6th EAGE Workshop on Fiber Optic Sensing for Energy Applications

21 - 22 October 2026, Perth, Australia

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

The workshop will focus on recent developments in fiber optic sensing, including high-value use cases, technology drivers, and emerging trends. We aim to bring together current and prospective technology end-users, problem owners, and experts in sensor hardware, tools, fibers, cables, interrogators, and applications. Topics will cover a wide range of uses, such as seismic imaging, downhole monitoring, reservoir surveillance, and more. 

This workshop is designed to cater to professionals engaged in Energy Transition, including those in the oil and gas, geothermal, CCUS, and other linked sectors, such as geoscientists, geophysicists, reservoir engineers, well completion specialists, data scientists, civil engineers, and marine professionals. We are inviting both industry practitioners and researchers in the fiber optic sensing field to contribute to the workshop.
