When: Friday, September 2nd, 2022
Where: Venue TBD, Houston, TX
This workshop will take the format of an open discussion between experts from operator companies, service companies, and universities on a wide variety of topics surrounding the future of borehole acoustics in a rapidly changing Energy industry, including the following:
- Development/characterization/modelling of wireline/LWD sonic tools now & 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?
- Role of borehole acoustics in CCS and geothermal technologies/workflows
This topical conference will be conducted as an “off-the-record” forum with no publication of any material presented. We encourage the presenters and participants to share their case studies, conceptual innovations, new methodologies and latest technologies. Video recording, photographing or quoting of speakers or their presentations will be expressly prohibited.
