The 3rd International Workshop on Rock Physics will be held from the 13th to the 17th April 2015 in Perth, Western Australia.
The workshop will review recent advances in theoretical, experimental, computational and applied rock physics and steer future research.
Perth is home of a vibrant rock physics community drawn from Curtin University, University of Western Australia and CSIRO as well as the petroleum, mining and service industry.
The organisers invite everyone interested in rock physics to come to Perth and share their ideas and insights with like-minded colleagues.
Topics include:
Laboratory rock physics: methods and recent advances
Quasi-static and frequency dependent elastic properties
Dielectric measurements and link to elastic properties
Petrophysical and micro-structural rock characterization
Core flooding in combination with acoustic and CT imaging
Relation between rock physics and geomechanical properties
Water weakening
What rock physics is needed for unconventional resources exploitation
Case studies and current industry practice
Signatures of fractured rocks and hydraulic fracturing
Influence of anisotropic stresses
Shale oil and gas
Coal seam gas
Acoustic emissions and micro-seismicity
Rock physics for 4D – reservoir surveillance and CO2 monitoring
Discrimination between saturation and stress effects
How can we make AVO methodologies more quantitative?
Integration with reservoir flow simulations
Chemically-induced rock property changes
Effect of opening and closing of fractures under varying stress and pore pressure conditions
Feasibility of 4D monitoring in carbonates
