TRANSCRIPT
Today’s Objectives
• Identify common industry priorities
• Refine Scope of Work
• Prepare for RPSEA negotiation
• Commence Membership sign-up
RPSEA Update
• SEAM proposal submitted Oct 16, 2013
• RPSEA notification of intent to award April 1
• $1.9 million in co-funding (80%)
• Project must commence by Sept 30, 2014
• Project must complete by Sept 30, 2016
RPSEA Expectations
• Benchmark model and seismic datasets for industry and academic use for improved prediction of deep pressure and shallow hazards
• Methodology for quantifying risk and uncertainty in velocity estimation for pressure prediction
RPSEA Next Steps
• Submit detailed cost proposal/justification
• Negotiate refinements to Scope of Work
• Secure minimum 10 industry Participants
– $475,000 first two years minimum
• Execute contract before Sept 30, 2014
SEAM JIP Objectives
• Benchmark model and seismic datasets for industry and academic use for improved prediction of deep pressure and shallow hazards
• Methodology for quantifying risk and uncertainty in velocity estimation for pressure prediction
Model Redesign
• Participants provide examples/issues • Prioritize pressure challenges to include • Prioritize shallow hazards to include • Establish rock – pressure – elastic relationships • Stress modeling for salt effects • Basin modeling? • Modify existing SEAM Phase I model
Pressure Simulation
• Elastic anisotropic simulation (p and s)
• Streamer, sea floor node (and VSP) datasets
• Oversampled to enable acquisition design tests
• Extract “classic” datasets to facilitate academic and industry research
Shallow Simulation
• Elastic anisotropic simulation (p and s)
• Higher frequency, tighter spatial sampling
• Limited to 1000m below mudline
• Extract “classic” datasets to facilitate academic and industry research
State-of-Art Report
• Summarize current pressure prediction approaches
• Identify requirements for improved velocity estimation
• Propose draft methodology for evaluating risk and uncertainty
• Outline processing trials to evaluate methodology
• Provide recommendations for future research
Processing Trials
• Participants to prioritize tests
• Evaluate select vendor approaches to pressure prediction on simulated data
• Acquisition trials?
• Evaluate new concepts?
• Limited (none?) RPSEA cost-share
Methodology Report
• Methodology recommendation calibrated by processing trials
• Recommendations for future research
• Final Report summarizing 3 year project
SEAM Approach (1 of 3)
• Industry consensus on need to advance state-of-the-art
• A high level initial plan provided by SEAM
• Strong project management by dedicated Project Manager
• Early Participant agreement on “must haves”
SEAM Approach (2 of 3)
• Technical decision making through small committees composed of experts
• Project oversight and fund allocation through majority vote of Participants
• Rigorous qualification of simulation vendors
• Competitive bidding for all vendor contracts
SEAM Approach (3 of 3)
• Industry standard storage and access to simulated data and “classic” subsets
• Flexibility to respond to both opportunities and limitations in simulation technology
• The most important principle is that the paying Participants determine the direction of the project.
