"ACOUSTICS and PETROPHYSICS"
Integrating seismic, borehole measurements, and laboratory measurements for geomechanics and reservoir characterization

TAOS, NEW MEXICO
APRIL 3-7,

SAGEBRUSH INN & AND CONFERENCE CENTER


Acoustic well logging measurements are most versatile with many valuable applications in the oil industry. They are used for well placement, geomechanical interpretation, reservoir characterization, and production enhancement; used by drillers, petrophysicists and geologists alike. Scale varies from centimetre lab measurements to well logs to seismic integration on the scale of hundreds of metres. Acoustics are also one of the more complex measurements to understand and interpret. This meeting is intended to bring together industry experts and end users of acoustic data to present new technologies, explore applications, share experiences, and discuss challenges. To encourage sharing of the latest techniques and ideas, conference attendance is limited and proceedings are off the record.

Some possible topics to be included based on interests

[1] Laboratory rock physics and acoustic characterization
Core-base velocity and geomechanical analyses, low frequency measurements, evaluation of dispersion, etc.
[2] Wellbore acoustics - acquisition, processing, interpretation
Wireline and LWD acoustic logs, advances in tool design, cased hole acoustic logging, logging in horizontal wells, seismic while drilling; Real-time acoustic processing, acoustic log QC and post-processing, fracture analysis, geomechanics, borehole seismic processing and integration
[3] Seismic petrophysics workflows
Fluid replacement, core-log integration, impact of invasion
(4) Cased Hole Applications
Cased hole shear for porosity and lithology
[5] Case histories - unconventional and conventional reservoirs
Rock physics modeling, reservoir acoustic properties, shale/overburden elastic properties, stories about how we use the technology.
[6] Challenges and emerging issues
