Background, Objectives and Outcome

In ERCOFTAC, the various scientific and engineering fluid
dynamic modelling and simulation processes that underpin the
Oil, Gas and Petroleum (O, G and Pet) industry are in place.
Our objectives through the 2015 seminar, is to harness these
processes and present a two day seminar with a main focus on
Oil & Gas Best Practice and Technology Trends CFD. The
seminar will capture the industrial, and the academic view.
Therefore, the presentations are based around the challenges
, current and prospective solutions, as faced by the oil
companies, the solution providers, the commercial CFD
houses, and academia, in the production and transportation
of hydrocarbon fuels in an efficient and reliable manner,
under a health and safety framework.


Thus, how accurate, reliable, efficient and trustworthy are
CFD calculations, in aiding O&G services to continuously
extract more value out of their operations, such as deep
water extraction, when the sector is experiencing an ever
tighter regulatory carbon environment. Yet, when considering
that the level of energy demand in 2050 will be such that it
will require similar levels of oil and gas production as
today, then we see how critical is modelling and simulation,
in particular CFD and CFD-FEA!

A main outcome of the seminar is the creation of an Oil, Gas
and Petroleum Special Interest Group(SIG) whose purpose is
to maintain a leading and up to date agenda on the topic.
