Fueled by the recent surge in artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities and the development of advanced depth imaging workflows, seismic imaging is undergoing a transformative revolution. The 7th Rock Physics Workshop delves into this paradigm shift, exploring how rock physics principles are now playing a critical role in unlocking the full potential of these technologies for enhanced reservoir characterization. The workshop will showcase how cutting-edge advancements, such as Full Waveform Inversion (FWI), Extended FWI (EFWI), and deep learning, when synergistically integrated with rock physics knowledge, are ushering in a new era of seismic imaging.
This era promises unparalleled detail and accuracy in characterizing the subsurface. Moving beyond theoretical discourse, the workshop will bridge the gap between theory and practice. It will explore how recent advancements in rock physics research are being translated into practical workflows and tools specifically designed for seismic imaging and reservoir characterization. Real-world case studies will be presented, equipping participants with the knowledge and expertise to leverage these advancements for optimized exploration and development strategies.
