Details
Geophysical Reservoir Monitoring (GRM) is gaining traction, requiring long-term commitment to successfully manage the subsurface. At the same time, the business environment is experiencing increasing uncertainty, making long-term monitoring decisions harder to make.
This workshop will explore the role of new and innovative use of acquisition, imaging, inversion, and interpretation technologies to mitigate the challenging business environment and ensure that reservoir management value is realised.
