Paul Weimer holds the Bruce D. Benson Endowed Chair in Petroleum Geology in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Colorado-Boulder and is director of the Energy and Minerals Applied Research Center. His research interests are in sequence stratigraphy, reservoir geology, and petroleum systems of deep-water continental margins.Roger M. Slatt is currently professor and head of the Department of Geology and Geological Engineering at Colorado School of Mines and director of the Rocky Mountain Region Petroleum Technology Transfer Council. He has 14 years' experience in the petroleum industry with ARCO Research, ARCO International Oil and Gas Company, and Cities Service Company, and has taught geology at Memorial University of Newfoundland and Arizona State University, in addition to Colorado School of Mines. He has written over 60 papers on various aspects of petroleum geology. He sits on numerous professional society committees, has organized technical conferences for AAPG, teaches short courses on the petroleum geology of turbidite systems and on reservoir geology, and in 1996 he received the AAPG Distinguished Service Award. He is the 1999 Esso Australia Distinguished Lecturer in Petroleum Geology.
Peter Dromgoole started his own independent consultancy, APPRO Consultants, in 1995 and now works both independently and as the principal geoscience advisor and MIND project manager for IKODA Limited. Prior to that he worked in BP for 25 years gaining experience in exploration, appraisal, and development areas, and finally as the BP worldwide development geophysical consultant advising on all BP's assets. Peter is a founder member of the EAGE Petroleum Division (formerly the EAPG) and was chairman of the Petroleum Division Technical Programme Committee from 1997 to 1999. He is a Fellow of The Geological Society, a member of the SPE, PESGB, and is on the editorial board of Petroleum Geoscience.
Mike Bowman received his Ph.D. in clastic sedimentology from the University of Sheffield and, following a period as a lecturer at Aberystwyth University, has worked now for BP-Amoco for 18 years. His oil industry experience commenced in an international sedimentology team based in London, and was followed by eight years in the North Sea, where he worked on both field development and exploration projects. He returned to London to act as a global consultant for reservoir description issues and subsequently worked on field and development projects in the former Soviet Union. He is currently based in Aberdeen and manages the subsurface exploitation team in BP-Amoco's upstream technology group.
Andy Leonard is currently BP-Amoco's asset manager for the Andrew and Cyrus fields in the North Sea. He has 17 years experience within the oil industry. He has wide experience of reservoir management, particularly within deep-marine clastic reservoirs, at all stages from preproduction to late field life.
This paper summarizes the results of a joint EAGE/AAPG research conference that was convened in Almeria, Spain, in October 1998. The theme of the conference was how to better produce deep-water reservoirs based on lessons learned from the past 25 yr. A repeated message at the conference was that there is more complexity than anticipated in turbidite reservoirs, contrary to many people's expectations. Such complexity may go unnoticed during initial depletion and be observed only during secondary injection of fluids. Early recognition of shale occurrences and geometries, bed continuity, and stratigraphic variations in net-to-gross ratios appear to be the main issues related to maximizing well performance.
