Education Days Stavanger 2017 Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the Board of the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE), I am pleased to introduce our multiple short course programme Education Days Stavanger 2017, which will take place on 20-24 November 2017 in Stavanger, Norway. The event consists of multiple one-day and two-day short courses delivered by distinguished geoscientists and professionals. The courses are carefully selected to ensure a consistent programme with appeal to a broad geoscience and engineering audience. Multiple courses and topics are offered during the week, thus insuring that all attendees can customize an educational programme appropriate to their own needs and interests. Education Days is an ideal platform to increase knowledge and awareness of new methodology for geoscience specialists. These short courses do not only reflect the latest scientific developments in geosciences, but also demonstrate applications of these theories to real-life problems. This year the event will be held at the Innovation Park, or Ipark, which is accessible for all participants and the ideal location for this event. Ipark is an international centre for innovation, research and business development, housing over 130 companies and around 900 employees. The Innovation Park is located within Stavanger s university campus area, and is part of the Ullandhaug competence environment in which the International Research Institute of Stavanger (IRIS), the University of Stavanger (UiS) and Validé are important collaborative partners. I strongly encourage you to participate in one or more short courses during the EAGE Education Days in Stavanger. I am sure that you will be positively surprised by the high quality and professionalism of the courses.

Monday 20 November AVO in an Inversion World Dr Anthony Fogg (Arun Geoscience) Monday 20 November Time-lapse Seismic: A Multidisciplinary Tool for Effective Reservoir Management Dr Cedric Fayemendy (Statoil) CPD POINTS: 5 CPD POINTS: 5 : AVO (Amplitude Versus Offset) analysis has been a key technology for de-risking drill targets as it can potentially distinguish different fluids and litho-types. Over time the application of the AVO technique has evolved and merged with seismic inversion methods so that today the traditional AVO analysis techniques have been superseded by the analysis of rock property volumes on the interpreter s work station. However, in order to derive these rock properties we still rely on the fundamental principles of AVO. This course covers the basics of AVO theory and how it is used to create attributes or inversion volumes from seismic reflection data that reveal the rock and fluid characteristics of the sub-surface. The course is not mathematical, but does review some simple equations that help the student understand how AVO is applied to create quantitative measurements from surface seismic data and interpret those results in terms of rock physics often referred to as Quantitative Interpretation (QI). Interpreters, geologists, geophysicists and other geoscience disciplines who have an interest in understanding how AVO, rock physics and seismic inversion is applied in real world studies. : Geophysical Reservoir Monitoring (GRM) of reservoirs relies on frequent time-lapse observations with high-survey repeatability. This technology is a key enabler for maximizing the oil recovery of oil and gas fields. The GRM technology aims at understanding and updating the knowledge of producing reservoirs. This is achieved through mapping the movement of fluid and pressure fronts and fluid contacts during production and injection. The combination of production monitoring with repeated seismic acquisition and geological and reservoir information provides reliable estimates of static and dynamic reservoir parameters. The lecture will first review the geophysical reservoir monitoring history at Statoil. We will share our experience with 4D processes, resources allocation and the overall monitoring strategy. The lecture will also cover challenges in understanding the 4D responses and value creation. Finally, we will look at how we push the GRM technology towards higher use of quantitative results. This course should be of interest to managers, geoscientists, reservoir and petroleum engineers with an interest in reservoir management and monitoring using time-lapse seismic.

Tuesday 21 - Wednesday 22 November Understanding Seismic Anisotropy in Exploration and Exploitation Hands On Dr Leon Thomsen (Delta Geophysics) Thursday 23 Friday 24 November Rock Physics, Geomechanics and Hazard of Fluid-induced Seismicity Prof. Serge Shapiro (Freie Universität Berlin) This course covers all areas of applied seismic anisotropy, with class exercises and ample time for full discussion. Because anisotropy is such a fundamental concept, it covers topics in seismic acquisition, processing, imaging and interpretation, all based on seismic rock physics. This is not a methods course but rather a concept course, familiarizing the students with essential concepts, enabling them to ask the right questions in future conversations, rather than to operate particular software packages. Geophysicists should attend who have a working knowledge of conventional exploration geophysics and wonder how it can be that we use isotropic concepts to acquire and analyze data that come from rocks that, after only brief thoughtful consideration, must clearly be anisotropic. Tuesday 21 - Wednesday 22 November Geology for Non-Geologists Dr George Bertram (Stratigraphic Research Int. Ltd) Part 1 includes: Rock physical and poroelastic fundamentals of fluid-induced seismicity (including microseosmicity): Elastic waves, Elastic Anisotropy, Poroelastic waves, Slow wave and diffusion, Fluid flow in rocks, Seismic attenuation, Reservoir properties. Part 2 includes: Geomechanics and physics of faulting and earthquakes and principles of the microseismic monitoring method: faulting types, faulting criteria, tectonic stresses, rock criticality, detection, location, earthquake mechanisims, moment tensors and magnitudes of earthquakes, microseismic common receiver gathers, microseismic reflection imaging. Part 3 includes: Various types of induced seismicity: production-induced earthquakes, injection induced earthquakes, geothermal systems, hydraulic fracturing, waste water injection and carbon sequestration; interpretation of microseismic data for reservoir stimulation and hydraulic fracturing. Part 4 includes: Fundamentals of assessment of induced-seismicity hazard (injection, post-injection and disposal operations): Seismicity statistics, Gutenberg-Richter law, Interevent times, Seismogenic index, Rupture propagation, Bounds of magnitude frequencies, Maximum expected magnitude, triggered and induced earthquakes, factors controlling hazard and requirements for microseismic monitoring; Hazard of various types of induced seismicity: The course comprises a series of talks on the fundamentals of geology interspersed with short practical exercises and discussions. The objective of the course is to introduce attendees to the science of geology with a particular emphasis on its application for the exploration of hydrocarbons. GEOLOGY The course is targeted to Geophysicists, Geologists, Petrophysics, Reservoir Engineers, Graduate and Postgraduate Students, Researchers, Interpreters. Thursday 23 Friday 24 November This course is principally intended for geophysicists who have no background in geology but it should be of value to all technologists working in the hydrocarbon industry who interact with geologists. Deepwater Reservoirs: Exploration and Production Concepts Prof. Dorrik Stow (Heriot-Watt University) GEOLOGY This course is designed to provide the participant with a stateof-the-art review and update, thereby providing an overall understanding of the complexity of the deep marine system. It will outline the processes and facies and how they evolve on the slope and in the open ocean; discuss how these facies build into distinctive architectural elements and how they can 4 Education Days Stavanger 2017
be recognized in the subsurface. The course also covers analysis and interpretation of seismic records, sea floor images, well logs (including borehole image logs), core materials and outcrop characteristics of the component elements of deepwater reservoirs, emphasizing internal architecture as related to reservoir performance. Examples from different deepwater plays around the world will be used to further illustrate their exploration, appraisal, development and reservoir management. All geologists, geophysicists and petroleum engineers involved in exploration and development of the deepwater play. Project managers for deepwater plays and reservoir production.
