Developments with subsurface data

Finding better ways to work with subsurface data

Organised by Digital Energy Journal

Tuesday, March 13, 2012, Aberdeen, Aberdeen Marriott Hotel

If it is your job to help your company manage and get more out of its reservoirs, our conference is designed for you. To help you work out ways to make your company's data work harder.

You've heard about the dream of a fully integrated data system for subsurface, including all exploration data, well data and models, with everybody working on the same data set.

Is this dream still worth working towards - and how much do new super-powerful database systems (such as Oracle's Exadata and Teradata's own database) make it easier to achieve?

Hear ideas about how other companies get better at managing data about their reservoirs.

Meet colleagues from other companies who work with subsurface data.

Find ways to manage reservoir data which are simpler, cheaper and potentially better.

If you think it might be possible to do better with how we manage subsurface data, register now for the conference.

This is our second conference on subsurface data management, following the first event we held in London on April 20 2011, which attracted delegates from BP, Centrica, EOG Resources, Perenco, RPS Energy, SASOL and Schlumberger among others. (See photos from that event).

KEY TOPICS

Integrating subsurface data
We are still a long way from being able to integrate all of the available subsurface data into one model - if it is to include all types of seismic (including passive seismic, microseismic, permanent monitoring); well and production data; gravity and electromagnetics. How can this be accelerated?

High performance data management + cloud
We have new computer and database tools coming onto the market which can process and move large amounts of data much faster. What implications does this have on subsurface data management, in terms of making it faster to process data, making it easier to move data around the company (including remote access), making it easier to integrate data, allowing larger reservoir models, and making it easier for geologists to work on their models in the airport? Are companies willing to commit the budgets required to purchase such systems?
