Topic: Well Dynamic Simulation – Challenging the “Just Do This” Approach
Lecturer: Mr. Ryosuke YOKOTE (Rio), ENI Australia
Ryosuke YOKOTE (Rio) is a Senior Petroleum Engineer with Eni Australia. He has over 29 years of industry experience in Australia, Timor-Leste, Indonesia, and Japan. In this lecturer program, he showcased well dynamic simulations supporting the full life cycle of well operations, including well clean-up, field start-up, production operations, well intervention and field abandonment. These case studies highlighted the importance of a cross-disciplinary approach to foster strong collaborations between the field-based supervisor and the office-based engineer carrying out the simulations. When operational parameters are properly incorporated into simulations, the results can provide great insights, enabling field supervisors to carry out operations in a safe and efficient manner.
SPE Japan is glad to have him as one of the distinguished lecturer this year. We appreciate his visit and insightful talks, and look forward to seeing the Japan section members in the next distinguished lecture program.
