    PHYSICS EMBEDDED MACHINE LEARNING FOR MODELING AND OPTIMIZATION OF OIL AND GAS ASSETS by Dr. Pallav Sarma

    Data Physics is the amalgamation of the state-of-the-art in machine learning and the same underlying physics present in reservoir simulators. These models can be created as efficiently as machine learning models, integrate all kinds of data, and can be evaluated orders of magnitude faster than full scale simulation models, and since they include similar underlying physics as simulators, they have good long term predictive capacity. We present applications of Data Physics models to a complex waterflood field in Argentina, wherein, the injectant is redistributed to maximize/minimize multiple objectives. A significant increase in actual incremental oil production and reduction in operational cost is demonstrated. Additonal applications to infill drilling optimization and subsurface back allocation are also discussed.

    BIO OF THE SPEAKER: Dr. Pallav Sarma is Co-Founder and Chief Scientist at Tachyus responsible for the modeling and optimization technologies underlying the Tachyus platform. He is a renowned expert in closed-loop reservoir management, with multiple patents and papers on various topics including simulation, optimization, data assimilation and machine learning. He has over 12 years of experience working for Chevron and Schlumberger prior to Tachyus. He holds a Ph.D. in Petroleum Engg. and a Ph.D. Minor in Operations Research from Stanford University and a B.Tech from Indian School of Mines.

  • SPE Distinguished Lecturer: "Capping a Subsea Blowout is not Rocket Science - or is it?"

    By: Ferdinando Marfella Ferdinando Marfella , 9 months ago
    On 10 September 2020, SPE Italian Section has carried out the first live online on the Youtube web-platform of a Distinguished Lecture.
    We have hosted Andy Cuthbert on the SPE Italian Section Youtube Channel. Andy is an experienced Senior Manager in upstream oil & gas with 35 years of operations, management and business development experience. He has strong knowledge and experience in directional drilling, multilateral completion technology, well integrity and well control.
    Andy introduced us to innovative methodologies based on Computational Fluid Dynamics - a scientific discipline widely used in the aerospace sector - to solve serious and serious problems related to oil spills like the one we will all remember about GOM.
    I want to resubmit the video recording for those who have not had the opportunity to participate online.
    A snapshot of the live event.

    Furthermore, for those who have access to the Onepetro platform, I want to point out Andy's paper - SPE199087MS - prepared for presentation at the SPE Latin American and Caribbean Petroleum Engineering Conference originally scheduled to be held in Bogota, Colombia, 17 - 19 March 2020. Due to COVID-19, the physical event was postponed until 27 - 31 July 2020 and was changed to a virtual event. The official proceedings were published online on 20 July 2020.
    Our virtual host has promised us to visit us in person in Milan when the pandemic will be totally under control.
    Last but not least... I want to thank my fellow organizers of the lecture: Luca Cadei - Program and Luca Motti - the creator of our online transmission platform.
