SPWLA Acoustic SIG Fall Workshop
Borehole Acoustics Workshop: The Road Ahead
Chevron
1400 Smith St,
Houston TX 77002
September 2nd, 2022
Fee: $50
Registration is CLOSED. There will be no on-site Registration.
This workshop will take the format of technical presentations and a panel discussion between experts from the E&P industry:
- Development/characterization/modelling of wireline and LWD sonic tools now and in the future.
- Development/characterization/modelling of wireline and LWD ultrasonic tools and new applications they could bring.
- Novel applications of both wireline and LWD data in open and cased hole. What could be developed to ensure borehole acoustics is increasingly relevant going forward?
- The application of machine learning and multi-physics approaches to borehole acoustics data. Could it allow us to do things we can not do now?
The workshop will consist of oral and poster
presentations followed by a lively panel discussion.
