Fifth EAGE Workshop on Borehole Geophysics

Despite the challenging circumstances the industry has experienced in the past few years, the support and interest in the EAGE Borehole Geophysics workshops have not only remained strong but broke a record in the number of delegates at the fourth workshop held in Abu Dhabi in 2017. This continued success has persuaded the technical committee of the workshop to plan and prepare the program and venue for the fifth in the series to be held 18-20 November 2019 in The Hague, Netherlands.

In previous workshops, the quality of the technical submissions has been excellent with representation from a wide cross-section of the industry from around the world; operators, consultants, contractors, and academics. For this fifth workshop, we anticipate using the same proven formula by providing a forum for professionals interested in borehole geophysics to share latest research findings, case studies, successes and lessons learned, all built around a technical program of oral papers and posters.

Borehole geophysics is a key component in linking surface measurements with the reservoir; data acquired in the well provide high resolution geological and geomechanical measurements vital to validate and constrain the processing of surface data (e.g. surface seismic) used across the field.  

Although the technical program may have a principal focus on acquisition and processing of borehole seismic data (Vertical Seismic Profiles), this workshop will be open to discussion of a wider range of geophysical techniques that utilize gravity, electromagnetic (EM), and microseis micsurveys, to name but a few. 

This workshop also welcomes discussions on advances in borehole geophysical data processing, including Full Waveform Inversion and Artificial Intelligence, and solutions enabled by data analytics and cloud computing.

The workshop will be divided into four distinct sessions: 

1. Latest Borehole Geophysics Data Acquisition Technology;

2. Pushing Borehole Geophysical Data Processing;

3. Integration of Borehole and Surface Geophysical Methods

4. Bridging the Scale Gap in Reservoir Characterisation and Monitoring.

We welcome Abstract Submissions on theoretical results and case studies on the following topics

  • Integration with Surface Seismic Data 
  • Acquisition Hardware Methods including Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) 
  • Time-lapse Reservoir Monitoring
  • Pushing Processing Technology
  • Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) 
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)
  • Acoustic Sonic and Non-Seismic Methods
  • Reservoir Characterization
  • Microseismic and Monitoring

Call for Abstracts is open, and interested parties are encouraged to submit abstracts in the standard EAGE format of 2-4 PAGES before the deadline 30 June 2019.
