The purpose of this SIG is the advancement of the science of petrophysics and formation evaluation in non-traditional and new environments, in particular low-carbon industries such as geothermal energy; carbon capture, utilisation and storage; nuclear waste storage and non-hydrocarbon extractive industries. The SIG will also provide a forum to conduct technical discussions concerning data acquisition, applications, interpretation, create awareness of petrophysics and formation evaluation within these industries and to develop/promote industry standards.
This group also needs to promote ourselves within the non-oil and gas world to show there is a need for petrophysics in this endeavour towards a net-zero world. If you are exploring and drilling wells to record the subsurface with remote sensed equipment, better to have a petrophysicist to interpret this information. We are the experts!
It is open to all current members of the SPWLA who are directly involved or have an interest in learning or adding to the discussion around these different types of subsurface explorations. To sign up, please complete the form below and click submit.
