Integrated Modeling and AI in Upstream Oil & Gas Course

Alan Tominey

In the world of oil and gas production, physics dictates that reservoir, well, and surface facilities are inextricably linked. However, the industry has traditionally approached these systems in silos, with specialized teams and disciplines often operating independently. This fragmented approach can lead to inefficiencies, missed opportunities, and suboptimal production.
Integrated Production Modelling (IPM) challenges the status quo by acknowledging a fundamental truth: while production systems are physically integrated, the teams that manage them often aren't. This disconnect can lead to misunderstandings, conflicting assumptions, and ultimately, suboptimal decision-making. This course tackles IPM with a focus on bridging that gap. It's built on the understanding that successful integration requires not just technical expertise, but also clear communication and a shared understanding of how different disciplines impact the model and each other. By recognizing the human element in IPM, and equipping you with the skills to navigate its complexities, this course empowers you to build truly collaborative models that unlock the full potential of your field.
This comprehensive course provides participants with a systematic approach to understanding and applying IPM concepts, focusing on principles, implementation, and value extraction. Through practical examples, hands-on exercises, and short quizzes, you'll gain the skills and confidence to apply IPM in real-world scenarios, leveraging traditional methodologies alongside cutting-edge AI and ML technologies.Read more...
