Genesis will participate in the Rio Oil & Gas Conference in 13-16/September 2010 presenting the poster “Consolidation of Field Knowledge” from the article written by Petrobras, Genesis do Brasil, Unicamp and GPT personnel. The abstract is:

“The cyclic variation of oil and gas prices, the advance of exploration in hostile environments, such as in ultra-deep waters and drilling through long salt formations, as well as new technologies in the drilled wells geometry are challenges in the upstream of the oil industry. The lessons learned in the development of such fields are an important source of knowledge that can be used to improve the construction of new wells, fulfilling industry needs regarding economical, environmental and operational levels, based on the E&P constant changes. One way to use this knowledge is to apply it in new projects, making sure is used in order to improve the technical solutions and mitigate risks, thereby avoiding or minimizing the effects of abnormalities found. This paper presents a post analysis methodology to implement a structure and data organization of drilled wells in an oil field. The developed work is within a larger project to combined geomechanical and operational information in order to achieve a holistic view of the field development in years to come. This research is under way in an offshore field in Brazil and has an objective not only to show the lessons learned, but also to identify the best in class examples to be followed in the future operations of this field.”
