Topics

We are inviting contributions to various aspects of subsurface characterization and well-operations enabled by and involving borehole geology as central theme. The audience typically comprises geologists, petrophysicists, geomechanics specialists, and reservoir engineers with diverse experience in subsurface. Participants will share their experience from different businesses, including oil and gas, geothermal, CCUS, mineral exploration and waste disposal.

1. Classical Applications in Sedimentary and Structural Geology

  • Subsurface reservoir characterization

  • Case studies of borehole data applications

  • Frontiers in multidisciplinary approaches of subsurface data

2. Addressing Reservoir Architecture 

  • Structural modeling, including structural restorations and fracture modeling

  • Mechanical Earth Models (MEM) and Reservoir geomechanics

  • Heterogeneity and Anisotropy

3. Quantifying Reservoir Attributes

  • Petrophysics (porosity, permeability, saturation)

  • Geochemistry (maturity, migration, diagenesis)

  • Micro-seismicity

  • Integration of Core/ Plugs with borehole measurements

4. Well Operations and Technology 

  • New measurements in borehole geology (borehole images, mud logging)

  • Advances in coring, borehole logging, and geosteering technologies

  • Best practices in challenging downhole environments (drilling and formation related)

  • Wellbore stability and drilling geomechanics

  • Well completion, stimulation, deep reservoir sensing enabled by borehole geology

5. Data analytics in borehole geology

  • AI/ML enabled workflows in borehole image interpretation

  • Uncertainty evaluation/quantification and ranking of image log interpretations

  • Innovative solutions and Case studies

6. Sustainability in Energy Mix

  • Geothermal energy

  • Hydrogen exploration and storage

  • Carbon capture & storage (CCUS)

  • Waste disposal (drilling waste, nuclear waste)
