There will be no LPS meeting in August. We are taking our customary summer holiday. Our
next evening meeting will therefore be on Monday 17th September when Dr Branko Bijeljic
of IC will be our speaker. He will report on the latest work from IC's Pore Scale Modelling
Research group, with emphasis on the petrophysical aspects of C02 injection/sequestration as
a potential tertiary oil recovery scheme, a hot topic as our industry looks to be more carbon
neutral in the future. A fuller abstract will follow next month.
LPS Autumn One Day Seminar
The LPS autumn seminar; "Integrating Rock Physics with Petrophysics for Improved
Reservoir Characterisation", is scheduled for Thursday 27th September at the Geological
Society at Burlington House, Picadilly.
Who Should Attend?
Petrophysicists, geologists, reservoir engineers, and geophysicists.
Why?
Integrating petrophysics with rock physics plays a critical role in providing the necessary
information for reservoir engineers, geologists, and geophysicists to intelligently judge the
risks and opportunities involved with developing a well or an entire field.
Petrophysics and rock physics can identify rock properties necessary to construct a model of
the subsurface, directly reduce risk, improve process efficiency, enhance overall production,
and increase the rate of return of economic assets.
The technical program includes:
An introduction to rock physics; Data acquisition programs for successful geomechanics
projects; Acoustic measurements on core; Pore pressure prediction, Wellbore stability
analysis, Coupled geomechanical and production simulation modelling; Stress dependency of
mechanical and petrophysical rock properties; Fluid substitution in shaley sands; The
application of rock-physics modelling to AVO interpretation, Petro-elastic modelling for 4D
seismic interpretation.
Presentations by:
Schlumberger, Rock Deformation Research Group (RDR), Petro-Canada, Ikon Science, Rock
Physics Associates, The Herriot-Watt institute of Petroleum Engineering, Fugro-Jason,
Schlumberger, SINTEF Petroleum Research, GeoMechanics International Inc, and others. A
keynote speech will be provided by Colin McPhee of Senergy Ltd.
