Fifth EAGE Borehole Geology Workshop
Building on the success of the previous Borehole Geology Workshops, held in 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2021, EAGE is pleased to invite you to the 5th Borehole Geology Workshop, scheduled to take place in the oil capital, Dhahran on 21 - 23 November 2023.
The fifth EAGE Borehole Geology Workshop will emphasize the original scope of workshops, that meant to foster best practices and identify frontiers of the geoscience and technology to improve transforming 1-Dhole data to 3-D earth digital models.The intention is to provide a forum for the geoscience community to participate in most aspects of borehole geology, considering that it is a fundamental discipline to several global industries serving the mining, energy, and environmental sectors.
Submissions are welcomed under the following topics that use borehole data such as core, logs,images, and tests.
This workshop aims to promote discussion and knowledge sharing on the different aspects of borehole geology and on its related technological innovations, hydrocarbon reservoir and field studies, best practices, integrated approaches and applications in new fields. The workshop will also be a ground for triggering collaboration amongst borehole geologists and professionals of other subsurface disciplines.
Submission Themes:
1. Applications of sedimentology and structural geology
Subsurface reservoir architecture characterization
- Case studies of borehole data applications
Frontiers in multidisciplinary approaches of subsurface geology
2. Reservoir Architecture
Model construction, 2D and 3D restorations and fracture modeling
Reservoir geomechanics
Reservoir fractures / DFN
3D MEMs
3. Reservoir Attributes
Reservoir petrophysics
Water saturation
Reservoir geochemistry
Reservoir microseismicity
4. Well Operations
Advancements of coring, borehole logging, and geosteering technologies
Best Practices in challenging downhole Environments
Well stimulation / deep reservoir sensing
5. Data Science
New analytical & numerical approaches of earth systems and modelling
The value of numerical modelling
Digital transformation
6. Unconventional Reservoirs and New Energy portfolio
Case studies of challenging unconventional reservoirs
Hydraulic fracturing
Geothermal energy
Hydrogen storages
Carbon capture utilisation & storage (CCUS)
Plenary sessions will be organized to cover topics that are expected to be of interest for all the attendees. Poster and break-out sessions will be organized for the experts in specific topics to dig more into the details.
This workshop is intended for an intensive informal exchange of ideas, insights, and technical information. As such, the participants will be encouraged to share their experiences on what works all the time, what works some of the time, and what never works. Unresolved problems or unsuccessful case histories are therefore welcome and ad-hoc breakout sessions will be organized along with discussion sessions which can be used to bring valuable lessons to the foreground.
