At the forefront of petroleum geoscience www.geolsoc.org.uk/petroleum Operations Geology Conference ‘Bridging the Gaps’ 2-3 November 2016 The Geological Society, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London Registration Now Open Convenors: Tim Herrett Independent – Chairman Louise Young BP – Secretary Hozefa Godhrawala Centrica Chris Hayes RPS Peter Mears Total Nick Pierpoint Independent Jim Raggatt Independent Chris Samson Independent Richard Smout Independent Pat Spicer Independent Corporate Supporters: Sponsored by: The 2016 Operations Geology Conference will aim to move the professional and technical discussion to a wider audience with a direct call to our industry colleagues from associated disciplines. In addition to our core opera- tions geologists we seek active participation from personnel in subsurface, drilling and engineering to significantly broaden the four main conference themes outlined below. As key oil industry professionals we need to ask our- selves serious questions during this time of constrained conditions. We should challenge ourselves to work better together by fully integrating with associated disciplines, optimising our processes and enhancing communications. The ultimate aim is to become more cost effective and to deliver better results while enhancing safety performance. • State of the Discipline – Who are we? Demographics, diversity, update on our profession and where we are go- ing in in a lower oil price environment. What are our key challenges going forward? • Focus on the Wellsite – Wellsite geology, focus on re-invigorating/updating/more fully exploiting fundamental techniques, use of real-time data, daily work flows and innovative processes. • Integrating Teams – Working better together with wellsite geology, geomechanics, well engineering, biostratigra- phy, geochemistry, wireline, petrophysicists, mudlogging and LWD. Improving communications. • Working Smarter – What tools and techniques do we need to ‘work smarter’, more cost effectively and safely? Conference Dinner: Registration is now open for the Conference Dinner to be held on Wednesday 2nd November 2016 at the Cavendish Hotel, Jermyn Street.
