Sixth EAGE Workshop on Naturally Fractured Rocks
25-29 October 2026, Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia
Go beyond the traditional workshop with a unique five-day technical experience that connects real-world field observations, industry technology, expert-led technical discussions and advanced training.
This specially curated programme brings together field learning, technical knowledge exchange and two days of specialist training, giving participants the opportunity to follow the complete journey from understanding fractured reservoir geology in the field to applying advanced approaches to reservoir characterization and modelling.
Start the programme with an exclusive opportunity to explore the geological characteristics of the Dammam Dome through a dedicated field trip, followed by a visit to the SLB Technology Center. Gain practical insights, see how industry technology is applied and connect field observations with real-world subsurface challenges.
Immerse yourself in two days of technical presentations, expert discussions and knowledge exchange, bringing together specialists to explore the latest developments, challenges and approaches in fractured reservoirs.
Integrated Fracture Reservoir Characterization & Modelling
Extend your learning with an exclusive two-day joint short course covering:
Integrated Fracture Reservoir Characterization and Modelling
Multi-phase Flow, Upscaling and the Construction of Fractured Reservoir Models
The courses will be led by renowned experts Prof. Stephan K. Matthai (University of Melbourne) and Dr. Pascal D. Richard (PR Geology), providing participants with advanced technical knowledge and practical approaches that can be applied to real reservoir challenges.
✓ See it in the field – gain first-hand exposure to the geological characteristics of the Dammam Dome.
✓ Experience industry technology – visit the SLB Technology Center and gain insight into real-world applications.
✓ Exchange knowledge with experts – participate in two days of high-level technical discussions and presentations.
✓ Build advanced technical skills – benefit from two days of specialist training in fractured reservoir characterization and modelling.
✓ Connect the dots – move from field observations to technical interpretation, characterization and modelling within one integrated programme.
