PROGRAMME

First EAGE Workshop on Basin & Petroleum Systems Modeling2

Workshop Overview

The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for exchange of ideas and encourage cooperation among specialists from industry, academia, research institutes and developers to ad-vance basin and petroleum systems modeling. The workshop will provide an opportunity to discuss the cur-rent status of petroleum systems modeling and remaining challenges that we want to address with new ideas in research and development that will improve our understanding of the distribution of hydrocarbons in the subsurface. It will highlight the scientific and technical challenges in modeling of both conventional and unconventional petroleum systems.

Keynote speaker biographies

Ibraheem Assa’adan is currently the Executive Director of Ex-ploration.Ibraheem graduated in 1981 with a BSc in Geology from King Saud University, Riyadh, and joined Saudi Aramco as a develop-ment geologist. By 1991 he was a Chief Geologist in Explora-tion, and subsequently served several diverse positions includ-ing the Assistant to Vice President of Exploration, staff to HE the Minister of Petroleum & Minerals Resources in Riyadh on a Special Studies Team. Ibraheem then returned to Saudi Ara-mco as Chief Geologist of Gas Fields Characterization. In 2000, he moved to Al Khafji on the management team of the newly formed Aramco Gulf Operations Company (AGOC). On com-pletion of this assignment, he returned to Dhahran in 2002 as Manager of Reservoir Characterization Department. In 2004 he was appointed Manager of Upstream Ventures Depart-ment. He became General Manager in Drilling and Workover then to Prospect Portfolio and Development in Exploration be-fore being appointed as Executive Director, Exploration

Maher Almarhoon started his career with Saudi ARAMCO in 1990. He has more than 20 years of experience in geophysi-cal data processing, analysis, and interpretation. Maher has assumed leading positions in prospect generation, delineation, reservoir characterization, and research divisions. Currently, Maher is the chief technologist for the geology research in EX-PEC ARC, which is the upstream research arm of Saudi ARAMCO. Maher has a Bsc. degree in geophysics, a Msc. degree in geol-ogy and a MBA degree. Maher is interested in the creativity and innovation subject. He is the architect of the Geo-creativi-ty Prize that EAGE is pursuing and managing.

Johannes Wendebourg is Total’s expert for Petroleum Systems and leading Total’s Petroleum Evaluation team in the New Ventures Department in Paris.Previously he held positions in the R&D and technology organization of Shell E&P Inter-national in The Hague, Netherlands and as a researcher and project manager with the French Petroleum Institute (IFP) near Paris, France. Johannes holds a PhD in Applied Earth Sciences from Stanford University and a Geology degree from Freiburg University, Germany

François Lorant is a senior geologist in TOTAL S.A., specialized in petroleum systems evaluation. He received a MD in Geology at the Paris 7 University, then a PhD in Organic Geochemis-try at the Louis Pasteur University in Strasbourg. After a brief post-doctoral period at Caltech (USA), he worked for many years at the Institut Français du Petrole (IFP) as a research geo-chemist and basin modeler. He left the IFP in 2011, and joined the New Ventures Division of TOTAL Exploration and Produc-tion in Paris, France.
