Total E&P Qatar recently organised a high-level geomodeling training course for its employees and its partners, namely Qatar Petroleum (QP), Qatargas and Dolphin Energy. The aim of this course was to present a global geomodeling workflow -- from the necessary prior synthesis of geophysical & geological (G&G) and dynamic data to uncertainty management and links with reservoir flow simulation. The course was held as part of the yearly training programme of Total Research Centre Qatar (TRC-Q).
Total assigned one of its specialists in reservoir geology, Eric Tawile, to deliver the course. Tawile has experience in reservoir modelling strategy and methodology as well as uncertainty management, and is a co-inventor with six patents in this field.
“I was delighted to present to QP, Qatargas and Dolphin Energy our expertise on ways to achieve a coherent numerical geomodel (static or dynamic). We hope that the lecture would help our partners in always having more-efficient projects related to modeling of hydrocarbon fields,” he said.
“We are pleased to have this opportunity to share our knowledge and experience in geomodeling with our partners,” said Philippe Julien, Director of TRC-Q. “This is TRC-Q’s second high-level training for this year, and we will continue to conduct such trainings for our employees and partners – QP, Qatargas, Dolphin Energy, Qatar Petrochemical Company (Qapco) and Qatofin -- as per our yearly training program, which includes about 10 courses. In the second half of June 2014, a third high-level training for this year will be given focusing on rock mechanics.”
