Fifth EAGE Workshop on Rock Physics

Advancements in Rock Physics: Embracing the Fourth Industry Revolution

Following the success of the previous editions held in Dubai 2012, Oman 2014, Istanbul 2016 and Abu Dhabi 2017, EAGE is planning a fifth Rock Physics workshop to take place in Milan from 10 - 12 February 2020.  Through the understanding and theoretical tools Rock Physics provides, this workshop has historically offered a great platform and opportunity to gain insight on the recent advances in rock physics modelling and its applications in exploration, development and reservoir monitoring. 


As rock physics becomes an ever more important part of integrated modelling and interpretation workflows, this fifth edition of the workshop will focus on the interaction with other disciplines and geophysical domains, as well as on some key trending aspects in rock physics modelling such as anisotropy, uncertainty and modelling of tight and fractured rocks.  

The programme already boasts an inspired layout of the seven technical sessions we wish to focus on:

  • Geomechanics & Pore Pressure Prediction 
  • Unconventional Resources
  • Quantitative Seismic Interpretation & Uncertainty 
  • Experimental Rock Physics 
  • EOR and Time-Lapse Rock Physics
  • Integratrion of Multi-Physical Data   

And one of the highlighted sessions we can look forward to will also look ahead at how Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques will impact the current industry practices and help overcome some of the key challenges faced by the rock physics community.  The technical committee welcome you to submit your paper on case studies or technologies on the above listed topics.
