Patron's Welcome Message

It is my honour to serve as the Patron of the EAGE/FESM Conference, Petrophysics Meets Geoscience, taking place from 18-20 November 2025 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This landmark event underscores the pivotal interplay between Petrophysics and Geoscience - not as isolated disciplines, but as synergistic forces that drive effective multidisciplinary integration with Engineering. The theme, "Unlocking Reservoir Potential in a Dynamic Energy Landscape," reflects our collective challenge to address the complexities of today's reservoirs, maturing assets, and the demands of the energy transition.

As a Patron, I am proud to support this initiative because I believe deeply in the power of collaboration and partnership as this conference embodies PETRONAS' conviction that progress is best achieved through collaboration. Here, ideas will converge through technical sessions, panel discussions, and exhibitions and reinforce the belief that our industry's greatest strength lies in its collective wisdom. May the dialogue and discoveries forged inspire solutions that will shape a sustainable future for our industry and the world.

I look forward to welcoming you to Kuala Lumpur and to the conference.

Mohd Nazlee Rasol
Vice President Development, PETRONAS


ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE) and the Formation Evaluation Society of Malaysia (FESM) proudly present this premier, high-impact technical conference, convening renowned global experts, leading researchers, and industry pioneers to foster cutting-edge advancements in integrated reservoir characterization through the synergy of petrophysics and geoscience. This collaboration aims to create value and ensure sustainability in the evolving energy landscape.

Scheduled to take place from 18-20 November 2025 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, this event offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary platform bridging petrophysics, geology, geophysics, and related domains—from nano-pore scale rock-fluid interactions to basin-scale reservoir development strategies. As the industry continues to adapt to new energy demands, the conference will explore innovative, cross-disciplinary methodologies and emerging technologies, including AI-driven analysis, advanced logging-while-drilling (LWD) and data acquisition tools, quantitative interpretation (QI) and 4D Time-lapse techniques.

These advancements are redefining modern reservoir evaluation by harmonizing subsurface disciplines to address increasingly complex reservoir challenges, including CCS, energy transition, and the push for net-zero solutions, while promoting cutting-edge applied research and industry applications.

Participants will engage in deep technical discussions, expert-led panels, and real-world case studies, addressing key industry challenges and sharing breakthrough innovations. This conference represents a strategic opportunity to drive forward-thinking solutions, foster collaboration across disciplines, and shape the next phase of subsurface resource optimization and sustainable energy development.

 

Key highlights will include:

  • Integrated Reservoir Characterization

  • Rock Physics, Seismic Petrophysics & Quantitative Interpretation (QI)

  • Geomechanics

  • Digital Innovations in Reservoir Characterization

  • Innovation in Data Acquisition, Processing and Analysis

  • Core Analysis Application

  • CCS

  • Brownfield Redevelopment & Near-Field Exploration

  • Unconventional and Complex Reservoirs

  • Sustainability and Energy Transition

  • Risk Assessment in Reservoir Characterization
