Reservoir Modeling Enrichment Workflow Built on Collaborative Data Exchange Standards Demonstrated at SEG Annual Conference

HOUSTON and ANAHEIM, Calif., Oct. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- A live demonstration of a collaborative workflow from structural model to full reservoir simulation and time lapse visualization will be demonstrated on the High Performance Computing Theatre (booth 341) at the Society of Exploration Geophysicists' Annual Conference and Exhibition in Anaheim, California. Two presentations will take place, at 2 PM Monday the 15^th and 11 am Tuesday the 16^th. Jay Hollingsworth, CTO of Energistics, will provide the introductory talk ahead of the live demonstration.

The workflow leverages the data formats and metadata specifications of the industry-defined RESQMLtm data exchange format. As the model and associated data are moved from one application to the next, the standards ensure that knowledge is retained and shared such that the geoscientists and engineers operating the different software packages in the workflow have a full understanding of all prior steps in the workflow and can confirm that the final result is complete.

This pilot project is an initiative of the RESQML Special Interest Group working within the Energistics Consortium. Its purpose is to demonstrate the maturity of RESQML and encourage other companies to adopt and advance the standard. The pilot project involved the contribution of professionals from consortium members Emerson-Roxar, Emerson-Paradigm, IFP-Beicip, Schlumberger Information Systems, Computer Modelling Group and Dynamic Graphics Inc, and software from all these companies is used during the demonstration.

The Kepler Field dataset located in the Gulf of Mexico was graciously made available for this pilot project by consortium members BP (operator) and Shell (partner). The demonstration will run live using the Amazon Web Services cloud.
