First EAGE Data Processing Workshop

A common playground for all the traditional energy industry, Seismic Processing has become a foundation stone for all the activity related to the energy industry of the future and the energy transition. Moving from the evergreen 2D and 3D time processing it has been relentlessly evolving into 4D then 4C and became truly an ever larger domain becoming Data Processing spanning from Seismic to inversion from calibration to geotechnical integration in a never slowing pace of innovation. The Energy transition with all the requirements from renewables, critical minerals, decarbonisation, transition fossil fuels is demanding of a huge amount of data processing.

All this has been possible via two main enabling factors: Data acquisition technology step forwards and the availability of an unprecedented amount of Computing Power.

The full azimuth multicomponent high density data sets will allow to exploit a new frontier in the seismic imaging triggering a full technological value chain of new algorithms and work flows aimed at the most complex data inversions allowing to build subsurface models with a level of accuracy never reached so far. The necessity of building new offshore windmill farms or extensive solar plant onshore will demand for data processing in high resolution of the shallow portion of the earth crust, namely the near surface where the integration with geological and geotechnical data will allow an ever more requested de risking of the sites. Satellite imageries data will become more and more widespread as a backbone for accurate site characterisation in the domain of agriculture and forestry allowing to respect the challenging targets of the decarbonisation pathway.

A new dawn for data processing is already rising. Come to Cairo and join the debate about it!
