Education Days London 20172


Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Board of the Euro-pean Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE), I am pleased to introduce our multiple short course programme ‘Education Days London 2017’, which will take place on 13-17 March 2017 in London, UK.

The event consists of multiple one-day and two-day short courses delivered by distinguished geoscientists and profes-sionals. The courses are carefully selected to ensure a consist-ent programme which appeals to a broad geoscience and en-gineering audience. Multiple courses and topics are offered during the week, thus ensuring that all attendees can custom-ize an educational programme appropriate to their own needs and interests.

Education Days are an ideal platform to increase knowledge and awareness of new methodologies for geoscience special-ists. The short courses do not only reflect the latest scientific development in geosciences, but also demonstrate applica-tions of these theories to real-life problems.

This year the event will be held near London Gatwick Airport, to ensure easy accessibility for all participants.

I strongly encourage you to participate in one or more short courses during the EAGE Education Days in London. I am sure that you will have an excellent experience in attending the EAGE Education Days London 2017. I look forward to seeing you there!

Jörg HerwangerEducation Officer (EAGE Board)

Accreditation

In March 2013, EAGE became the first official Continuing Pro-fessional Development (CPD) Provider of the ‘European Ge-ologist’ title, which is a professional accreditation established by the European Federation of Geologists (EFG). In order to obtain and maintain this title, the holder must provide a re-cord of high quality CPD activities, which include short courses like the ones presented in this brochure. For an overview of the provided points for EAGE Short Courses and for more in-formation about this accreditation system and correspond-ing EAGE learning activities, please visit www.eage.org and www.learninggeoscience.org.

Short Course Programme

Monday 13 March – Tuesday 14 March

An Introduction to Migration and Velocity Model BuildingDr Ian Jones (ION)

CPD POINTS: 10CROSS DISCIPLINE DRILLING GEOCHEMISTRY GEOLOGY GEOPHYSICS MINING




Course DescriptionThe course will begin with a review of migration and then move on to cover the motivations for building detailed velocity mod-els, and briefly discuss the inherent limitations on our ability to build a detailed model. Current-day practice will be covered, ex-emplified via several case-studies and will end with a synopsis of the less well known and emerging techniques. Following the course, participants should understand how migration works, in terms of the approximations involved, and how this relates to the geology to be imaged, and also appreciate the limitations of current and future imaging and velocity estimation technology, so as to be able to decide what model building technique should be employed to image a given geological objective.

Participants’ ProfileGeophysicists with an interest in migration and velocity model building and geologists (with a basic knowledge of data pro-cessing) who want to understand a bit more about how the images they look at are created.

Monday 13 March – Tuesday 14 March

Seismic Sequence StratigraphyDr Klaus Fischer (Wintershall)









Course DescriptionThe course gives a general introduction to the method of se-quence stratigraphy with a special focus on seismic stratigraphy. It gives a detailed overview on the methods of seismic sequence analysis, its merits and its limitations. The methodology of seis-mic facies analysis and its potential use for facies prediction in the subsurface is explained. The course is focusing on the practi-cal application of the seismic stratigraphic interpretation meth-od, and gives an overview of a variety of potential tools avail-able in modern interpretation systems which can be used within the workflow in order to support the interpreter.

Participants’ ProfileGeoscientists involved in seismic interpretation for basin analysis / E&P and reservoir engineers who need more in-depth knowledge of flow units and depositional environments.

Wednesday 15 March

Advanced Marine Seismic Acquisition TechniquesDr Mike Branston (Schlumberger)





Course DescriptionThe course is designed to familiarize the student with the lat-est developments in Marine Seismic Acquisition including Wide-Azimuth with its many geometry variants, Broadband techniques (boosting the high and low frequencies), seabed receivers for both P-wave and Converted-wave recording, time-lapse surveys and the emerging technology of simultaneous source acquisition.A practical approach is adopted and is designed to give the stu-dent an up-to-date understanding of recent developments in ma-rine seismic acquisition technology. At the end of the course the participant should be able to understand why and where these new technologies would be applicable, understand what studies are required to design new surveys and understand the relative costs of acquiring and processing the seismic data compared to conventional acquisition.

Participants’ ProfileThe course is designed for geophysicists and explorationists who wish to gain an overview of recent developments in 3D marine seismic acquisition.

Wednesday 15 March

Reservoir Model Design – How to Build Good Reservoir ModelsDr Mark Bentley (AGR TRACS)













Course DescriptionIn this course, Mark Bentley shares his insights into building geological reservoir models, covering clastic and carbonate sedi-mentary depositional systems, as well as fractured reservoirs. The connection between geology and fluid flow is developed with a focus on designing fit-for-purpose models with consideration of implications for single-phase and multiphase flow, and with examples of application to oil and gas reservoirs and to CO2 storage. Integration of seismic data, well data and dynamic data with associated uncertainties are integral to the workflows and methods discussed. This is a shorter version of a five-day course and is intended as an introduction to the main concepts.

Participants’ ProfileGeologists, Geophysicists, Petrophysicists, or Reservoir Engi-neers who have or wish to work in multi-disciplinary teams on reservoir development projects.


Thursday 16 March – Friday 17 March

4D Seismic for Reservoir ManagementDr Ian Jack









Course DescriptionDuring two days’ of intensive study of time-lapse seismic (4D) methodology, the course will bring participants up-to-date with the current state of the technology and will give the at-tendees the knowledge they need in order to participate and make decisions on any aspect of 4D technology. The course is designed to appeal to a wide audience and is most interesting for geoscientists involved in acquisition and processing.

Participants’ ProfileThe course is aimed principally at geoscientists who wish tobe able to commission 4D projects or to work with them suc-cessfully. It will also be useful for reservoir engineers and pe-trophysicists and for those who need to steer the direction ofseismic technology in their companies.

Thursday 16 March – Friday 17 March

Rock Physics and Computational GeophysicsDr José Carcione (INOGS)

CPD POINTS: 10













Course DescriptionThis course presents the fundamentals of physics and numeri-cal simulation of wave propagation in anisotropic, anelastic and porous media. The emphasis is on geophysical applications for hydrocarbon exploration, but researchers in the fields of earth-quake seismology, rock acoustics and material science may also find this course useful. Moreover, the course illustrates the use of seismic and EM modelling, with an account of the numerical algo-rithms for computing the synthetic seismograms and radargrams, including applications in the field of geophysical prospecting, seis-mology and rock physics.

Participants’ ProfileThe course is useful for geologists, geophysicists, petrophysi-cists, reservoir engineers, mathematicians and physicists.
