Ben Sellers (Principal Consultant and Founder), provides support for clients to help them find the solutions they need to optimise their business.
Ben has extensive experience in technology development and digitisation in the energy industry, as well as deep subject matter expertise in integrated production modelling and reservoir engineering.
Digitisation
We have broad experience in digital technology prototyping, development and deployment, some examples are:
- Leading co-development with Schlumberger of a new technology solution utilising customisation of FDPlan on the DELFI platform to automate and integrate reservoir, costing and commercial modelling.
- Large scale training and deployment of the solution above.
- Prototyping, development and deployment of automated costing and commercial modelling engines.
- Leading the first implementation of Petroleum Experts software on the DELFI platform.
- Development of deep integration and automation of Petroleum Experts software on the DELFI platform.
- Implementation of an AWS cloud based technology solution to support scalable and CPU intensive Petroleum Experts modelling, and the retirement of costly in-house legacy hardware.
- Development and implementation of a scalable AWS cloud system to support mass scale parallelisation of CPU intensive dynamic reservoir modelling applicable to tNavigator, Intersect, ECLIPSE and Echelon software.
- Workflows to automatically simplify reservoir modelling.
If you are interested in similar projects to the above, or would simply like advice on technology solutions, please get in touch.
Integrated Production Modelling
We have deep subject matter knowledge and expertise in integrated production modelling (IPM), and reservoir engineering. As well as a high degree of fluency with Petroleum Experts, Schlumberger and RockFlow Dynamics simulation tools.
Historically Ben Sellers (Principal Consultant) has acted as the subject matter expert for dynamic simulation and integrated modelling for Woodside Energy Ltd, and some of the projects he has advised on are:
- Greater Enfield Oil Project IPM build and assurance.
- Browse LNG Project IPM build and assurance.
- North-West Shelf LNG IPM build, simplification and assurance.
- Liard Gas IPM build and assurance.
- SNE Oil Project IPM build and assurance.
- Wheatstone LNG Project IPM assurance.
If you have similar IPSM challenges to any of the projects above, please get in touch.
