W-04 Grand Challenges for Applied Geophysics

Applied geophysics has a major role to play in the development of environmental impact assessment and monitoring of renewable energy sources such as geothermal, hydro, nuclear, wind, wave, tidal, and solar. Many future opportunities will require a refocusing of our most powerful 3-D imaging and inversion methods from the deeper earth toward the near surface.

W-08 The Role of Geophysics for Carbon Capture, Usage, and Storage, Part 1: From Exploration to Reservoir Characterization in Saline Aquifers or Depleted Oil and Gas Fields

Implementing carbon capture, usage, and storage (CCUS) projects at large scales is becoming a growing subject of interest for the geophysics community. This workshop will present what is already achievable but also the unknown and specificities that the geophysical community will face in the future.

SC-8 Practical Machine Learning Methods in the Geosciences

Learn the high-level principles of five important topics in machine learning: neural networks; convolutional neural networks; support vector machines; principal component analysis; clustering methods. This short course is for physical scientists who have heard about Machine Learning (ML) and might know some details, but lack enough knowledge to assess ML applications in their specialty.

SC-10 Log Interpretation of Clastic Depositional Environments

Being able to interpret environments of deposition using open-hole logs is a skill most geologists and engineers desire. The purpose of this course is to use a systematic approach that uses the process of elimination to diagnose common fluvial, shallow marine and deepwater depositional environments in well log suites such as Gamma Ray, Resistivity and Porosity and in Borehole Image and Dipmeter Logs.

Validation of Juxtaposition and Membrane Fault Seals in Oil and Gas Exploration West Africa

In this talk, we will review various techniques to assess exploration and appraisal fault seal analysis. These ideas have been developed over the past 20 years based on hundreds of case studies. We will explore the importance of basic mapping skills to ensure consistent and good seismic interpretation and mapping. We will explore the difference between exploration, appraisal and development fault seal analysis. Fault seal capacity will be reviewed using a range of West African fields and stochastic hindcasting. The basis of these techniques is detailed in Murray et al. 2019. The tools and techniques are appropriate for every subsurface professional. In particular, we will consider what sorts of cognitive bias will impact your ability to assess fault seal.

Diversity & Inclusion Series: Growth Mindset Essentials

Implementing the growth mindset can change everything. Understand how the brain is wired, how our mindset is developed over time, and how to change it. Learn the basics of brain mechanics, how to overcome obstacles, and rewire biases. Discussion will include the mechanics of thought and behavior. We will take time to mindfully create a new mindset to drive new behaviors, responses, and results. Stretch yourself and watch new opportunities unfold in front of you. The course is based on empirical evidence from neuroscientists in the science of possibility.
