unique challenges in designing acquiring and gaining approval for monitoring field studies. Existing infrastructure and field history can<br />
present obstacles requiring careful deployment for data acquisition. This session will emphasise fit-for-purpose solutions in acquiring and processing data using<br />
appropriate technologies for reservoir management in mature fields.<br />
1230–1330 hours Luncheon and Posters<br />
1330–1630 hours Session 2: Integration and Interpretation<br />
Production effects can be monitored and inferred by using various techniques from both surface and subsurface measurement/acquisition systems. This<br />
session will focus on integrating these different observations to better understand field behaviour, propose adjustments to existing static and dynamic models<br />
and optimise further developments. Case studies will emphasise practical implementations <strong>of</strong> these advanced techniques reconciling surface and subsurface<br />
recorded production induced effects.<br />
1630–1730 hours Networking/Dinner<br />
Tuesday, 12 April 2011<br />
0830–0900 hours Welcome C<strong>of</strong>fee<br />
0900–1100 hours Session 3: New Developments and Applications – Panel Session<br />
This session will cover the new techniques, tools, and methods that have a relevant role in the quantification <strong>of</strong> changes in the reservoir through time. Recent<br />
technological advances from industry and academia will be shown, demonstrating the added value they bring to the monitoring processes, efforts and results<br />
for the field development <strong>of</strong> green and mature fields. Pilot tests and results in addition to case histories <strong>of</strong> implementation at full field scale, will be discussed.<br />
Revolutionary advances from other science and technical areas will be considered, as they could bring a new approach to the oilfield monitoring studies,<br />
expediting results or minimising costs.<br />
1100–1130 hours C<strong>of</strong>fee Break and Posters<br />
1130–1330 hours Session 4: Economics – Panel Session<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the most important aspects <strong>of</strong> an effective monitoring project is the economic feasibility <strong>of</strong> its application at field scale. The oil price has been a triggering<br />
factor in the approval and implementation <strong>of</strong> many monitoring projects, due to the high costs <strong>of</strong> seismic and non-seismic acquisition in a repeated, time-lapse<br />
framework. The quantification <strong>of</strong> the added value <strong>of</strong> information in relation to the several parameters <strong>of</strong> development <strong>of</strong> an oilfield is therefore crucial to the<br />
approval process <strong>of</strong> these kinds <strong>of</strong> projects within the oil companies. The analysis <strong>of</strong> cost-value relation in monitoring projects will be addressed in this panel<br />
session, where best practices will be discussed by international panelists that will bring their experience and different corporate approaches to this important<br />
matter.<br />
1330–1400 hours Luncheon<br />
1600–1830 hours Visit to Burj Khalifa and Downtown Area (Timing TBC)<br />
Wednesday, 13 April 2011<br />
0830–0900 hours Welcome C<strong>of</strong>fee<br />
0900–1200 hours Session 5: Successful Modelling and Feasibility Studies for Monitoring<br />
A successful field development <strong>of</strong> a giant field relies heavy on successful reservoir simulation. Usually static geological models are huge and capture more<br />
detail. It is a significant challenge to retain geological complexities during up-scaling and requires sophisticated s<strong>of</strong>tware and advanced computing power.<br />
Successful history match 4D seismic has been proved a very useful tool for helping history match. Presently, it is accepted the 4D in carbonates is very difficult<br />
due to the nature <strong>of</strong> the rock. It is critical to perform a feasibility study, which usually requires good rock physics such as gassmann fluid substitution. If the<br />
feasibility study is positive, successful 4D campaign requires detailed interpretation and comprehensive integration, results interpretation will provide critical<br />
value to static and dynamic modelling.<br />
1200–1300 hours Luncheon and Posters<br />
1300–1500 hours Session 6: Managing Uncertainty: Risk and Environment<br />
This session will focus on the role <strong>of</strong> monitoring in mitigating environmental and safety risks. The need for monitoring has expanded to cover a broader<br />
spectrum within the industry in the past few years. Focused monitoring will result in better production optimisation and well integrity. This will collectively<br />
result in a higher recovery rate, yet at a higher cost and associated data management challenges especially in giant fields.<br />
