Upcoming Research Workshops

• 2008 Summer Research Workshop: “Emergent and Challenging Issues in Rock Physics:  Rock this House!” proposed by Mark Kittridge, Tad Smith, and Keith Katahara, A. Cheng, it will include aspects of the topic “Shale petrophysics & seismic geomechanics”
   
• Post-convention workshop organize by the SPWLA/SEG (also possible for 2008 Beijing as in China well logging and GP are couple). The topic selected for the post-convention workshop is “Recent advances in resistivity logging tools and their business impact”
   
•  "Popular advances in exploration geophysics topics" in support of the IGY and EGY, workshop or special event
   
• Proposed topics for 2008 Annual SEG Conference Post-convention Workshops:
   

1. Recent advances in resistivity logging tools and their business impact by (Ian Zhang, Tom Barber, Qiang Zhou (SPWLA))

2. Shale petrophysics & seismic geomechanics (Colin Sayers, Ali Tura, Ran Bachrach)

3. Reliability of Seismic Attributes after Depth Migration (Sergio Chavez and Nader Dutta)

4. Carbonate rock physics (Aya Kameda, Ronny Hofmann, Mark Kittridge, and Arthur Cheng)

5. CO2 sequestration (Stephan Gelinsky, Lianjie Huang, Cengiz Esmersoy, and David Lumley)

6. Soft computing methods in exploration- neural network applications& data mining (Dave Wilkinson, Stewart Levin and Matthias Imhof)

7. Smart oil field- Geophysical methods for reservoir surveillance- Passive aggressive seismic (Ali Tura, Kurt Strack, Dave Wilkinson)

8. Backup workshop: Anisotropy in geophysics (Norman Allegar and Kurt Strack).

Additional: Monday session: Recent Advances and Road ahead (A. Cheng and K. Strack)

                  Wednesday session: Beyond the Horizon (Y. Shoham, D. Smits, and R. Bachrach)
