Cenk Temizel is an energy professional with 20 years of experience. He worked at Saudi Aramco, Aera Energy LLC (a Shell-ExxonMobil Affiliate), Halliburton and Schlumberger in the Middle East, the US and the UK. Before joining the industry, he was a teaching/research assistant at the University of Southern California and Stanford University. He serves as a technical reviewer for petroleum engineering journals and a member of conference committees. He has published around 150 publications in reservoir management, production optimization, enhanced recovery processes, machine learning, intelligent fields, and holds several US patents. He is the recipient of the SPE Regional Reservoir Description and Dynamics Award. He holds a BS degree (Honors) from Middle East Technical University – Ankara (2003) and an MS degree (2005) from the University of Southern California (USC), Los Angeles, CA both in petroleum engineering.Tayfun Tuna is a data scientist and software developer who holds a MS and a PhD Degree in Computer Science from the University of Houston. His graduate research focus was on text mining; applying machine learning techniques to lecture videos in order to segment video content for a better learning experience. He is a co-founder of Videopoints LLC, previously known as ICS Video Project, an interactive educational video platform which have been used more than 50K users across multiple university campuses. While he was the chief operating officer and principal investigator his project is rewarded by National Science Foundation Small Business Innovation Research (NSF SBIR) Phase I Grant.In his professional career, Tayfun has worked with Halliburton to develop a patented machine learning based web based interface that predicts chance of getting of stuck while drilling for oil. Tayfun Tuna has two patents and 20 research paper publications on educational technology, social networks and oil&gas field. M. Melih Oskay earned his PhD from UT Austin, and he has been in academia and industry as advisors and managerial positions for more than 30 years at Kuwait Oil Company, Shell and Kuwait Gulf Oil Company. He has represented KOC and KGOC at Joint Operations Committee and Joint Operations Tender Committees. Getty, Texaco, and Chevron have been the Operator for Saudi Arabia at Wafra Joint Operations at various periods. Dr. Oskay has also worked closely with Total experts during Total - KGOC Technical Support Agreement period.He has taught at University of Texas - Austin, TX, Louisiana Tech University-Ruston, Louisiana, Middle East Technical University – Ankara, Turkiye and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.Dr. Oskay has hold Organizing Committee, Session Chairmanship positions at many SPE Oil Show and Technical Conferences. Luigi Saputelli is a Reservoir Engineering Expert Advisor to the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and Frontender with over 29 years of experience. He has held various positions as reservoir engineer (integrated reservoir modeling, simulation, improved oil recovery projects, field development, researcher), drilling engineer (drilling and well planning projects, drilling rig automation) and production engineer (production modeling, engineering and operations workflow automation projects), in various operators and services companies around the world including PDVSA, Hess and Halliburton. Saputelli is an industry recognized researcher, invited lecturer, and an SPE liaison and committee member. Saputelli serves on the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) JPT Editorial Committee as the data communication and management technology feature editor since 2012, on the SPE Production and Operations Advisory Board since 2010. He is a founding member of the SPE Real-time Optimization Technical Interest Group and the Petroleum Data-driven Analytics technical section. He is the recipient of the 2015 SPE International Production and Operations Award. He has published more than 90 industry papers on applied technologies related to digital oilfield, reservoir management, real-time optimization, and production operations. Saputelli holds a BSc in Electronic Engineer from Universidad Simon Bolivar (1990), with a MSc in Petroleum Engineering from Imperial College (1996), and a PhD in chemical engineering from University of Houston (2003). He is also serving as managing partner in Frontender, a petroleum engineering services firm based in Houston.
