Short Course: Seismic Inversion and Rock Physics for Reservoir Characterization (11–15 January 2016)
INSTRUCTORS:
Dr. Mrinal K. Sen and Dr. Kyle T. Spikes
DATES
11–15 January 2016 at UT-Austin
RATES
$500/person for individuals from membership companies (Coffee, breakfast, and lunch provided daily)
$2500/person for individuals from non-membership companies
The EDGER Forum is offering a 5 day short course on the topic of integration of seismic inversion and rock physics for reservoir characterization. The rate for individuals from member companies will be $500. Limited space for individuals from potential member companies is available for $2,500 per delegate. Coffee, breakfast, and lunch provided daily as well as a group dinner on Thursday.
The course is open to consortium members to attend the week-long class, limited space is available for potential new members. Mrinal Sen and Kyle Spikes will co-instruct, using their expertise in inverse theory and rock properties. The morning sessions will consist of lectures and background information. Hands-on exercises will be the focus in the afternoon sessions. These exercises will be based on well log and seismic data provided from the EDGER Forum.
* Because a minimum number of participants will be required, we recommend waiting until after the registration deadline before booking travel and accommodation.
