SPWLA 2011 Spring Topical Conference on "ACOUSTICS"

TAOS, NEW MEXICO
APRIL 3-7,

SAGEBRUSH INN & AND CONFERENCE CENTER


Petrophysics for deepwater exploration, appraisal, and production of oil faces challenges inadequately addressed using the wisdom, technology, and techniques built from experience in shallower, shelf areas. Unique challenges evolve as discovery and exploitation of oil and gas in water depths from 1 000 feet to approaching 10 000 feet become the new norm. Key topics for deepwater petrophysics will be covered to help frame and address many petrophysical questions and opportunities that are now confronted on a daily basis. To encourage sharing of the latest techniques and ideas, conference attendance is limited and proceedings are off the record. A formal application is available at www.SPWLA.org

Some possible topics to be included based on interests and expertise of attendees:
° Advancements in Acoustic Tool Design and logging services
° Quality Control of Acoustic Log Data
° Rock Physics Modeling
° Integration with Seismic, Geomechanics, and Petrophysics
° Accoustics Evaluation of Black Shales
° Acoustics Evaluation of Fractured Reservoirs
° Seismic While Drilling
