Call for Participation

2000 SEG D&P Forum
Snowmass, Colorado * 14-19 May

Quantitative Prediction of Reservoir Properties using Geophysical Data

The focus of this forum will be on the application of geophysical data for making quantitative predictions of reservoir properties such as porosity, lithology, saturation and pressure (including their changes over time due to production) with particular attention to issues of measurement scale, error and uniqueness.

Forum Topics

• Facies and lithology prediction
  
  
• Fractured reservoir characterization
  
  
• Upscaling and downscaling
  
  
• Forward modeling the geophysical response to rock properties
  
  
• Uncertainty, error and non-uniqueness
  
  
• Conditioning to static and dynamic data
  
  
• Data integration

Meeting Format: The meeting will comprise a mixture of poster and oral presentations. Sessions will be themed on desired outcomes rather than methods. Posters will be displayed all week and will allow additional opportunity for focussed discussion amongst small groups. As in previous years, the poster sessions start with a short introduction using two view graphs. Delegates will have the opportunity to attend all posters during formal sessions. Oral presentations will complement the poster sessions and will include keynote speakers for each major topic. Experience of previous D&P Forums is that discussion sessions are lively and wide-ranging: the proportion of delegates that actively participate is very high.

Acceptance: Direct participation of all Forum attendees is strongly encouraged. Participation may be through poster or oral presentation or discussion contributions. Although neither oral nor poster presentations are a requirement in order to be accepted for registration, if the number of applicants exceeds the capacity of the conference facilities then preference will be given to presenters.

Abstracts: There are no formal proceedings from the Forum. In an effort to encourage candour, presentations are made in an "off the record" spirit. However, participants are welcome to distribute expanded abstracts of their own presentations if they choose.

Due Dates: Deadline for submitting an application is 01 February. Applications can be mailed or faxed. Final registration information will be mailed to applicants by 01 March and must be returned with payment by 05 April.
