About the Event
The 3-day event will feature a dual virtual/physical field trip to Jebel Madar to characterise and understand the fracture systems in this structure, which is considered an unaltered analogue to nearby subsurface field developments.
The ensuing 2-day long technical sessions will then cover the following key topics:
Topics
New insights into NFR
Recent progress in the understanding of NFR in geological formations
Linking NFR from outcrop observations with sub-surface characterisation
Structural diagenesis
Optimising NFR representation in numerical models
Application domains
Geothermal systems (e.g., EGS)
- natural and induced fracture transmissivity, thermal short circuiting
Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS)
- caprock integrity
- storage
- mineralization
Static and dynamic characterisation of fractured aquifers
Geoenergy storage
Old and new knowledge - using expertise from Oil & Gas in new energy - what could be learned, what is not applicable and why
Tools & Methods
Use a virtual reality (VR) data set from Jebel Madar to compare observations and conclusions from the field trip with this outcrop seen in virtual reality and address the following topics
- VR and how it is used as an emerging technology to characterise subsurface system
- advances and limitations
Data science approaches for uncertainty evaluation
These topics are covered in keynote speeches, presentations, and discussion sessions.
We invite reservoir engineers, (hydro) geologists, geophysicists, rock and geo-mechanics specialists, geo-modelers, researchers and more to attend and contribute to this workshop.
