RPS has 5 classroom courses running in Q4 in central Stavanger.
MODERN COMPLETION AND PRODUCTION ENHANCEMENT TECHNIQUES
- Date: 16 - 20 Oct 2023
- Start Time: 08:30
- Location: Stavanger
- Instructor: Jonathan Bellarby
Business impact: Participants on this course will derive an understanding of wells and completions, allowing for more accurate production performance assessments, as well as better risk mitigation and management.
Key topics include the completions scope and types, inflow performance, perforating, stimulation and sand controls, vertical and artificial lift, production chemistry, well integration and completion equipment and installation.
WORKFLOWS FOR SEISMIC RESERVOIR CHARACTERISATION
- Date: 23 - 27 Oct 2023
- Start Time: 08:30
- Location: Stavanger
- Instructor: Patrick Connolly
Summary
Business Impact: Application of the learnings of this course will empower participants to better delineate reservoir and pay distribution, which is of particular use during reservoir appraisal, development and production.
This course provides participants with the skills to design and execute workflows to achieve optimal seismic reservoir characterisation results. The course addresses seismic conditioning to enhance the data and seismic inversion to make quantitive estimates of reservoir properties. Coloured inversion and a comprehensive review of AVO methods including extended elastic impedance are also covered. Furthermore, the course provides a review of seismic inversion methods, including both conventional deterministic methods and the latest Bayesian probabilistic approaches.
PETROLEUM ECONOMICS, RISK AND UNCERTAINTY
- Date: 7 - 9 Nov 2023
- Start Time: 09:00
- Location: Stavanger
- Instructor: Pete Smith
Summary
Business impact: Participants in this course will develop an understanding of economic evaluation techniques and their related financial concepts that are used in business to assist decision making in the face of risk and uncertainty. This will allow volumes to be converted to value and an assessment can be made of whether, for example, additional reservoir appraisal is worthwhile.
The course focusses on the fundamentals of estimating risk and uncertainty to improve decision making and introduces both probabilistic and deterministic approaches. Included, is the examination of factors contributing to uncertainty throughout subsurface, drilling, facilities, production cost and economics. The underlying conjecture is that if a greater understanding of risks and uncertainty can be developed then unwanted surprises in delivering estimates of production, reserves and value can be lessened.
GEOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION OF WELL LOGS
- Date: 13 - 17 Nov 2023
- Start Time: 09:00
- Location: Stavanger
- Instructors: Jenny Garnham, Martin Kennedy
Summary
Business Impact: The ultimate objectives of this course are to be able to use sets of well logs to establish robust correlation schemes, guide well placement and derive property inputs for geological modelling. These skills will enable participants to reduce risk, understand uncertainty, improve success rates, and reduce costs throughout the life cycle of subsurface projects.
This course is an introduction to the principles and applications of conventional well logs. It shows how combinations of logs can be used to interpret mineralogy, lithology, facies, depositional environments and key sequence stratigraphic markers such as flooding surfaces. Sessions start by considering the individual measurements but as the course progresses there is an increasing emphasis on combinations of measurements and the trends with depth. The climax of the course is an exercise to produce a robust correlation scheme using data from three wells.
Participants will receive a digital copy of the text book “Geological Interpretation of Well Logs” by Malcolm Rider and Martin Kennedy.
PVT: Concepts, Methods, and Applications
- Date: 28 - 30 Nov 2023
- Start Time: 09:00
- Location: Stavanger
- Instructor: Bahman Tohidi
Summary
Business impact: Participants on this course will add value to their businesses through resource estimation, reservoir simulation, and data-driven decision-making.
The course covers reservoir fluid composition, phase behaviour and reservoir fluids classification; PVT tests and correlations/modelling; the evaluation and application of PVT reports; Equation of State tuning, PVT analysis by compositional methods using a compositional behaviour model; applications in reservoir simulation. There will be a discussion of potential causes of errors and several case studies.
