"Accessing the Value in Cuttings"
It is less than a year since RISIG's first webinar on cuttings which focussed on the Norwegian Oil and Gas Association (NOROG) Released Wells Initiative digital cuttings project. In that time, we have seen a noticeable surge in interest in this previously overlooked resource. Companies increasingly realize that extracting value from cuttings is indeed possible with modern automated digital acquisition methods. Digital imaging of cuttings includes:
This webinar by the Rock Imaging Special Interest Group (RISIG), the organisers of the highly regarded International Rock Imaging Summit, will bring together a group of experts in the field who will present firsthand accounts of the challenges faced and value derived from the digital imaging of cuttings. The presentations will be followed by a moderated panel session where attendees will have the opportunity to question the speakers individually and as a group.
REGISTRATION IS CLOSED.
Please log in.

BIO: Karim Bondabou
Currently holds the position of Surface Geology Product Champion of Well Construction Measurement Division from Schlumberger located in France. He currently leads the development and introduction of new technologies related to Surface Formation Evaluation on rocks generated while drilling commonly called “cuttings” to improve reservoir characterization real-time. During his 13 years in Surface Logging, Karim was highly involved into development, global deployment, and data interpretation of various measurement technology to extract the maximum value of drilled cuttings at rig-site through various position. He holds a Master degree in Applied Geology with specialization in Geological Reservoir Characterization from the University of Sciences and Technology of Montpellier (France).
