Call for Papers: Special issue on “Digitally Enabled Geoscience Workflows: Unlocking the Power of Our Data”

Contributions Welcomed for Geoenergy and Petroleum Geoscience Joint Special Issue

Collection Editors
Daniel Austin (Earth Science Analytics)
Paul Wilson (SLB, Petroleum Geoscience Editorial Board)
Runhai Feng (University of Copenhagen, Geoenergy Editorial Board)

Scope
Petroleum Geoscience and Geoenergy are calling for papers to be submitted to a joint collection on “Digitally Enabled Geoscience Workflows: Unlocking the Power of Our Data”.

Data science – including automation, data analytics, machine learning and processing of extremely large datasets – is now an important part of everyday life and is transforming the way scientists conduct research and develop new technologies, enabling specific tasks to be implemented with minimal human supervision.

These techniques are providing game-changing advances in subsurface workflows in terms of time saving on complex tasks, improved consistency and repeatability of interpretation, and utilization of scarce experienced geoscientists.

This special collection of papers will present the state of the art in data science applications for geoscience, and particularly intends to highlight the recent advances of these technologies to solve subsurface problems across various disciplines including:

  • Data science and statistics with geological applications.
  • AI and automation on downhole production data.
  • Integrated studies in subsurface analytics production and operations optimization.
  • Exploration/production challenges.
  • Seismic and well log interpretation.
  • The interface between engineering and geoscience.
  • Transfer of learning to solve geoscientific problems.
  • Data science applications to the energy transition.

Submission
Submissions should be made via the Petroleum Geoscience Editorial Manager website or Geoenergy Editorial Manager website. It is up to the author to choose which journal is more suitable for their paper.

Full details on each journal scope can be found here:
Petroleum Geoscience scope
Geoenergy scope

Full author guidelines for both journals can be found here:

Dominique Guérillot

President & CEO TERRA 3E

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.
