In 2018, the third edition of the EAGE Workshop on Naturally Fractured Reservoirs focused on the calibration issues when characterizing and modelling these reservoirs. In this regard, the adequate use of conceptual models and appropriate multidisciplinary data was discussed in constraining our static and dynamic models.  The challenges to evaluate and capture the related uncertainties were as well exposed. 

For this fourth edition, we would like to dedicate the workshop to future aspects of fractured reservoirs. This will be done keeping in mind all the fundamental progress achieved during the recent past in the domains of: fracture mechanics, structural history and its impact on loading and fracturing paths,characterization methods for fracture distribution statistics, static modelling of fractured reservoir and development of fractured reservoir-dedicated flow simulation methods.
