We plan to discuss current and future research efforts to resolve some of the main technical challenges in the field. The audience involved in this domain is wide: i.e., Exploration Geologists for the basin / prospect scale knowledge, Operations Geologists for well planning and execution, Scientists in research positions who are advancing the theory of rock property evolution, Petroleum Systems Analysts for their basin modeling expertise, Geophysicists for seismic attributes knowledge, Geomechanical Engineers for rock failure analysis and Well Engineers directly involved in well design and execution.
Specialists in all of these disciplines are thus invited to this forum. Obviously pore pressure, fracture gradient and geomechanics specialists from all parts of the value chain are also key participants of this workshop given their role in combining the theory and data to make and communicate their predictions.
Pore pressure and fracture gradient prediction and detection are key components of efficient exploration for hydrocarbons and their safe production. The impact of this area of science can influence all parts of the value chain from basin entry, prospect ranking, exploration planning and drilling, development, abandonment and, more recently, carbon capture and storage.
