Colin McPhee is widely recognised as an industry expert in core
analysis, petrophysics, geomechanics, and formation damage. His 40
years’ experience includes major integrated petrophysics and
geomechanics projects for fields in Asia, the Middle East, Europe,
Africa and the North Sea. Currently, Colin is Global Technical Head
for Geomechanics and Rock properties for LR Senergy, advising
clients on petrophysical and geomechanical aspects of field
development, asset evaluation and well construction.
After working as a wellsite geologist in the North Sea then a
geotechnical engineer, Colin joined the Department of Petroleum
Engineering in Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh in 1980 where he
was responsible for technical and operational supervision of
departmental research projects, involving petrophysical core
analysis and fluid flow in porous media. He later joined Edinburgh
Petroleum Services where he managed its core analysis laboratory
equipment division and core testing laboratory, and developed one
of the first core analysis audit and laboratory management
consultancies in the world. Since then he has managed over 200 core
analysis programmes for Helix RDS and LR Senergy and has audited
over 50,000 SCAL measurements . His active promotion of closer
cooperation between stakeholders and core analysis vendors and his
innovative solutions in SCAL data interpretation has ensured that
core data are more reliable, robust and representative. Colin
developed an industry-leading, independent training course in core
analysis data acquisition and utilisation in 1990 and has now
taught over 100 courses to over 1500 industry professionals,
worldwide. Colin has written several technical papers, regularly
presents at industry conferences worldwide and has been a Technical
Editor for the Society of Petroleum Engineers Formation Evaluation
publication. He was a SPE Distinguished Lecturer in 2010-2011,
lecturing on core analysis. Colin has a BSc in applied geology from
Strathclyde University and a masters in civil engineering from
Glasgow University.
Jules Reed is Senergy’s Global Core Analysis Manager and has over
20 years’ experience in routine and special core analysis and
coreflooding studies gained with Core Laboratories, Corex UK,
ResLab, and most recently, Weatherford Labs where he was Technical
Director, Core Services. He has specialized in product development,
data quality control, training and design and interpretation of
specialist coreflood/dynamic test studies (including CO2, WAG, EOR
and IOR). Jules has held several board positions in the Society of
Core Analysts including VP Technology and President, and was
Chapter Chairman of SPE Trondheim Section Izaskun Zubizaretta is
currently a Principal Core Analysis Specialist with Senergy and has
14 years experience in the interpretation and performance of core
analysis, being involved in project management programmes and core
data analysis for national oil companies as well as several
independent operators.
