16 th Annual Meeting Stanford Center for Reservoir Forecasting Stanford Center for Reservoir Forecasting

The state of SCRF… …is healthy ! Consider Record 19 students Strong funding from more than 20 members Additional funding through projects Effort to use SCRF software by individual members Consider the following statistics from SPE ATCE2002 ½ of all papers in “Geostatistics” section from SCRF 5/6 from SCRF related authors Rami won Ms division student paper contest

SCRF Meetings organized 2002 – 2003 Best-of-SCRF Houston, October 2002, ROXAR Best-of-SCRF Caracas, Postponed to March 2003, PDVSA Annual Meeting, May 8-9, Stanford Optimization Workshop, May 12, Stanford Best-of-SCRF Houston, October 2003, KERR-McGee
