SEAM Industry Research Consortia
New Life of Field: SEAM's upcoming project examines the full Life of Field workflows and data flows, including simulations of reservoir and fluid dynamics. The project commenced in December 2015 with a pilot that is launching a full project startup in December 2016 with early deliverables beginning after a two year period.

SEAM’s NEXT RESEARCH PROJECT“Life of Field”
SEAM ADDRESSES THE NEXT GRAND CHALLENGELife-of-field workflows involve expertise in geology, engineering, and geophysics. The full work process is not adequately benchmarked for interpretation accuracy, and workflows are inefficient. Exercising an industrial-scale synthetic data set could significantly improve this.
SEAM LOF data will be generated for complex geology, complete reservoir description, and geophysics. Reservoir dynamics will then be simulated, along with the resulting well and geophysical and geo-mechanical responses. The resulting data can be used to estimate the “inverse” problem of interpreting reservoir dynamics in a unique condition in which everything about the reservoir is known.

“We’re going to run out of water much much earlier than we’ll run out of oil,” Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, chairman of Nestlé, at the OECD Forum in May 2012.

Climate
“The risk of climate change is clear and the risk warrants action. Increasing carbon emissions in the atmosphere are having a warming effect.” “We know enough based on the research and science that the risk is real and appropriate steps should be taken to address that risk.”

Fossil fuels will remain dominant energy source for decades to come. Combination of economics and social/political forcing is driving major shifts in the global energy economy.
• Shift in demand from coal to natural gas
• Significant growth of unconventionals
• Regulatory requirements for cleaner oil and gas production
