EAGE Digital Talks: Digitalization Programmes in Oil and Gas

Watch this recording from the EAGE Digital 2020 conference featuring Surender Manral (Schlumberger) in discussion with key industry players on the adoption, value and challenges of scaling digital solutions in a rapidly changing energy landscape.

The changing landscape of the oil and gas industry provides exceptional challenges across the value chain. Energy companies must continue to adapt their business models and practices to remain competitive amidst pressures in pricing and shrinking demand. Digital transformation provides opportunities for sweeping changes and value creation. In this panel discussion we will focus on the adoption of digitalization programs amongst the industry. How ambitious have we been in scaling digital transformation and what key benefits and value do we experience or see on the horizon? More importantly how do we continue to ensure that digital initiatives generate returns across the entire value chain as we transition to more integrated energy businesses?

Panelists include:

David Hicks, Senior VP Upstream Energy – IHS Markit
Trygve Randen, Business Line Director, Digital Subsurface Solutions – Schlumberger
Markus Berghofer, VP Digital Excellence – OMV Upstream
Sean Mackie, Digital Transformation Lead for Exploration – Wintershall Dea

Prof. Dr Dominique Guérillot, former member of the Executive Committee of IFP and Program Director for the Upstream R&D of Saudi Aramco, he is focusing in Oil and Gas Exploration and Production including Unconventional, CO2 EOR and Carbon storage. After a PhD in Applied Mathematics, he joined IFP in 1982 in the Reservoir Engineering Dpt.

He started his career in the Exploration and Production sector developing Expert system for selecting EOR methods and Advanced Compositional Reservoir Simulators for EOR (CO2 and thermal methods).

In 1985, he began cooperating with geologists and he invented with the Paris School of Mines the first software package integrating reservoir characterization and flow simulations in porous media proposing innovative methods for upscaling absolute permeabilities.

After being the Director of the Geology and Geochemistry (95-01, in 2001, he became member of the Executive Committee of IFP and Managing Director of Exploration and Reservoir Engineering Centre with a total budget of 30 Millions of Euros. Consequently, IFP nominated him as board member of several Exploration and Production subsidiaries of IFP: Beicip-Franlab and RSI in France, IFP MEC in Bahrain, etc. He developed new strategic orientations for the business unit he was in charge modifying its business model to generate revenues based on royalties through the development of several strategic marketed software for IFP.

In 2009, he created a Young Innovative Company (YIC), Terra 3E, in Energy and Environment: http://www.Terra3E.com developing innovative plug-ins in Petrel software among which the first tool for accurate calculations of fluids in place for gas and oil shales and upscaling transmissivities. From 2010 to 2013, he was senior expert for Petrobras, Brazil.

In 2012, he served the European Commission for selecting R&D projects on CO2 Storage. In 2013, Qatar Petroleum called Dominique Guérillot for developing their R&D Centre at the Qatar Sciences and Technology park in Doha, Qatar. He is currently full professor at Texas A&M University in their campus of Qatar.

He published more than 50 full and refereed papers, holds 5 patents, is member of the IJOGCT editorial team, the SPE and EAGE associations, is referee of the Oil & Gas Science and Technology (OGST), and member of the editorial board of the Petroleum Geoscience journal of the Geological Society.
