2018 SEG Rock Physics and Digital Rock Applications Workshop
Since the beginning of the 21st century, research topics and methods for oil and gas rock physics/ petrophysics have undergone significant changes. In pursuit of integrated and efficient exploration and development of unconventional resources (such as shale oil and gas, tight oil and gas), rock physics research has focused on the micro-pore structure of inorganic pores and organic matter, non-Newtonian flow, fracturing monitoring, mechanisms of micro-fracture network formation and characterization methods, and mechanisms of enhanced oil/gas recovery and applications. Based on the methods of digital rock and mineral composition characterization, fast numerical simulation, and big data and machine learning as new tools, rock physics research is now moving to the directions of microscopic, dynamic, nonlinear, multi-scale, and multi-source data fusion.
This workshop will highlight new ideas that are taking place in rock physics, focusing on unconventional oil/gas and new tools for micro-nano digital rock while discussing new methods, new theories, and new techniques that could be game-changers in the fields of rock physics for unconventional hydrocarbon accumulation, seismic reservoir prediction, logging formation evaluation, drilling and completion engineering, fracture network formation mechanism and monitoring, and more.
The workshop will feature world-class keynote presentations (such as Dr. Dirk Smit of Shell and Professor Dave Weitz of Harvard, etc), discussions, and brainstorming to further enhance the exchange among participants in the fast-advancing field of rock physics.
We look forward to your participation and contribution.
We invite abstracts for the following topics from 1 Jan 2018:
- Digital rock methods and applications (lab- and field-scale)
- Seismic rock physics
- Petrophysics for well logging formation evaluation
- Rock physics in drilling and well completion
- Fracture characterization experiments and methods
