5-day Short Course: Seismic Inversion and Rock Physics (5-9 January 2015)
REGISTER ONLINE
INSTRUCTORS:
Dr. Mrinal K. Sen and Dr. Kyle T. Spikes
DATES
5-9 January 2015 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 catered dinner on Thursday.
The course is open to consortium members to attend the weeklong 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.
