2013 IQ Earth Forum

Visualizing & Predicting the Integrated Earth

4-8 August 2013
Boston, Massachusetts, USA

The exploration, development and production of oil and gas today demands multidisciplinary, integrated, subsurface evaluations built upon a broad range of diverse data that must be harmonized over the life-cycle of the field discovery and production. This forum seeks contributions and examples from industry practitioners of how integrated teams, integrated data, and integrated interpretations have accelerated success in their business. These new ways of working, new types of data and new relationships provide insights into integration that are driving some of the most innovative and exciting changes occurring in our industry. They will serve as the basis for future improvements in safety, efficiency and effectiveness in our recovery of more difficult and diverse reservoir hydrocarbons. The creation, visualization and exploitation of multidisciplinary shared earth models are the goals of the IQ Earth Project. Be a part of this evolutionary genesis!

Come share and learn about leading edge capabilities at the Second Annual IQ Earth Forum! We welcome oral and poster presentations on every aspect of how we do integrated interpretation from exploration forward, for example:

• Interpretation case studies
• Reservoir characterization
• Quantitative risk reduction
• Multidisciplinary visualization
• Interdisciplinary prospecting
• Geoinformatics
• Borehole Geosciences
• Integrated G &G modeling
