2nd Advances in Geophysical Solutions for Complex Geological Settings Workshop

Who Should Attend?

• Exploration, development and production geoscientists
• Geophysical acquisition, processing, imaging and inversion practitioners
• Academia, university and research consortia
• New energy geoscientists – for CCS, geothermal, mining and other applications
• Geophysical equipment manufacturers – seismic, non-seismic and borehole

This workshop brings together industry and academia to exchange advanced geoscience insights, explore emerging technologies, and tackle key challenges in imaging and modelling complex geological settings. It aims to define priority research directions and develop a roadmap to advance geophysical practice.
