Seminar: "The Mud Logging Industry"

15 fevereiro 2016, 11:33 • Elisa do Nascimento Pires Costa

Next Friday, February 19th, at 11h00, the seminar “The Mud Logging Industry” will be held, presented by Mr. Bruno Melo, from Geolog.

Venue: Room V1.08, Civil Engineering Building, IST - Alameda Campus

Bruno Melo has a Bachelor degree in Chemical Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST). Afterwards, he worked in a research project in the Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Laboratory at his home university for 8 months. He recently concluded the Petroleum Engineering Master at IST, with the thesis “Prediction of formation fluid composition through gas while drilling analysis”.

Bruno integrated Geolog on July 2014, as part of the Fast-Track Program. During these 2 years, he worked as drilling data engineer in Romania, Venezuela, Brazil, Italy and in the Netherlands. In the meanwhile, Bruno did some specialization courses in the company to become an advanced gas specialist and a well-site geochemistry specialist.

CERENA and Paradigm (http://pdgm.com), the largest independent developer of software-enabled solutions to the global oil and gas industry, signed an Academic Grant Program for the donation of academic licenses of Paradigm’s Echos and SeisEarth. This oil and gas E&P industry’s leading systems for seismic processing and visualization will be available for CERENA’s researchers, as well as for the students from the Master in Petroleum Engineering of Instituto Superior Técnico. The students will be able to use this standard industry software for developing their Research thesis and during their practical work developed under the course on seismic reflection data processing. Finally, this is the first collaboration between a Portuguese University and Paradigm. This new agreement was only possible due to the strong and internationally recognized connection between CERENA and the oil and gas industry and the success of the Master in Petroleum Engineering.
