Portfolio Performance Optimization Featured Image

Portfolio Performance Optimization

Using modern portfolio management theory and practice the learner will use your methanol company's current enterprise wide operating assets and new exploration opportunities to optimize the performance of it's integrated portfolio. In the process you will learn to build and manage the portfolio as you review the current assets and new opportunities using portfolio management techniques and within the existing investment environment. The learner will be able to: learn to apply Portfolio Management to exploration opportunities, learn what an efficient frontier is and its role in portfolio performance optimization, learn the various ways you can go about rebalancing your enterprise portfolio, know how to apply passive and active portfolio rebalancing.

Seismic Stratigraphic Modeling Featured Image

Seismic Stratigraphic Modeling

This topic details the four basic rules to follow when acquiring seismic data for stratigraphic purposes and the four different processes for maximizing resolution in stratigraphic processing. It outlines two methods for extracting stratigraphic information from seismic data, describes lateral and vertical resolution and explains how these variables are used to interpret stratigraphic traps on seismic sections. The course lists three common sources used for acquiring seismic data and how their wavelets differ. Two variations in seismic amplitude responses due to changes in the type of pore fluid are defined. How the pore fluid type affects the seismic parameters of reflectivity, acoustic impedance and reflection coefficients are identified. The relationship between velocity and depth in terms of history and porosity is explained. The stratigraphic modeling categories are listed. The differences between forward and inverse modeling are outlined. The difference between one-dimensional and multi-dimensional modeling is described. How to generate a synthetic seismogram is discussed. The differences between an acoustic impedance log and a sonic log are identified. The inversion modeling process is described. The effects of attenuation and geometric spreading on inversion data is explained. Limitations with the AVO method are identified. The theory on which the AVO method is based is outlined.

Technical Challenges of CO2 Regulatory Approval Procedures Featured Image

Technical Challenges of CO2 Regulatory Approval Procedures

Projects utilizing CO2 for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) have been implemented by the energy industry for over 50 years since the 1970s. Currently, in addition to EOR, there is significant industry interest in injecting CO2 for long-term geological sequestration. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects have stringent regulatory requirements aimed at protecting underground drinking water. Significant data collection and reservoir characterization is required to ensure formation characteristics and reservoir seals are adequate for storage. Furthermore, regulatory requirements require dynamic modelling of flow of fluids through porous media to understand CO2 plume behavior. The aim of this webinar is to outline the specific technical requirements for long-term geological storage that regulators need to understand. The data and technical needs, and the regulatory approval process will be outlined. Technical challenges and issues faced by industry will be highlighted. New and emerging issues for regulators will be discussed.
