Geophysical Applications for Exploration & Development in Shallow Water and Transition Zones

About

11–12 July 2023
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Workshop Overview

The workshop focuses on geophysical applications in exploration and development, highlighting technological advances and improved workflows. It will focus on various geophysical methods covering a broad range of topics, from advances in survey design to developments in data processing and data integration in addressing exploration and development objectives. The potential adaptation of these technologies for use in onshore and deep-water settings will also be discussed. In addition, workshop attendees will have the opportunity to discuss the impact of emerging trends such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, robotization, and alternative business models.

Attend

Who should attend?

Geoscientists, acquisition specialists, exploration venture managers, and academics who have an interest in new advancements in geophysical applications for exploration and development.

Workshop Overview and Format

The format of the workshop will feature presentations by invited key experts in their field and share their experiences. The workshop will serve as a unique opportunity to have an open and extended discussions among the participants.

6 sessions (2 days). We will aim for one keynote speaker per day with closing session at the end of the workshop to serve as outlook going forward. The Oral presentations are made up of 30 min talk for each keynote and 20 minutes for speakers. After each session 30 minutes discussion session will be planned. The objective of this session is allow participants to discuss in details and learn from each what has worked for them and debate on issues and challenges facing them during their daily workflows. Session chairs will also serve as discussion leaders during the 30 minutes.

Poster Presentations are also welcome to give ample time to the delegates to discuss the poster topic with the author(s). Posters will be in displayed in the workshop room.
