Why you should attend
• Strong focus on practical solutions
• Direct access to world-class experts from academia, service providers and operators
• Online pre- and post-workshop follow-up discussions
What we know, what we think we know, what we need to do
The value of microseismic and other passive seismic data is measured by their capability to impact business critical decisions. Although microseismic data have been used extensively to this effect, often the decision makers receive mixed messages from their technical experts with respect to the validity and accuracy of processing and interpretation results from microseismic projects. This workshop focuses on topics and problem solutions that have a direct impact on the cost-effective application of microseismic data.
Putting the ‘work’ back in ‘workshop’
This highly interactive workshop brings together some of the leading experts in the fields of planning, acquisition, processing and interpretation of microseismic data and allows the participants to work on specific solutions for concrete and current problems in the application of microseismic data.
Interactive Format – Conversation Café
Invited keynote speakers and discussions in the morning will introduce the different problems and provide some background information. The poster session during an extended lunch break then provides an opportunity to explore and discuss these topics in more detail. In order to tap into the combined knowledge of the participants, the afternoon will be dedicated to discussions of specific problems in very small groups before concluding the day with a summary that clearly captures the learning and problem solutions.
Avalon’s Staff Geoscientist – William Wills is on the technical committee.
EAGE Workshop
Unlocking the Potential
Building on the success and growing interest of the past Borehole Geophysics workshops, EAGE would like to invite you to the fourth in this series, scheduled from 19-22 November 2017.
For many decades, wireline and more recently, LWD logging of boreholes has provided geophysical data that are fundamental to the understanding of reservoir behavior. Modern techniques have enabled measurements in new, more challenging environments and this mass of data has meant that, with an integrated approach to interpretation, operating companies can gain a far greater understanding of reservoir behavior than ever before.
However, the current upheaval in the oil market has brought the economics of borehole data acquisition and interpretation into sharp focus. Borehole geophysics continues to be an important part of many exploration strategies but operating companies are being forced to try to maximize the value of their data with significantly reduced budgets, headcount and expertise.
The aim of this workshop is to try to capture the current state of borehole geophysics technology, to share advances in techniques, case studies and lessons learned. The workshop will be open to anyone with a role or interest in borehole geophysics, including academics, operators and contractors and it is hoped that experience and knowledge will be readily shared in order to advance this important discipline as part of a portfolio of available reservoir technologies.
The workshop will build on the successful format used previously: a series of technical sessions over three days where key players in this discipline from around the globe have the opportunity to showcase their work, including case-studies, technical breakthroughs and developments in acquisition equipment and techniques used to gather borehole data. As well as oral presentations, poster submissions will be encouraged and space will be available for a small number of selected companies to display their products and services. There will be ample time to meet with old friends and colleagues and to forge new friendships. A social program will be arranged to allow visitors to enjoy what Abu Dhabi has to offer.

Avalon Sciences to attend the 87th SEG Conference and Exhibition
About the event
For 87 years the SEG Annual Meeting has served as a focal point for the oil and gas industry.
The SEG International Exposition brings together nearly 400 leading companies, government agencies, research and educational institutions involved in global oil, gas and mineral exploration, and new areas of civil engineering, environmental and archaeology. These organizations take advantage of the vast exhibition spaces offered by SEG to create the most impressive display of the latest technology and services.
The SEG Annual Meeting 2016 takes place in the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Centre, and features a robust Technical Program consisting of oral presentations, poster sessions, eposters and workshops that address the most cutting-edge issues, innovations, and developments in the geoscience field. The Technical Program of last year’s SEG Annual Meeting in New Orleans, CO drew from over 1,600 abstracts from industry experts.
And yet the sheer scope of the SEG International Exposition and Annual Meeting has led to the creation of a week-long event unlike any other, featuring opportunities and events beyond the exhibition floor or the technical sessions that serve to advance geoscience on a professional and personal level for the thousands of attendees who participate each year.

“Into the Abyss – Borehole Seismic Challenges of the Deep” – William Wills, Avalon Sciences, introduces the technology and its application for subsurface seismic mapping and monitoring within deep hostile well environments.
The domain of seismic exploration is fast approaching a new era in technological advancement, with the dynamic and challenging requirements for mapping and monitoring continually increasing as complex, hostile well environments dominate over shallower conventional hydrocarbon reservoirs. The deployment of seismic recording systems (geophones) deep within the well to acquire high resolution data has become common practice over the last few decades. This technology has been dominantly used to complement surface seismic surveying bringing advantages such as noise reduction, immunity from the distorting effects of near-surface rocks, and increased vertical resolution. This talk introduces the evolution of the technology, nomenclature and acquisition methods associated with both downhole Vertical Seismic Profiling (VSP) and their ‘unconventional’ application for the monitoring of hydraulic-fracture induced micro earthquakes.
William Wills is a staff Geoscientist for Avalon Sciences, Somerset UK where he has been involved globally in the upstream E&P service business for nearly a decade. Will specialises in the acquisition and processing of borehole seismic data, often acquired in some of the deepest reservoir zones in the world. Will is a fellow of the Geological Society of London, and sits on the EAGE technical committee for both Passive Seismic technology and 3D borehole Geophysics.
The Seminar will be from 1700-1800 on Monday 13th March in the Level 8 SOEE Seminar Rooms.
