Workshop 12

Geophysical Reservoir Monitoring: Managing the 4th Dimension in a Challenging Business Environment. Monday, June 8th |

Convenors

  • Didier Lecerf  (TGS)
  • Abderrahim Lafram (TotalEnergies)
  • Mark Thompson (Equinor)

Description

Geophysical Reservoir Monitoring (GRM) is gaining traction, requiring long term commitment to successfully manage the subsurface. At the same time the business environment is experiencing increasing uncertainty, making long term monitoring decisions harder to make.

This workshop will explore the role of new and innovative use of acquisition, imaging, inversion, and interpretation technologies to mitigate the challenging business environment and ensure that reservoir management value is realised.

Sub-Topics that will be covered in the workshop:

  • Acquisition
  • Imaging
  • Processing
  • Inversion
  • Interpretation
  • Data driven Methods
  • Model driven Methods
  • New ways of working
  • Case studies

Participant Profile

The workshop is for those who work with reservoir monitoring and wish to share experiences and learn about new technologies that could form future ways of working.
