Webinar | Variograms
How shall we optimize the oil and gas production of our reservoirs? How much CO2 can we inject in this deep geological unit? Any risk of geomechanical failures of our caprock? These are but a few of the questions for which technical professionals need three-dimensional (3D) representations of rocks to answer.
This 3D representation is the geomodel. To build a geomodel, one needs mathematical tools to interpolate and extrapolate data spatially. The geostatistic toolbox has proven essential for these tasks. And at the heart of it all, we find variograms, which capture how the data correlate spatially in rocks.
Variograms are crucial to geostatistics, which are crucial to building good geomodels, which are crucial inputs to so many industries.
This presentation will help you better understand variograms. While the mathematical foundations will be covered, the talk will focus on the practical aspects of their use and validation.
This session will be held through ON24.

About the speaker
Thomas Jerome, P.Geo., is an independent senior oil and gas geomodeling consultant, based in Calgary, with over 25 years of experience. A geologist by training, Thomas has spent all his career as a geomodeler—first in the Middle East, then onsite in Saudi Aramco, before moving to Calgary in 2008. Since then, Thomas has worked in the Calgary oilpatch as an employee of Paradigm, and then RPS Energy, before becoming independent in 2016. Over the last few years, Thomas has been increasingly involved in projects focusing on other resources like lithium production and CO2 sequestration.
This event applies to the following Work Readiness Program skill area:
