Giga-Cell Simulation, Visualization and Real Time Reservoir Monitoring
Broadcast Date: 7 September, 2010
Brief Description: GigaPOWERS™ reservoir simulator has achieved industry-leading billion-cell models, large enough to match reservoir performance and conduct future production forecasts within practical times with high accuracy. This presentation covers the journey of reservoir simulation technology from ten thousand to a billion cells. The presentation will include how the evolution of powerful computing and visualization technologies made it easy to construct and analyze billion cell reservoir models. The presentation will also cover the use of powerful visualization tools such as using hand gestures in model construction and use of sound to aid engineers in managing reservoirs in real time.

Carbon Readiness Strategies for the US EPA’s new greenhouse gas emissions (GhG) standards
Broadcast Date: 19 November, 2009
Brief Description: Do you have a carbon readiness strategy? It’s no longer optional; the US EPA is regulating greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon emission programs have grown rapidly in recent years. Under these programs, some companies that emit greenhouse gases (GhG) have already had to manage their carbon emissions so as to know how many emissions credits to buy or sell. However, a new regulation from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will start regulating a larger population of facilities in the United States beginning in January 2010. While the EPA’s new mandatory GhG reporting rule will only require GhG reporting for affected facilities, successful implementation of this new rule will help companies better manage GhG issues going forward.
