SEG launches IQ Earth

Do you believe SEG could do more to facilitate multidisciplinary subsurface integration in the oil and gas business? If so, we have good news! SEG has launched a new initiative called IQ Earth. The goal of IQ Earth is no less than “creating a fundamental change in visualizing and predicting subsurface structure, rock and fluid properties; driven by renewed focus on multidisciplinary integration and the new quantitative earth model paradigm, applied by the next generation subsurface scientist, and developed from a core foundation of geophysical data.”

The official IQ Earth kickoff event will be a SEG Forum, held 26–28 January 2010, in Charleston, South Carolina, USA. This forum is designed to bring together thought leaders in key aspects of IQ Earth, including people, process, and technology.

Norwegian oil company StatoilHydro has assumed a leadership position with a US$1 million sustaining investor commitment to the SEG Foundation, which was announced in Las Vegas, USA, last year during the closing celebration of the Advancing Geophysics Today – Inspiring Geoscientists for Tomorrow campaign. StatoilHydro’s investment will support a multiyear initiative, including additional workshops, publications, and sponsored research.
