Description:

The objective of the workshop is to discuss present and future opportunities for building integrated reservoir models involving all aspects of geophysics, from well logs, seismic, electromagnetics, and gravity; as well as distributed fiber optic sensing of temperature and acoustics. The geophysical monitoring of the reservoir dynamics is a difficult task that can be achieved by the combination of these multiple measurements, and the quantitative integration with production data and reservoir simulators. Distributed acoustic sensing has expanded borehole seismic applications, and recent experiments of 3D surface-to-borehole and borehole-to-surface CSEM have demonstrated the ability of mapping injected fluids around wells using electric field measurements from galvanic sources. Multi-physics permanent monitoring is becoming a realistic opportunity. The driving objective is to measure geophysical data close to the reservoir. Research on multi-parameter joint inversion has evolved over the recent years providing a wide variety of coupling mechanisms and workflows enabling the combination of different measurements. Data processing techniques and data reduction methods have also advanced to provide a new range of processing and imaging tools. The time is appropriate for reservoir studies where the coalescence of multiple geophysical measurements with reservoir engineering data can provide new insights and opportunities for the future life of reservoirs.
