Exploiting NERC-funded research to beneficially impact upstream workflows in the petroleum industry. Significant economic impacts can derive from effective KE, through immediate application of knowledge, and also by enabling end-users to make their own connections between information, knowledge and application. This proposal aims to increase the impact of NERC-funded science from within the University of Leeds in a two-way exchange with industrial partners, through:1) Executive Directorship of the Centre for Integrated Petroleum Engineering and Geoscience (CiPEG), leading to beneficial economic impact on upstream petroleum industry workflows;2) Dissemination of the CiPEG model within the University of Leeds to help lead further development of KE across other NERC funded research areas with focus on carbon sequestration and multiphase flow; 3) Co-Directorship of the Virtual Seismic Atlas, an interactive website promoting the study of seismic reflection data. The key barrier to progress is leadership time: hence this Fellowship application.
