Topics
We would like to encourage you to submit your abstracts for oral or poster presentations on the following topics:
- Decoding the Frontier Margin: From Deep Earth to Deep Sea
Objective: Build a holistic understanding of the Algerian offshore margin.
- Margin evolution: rifting, transform zones, magmatism, crustal architecture.
- Integration of gravity, magnetic, and seismic data to define crustal domains.
- Stratigraphic and structural evolution of the Western, Central, and Eastern offshore.
- Source-to-sink systems and sedimentary dynamics.
- Key tectono-stratigraphic controls on hydrocarbon prospectivity.
- Seismic Data Processing & Imaging Excellence
Objective: Showcase Algeria’s capability in turning raw data into subsurface insight.
- Seismic acquisition design optimization for offshore environments.
- Processing innovation:
- Multiple attenuation, SRME, and deghosting in marine data.
- Advanced demultiple and noise suppression techniques.
- Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) and velocity model building.
- Least-Squares Migration (LSM), RTM, and amplitude preservation.
- Imaging challenges: sub-salt and basalt, deep reflectors, low S/N data.
- Time–depth conversion, tomography, and static modeling in nearshore zones.
- Machine learning in seismic QC, denoising, and attribute extraction.
- Joint inversion: integrating gravity, magnetics, and seismic for deeper imaging.
- Subsurface Characterization & Quantitative Interpretation
Objective: From seismic image to reservoir understanding.
- Quantitative interpretation (QI): AVO/AVA, elastic inversion, and rock physics.
- Seismic attributes for stratigraphic and structural interpretation.
- Integration of seismic, wells, EM, and gravity data.
