Due to the ongoing travel restrictions and differing guidelines from companies and organizations, the AAPG Decision Based Integrated Reservoir Modeling GTW will now be taking place virtually from 1 – 4 February 2021 and then on-demand anytime, from anywhere, and from any device for the next 2 months. The workshop will provide the best opportunity to safely connect with industry colleagues and peers while travel restrictions, social distancing, and health concerns persist. The new dynamic all-digital platform makes it simple for you to access all the great science, networking, and technology to help you stay on the cutting edge of petroleum geoscience. Our businesses and industry are experiencing difficult times, but overcoming obstacles is what explorers do – so let’s do it together.
Following the successful 1st edition of the Decision based Integrated Reservoir Modeling GTW, the 2nd edition will focus on the latest technology and cost-effective approaches for building accurate and predictive 3D reservoir models for the oil and gas industry. Integrated reservoir modeling plays a pivotal role in the E&P workflow, where 3D quantitative geocellular models provide essential input for major oil and gas field development decisions. Static and dynamic data integration, new developments in 3D reservoir modeling techniques, and uncertainty quantification associated with reserves estimation, will be just a few topics, among others, to be tackled and discussed during the workshop.
Just like many industries, the oil and gas industry is embracing machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) technology that is expected to fundamentally transform the way we quantitatively characterize and model subsurface reservoirs. Fascinating geoscience-related ML and AI technological innovations, including challenges and opportunities, will be presented and debated. Will ML and AI help us achieve enhanced accuracy and cost-effectiveness when it comes to reservoir properties prediction and 3D reservoir modeling in complex reservoirs with large multi-disciplinary data?
The workshop will also include case studies presentations underscoring how advanced reservoir modeling technology and rigorous multi-disciplinary data integration facilitated the successful execution of complex field increments. Discussions are also expected on the most common pitfalls to avoid.
An optional one day field trip is planned in connection with the workshop.
Geologists, geophysicists, reservoir modelers, petrophysicists, reservoir simulation engineers, reservoir management engineers, project managers, data scientists, and team leaders working in exploration, field development, and technology innovation.

Over the past two decades, there have been major developments in the efforts to quantify the architectural elements, geometry, and dimensions of depositional bodies from analogues to provide quantitative input to geological models.
Analogues, especially ancient outcrops and modern analogues have played a crucial role in improving the understanding of subsurface reservoir architectural elements. They provide important information on subsurface reservoir geobodies size, geometry, and potential connectivity, which all contribute to better reservoir characterization. This is especially vital for highly heterogeneous siliciclastic or carbonate reservoirs that require the integration and detailed analysis of reservoir petrophysical properties, facies, diagenesis, geometry, depositional environments and lateral and vertical variability.
Robust subsurface reservoir models heavily rely on the available geological input data. Outcrop and modern analogue data from comparable systems provide additional input to geological models of the subsurface. This virtual field trip will provide valuable insights into the nature of this complexity.
The virtual field trip comprises a field study of a range of continental clastic modern systems and related sedimentary facies, each of which possesses attributes that are comparable in part to the subsurface deposits.
Virtual field trip attendees will gain knowledge about key competencies related to field geology, such as understanding the geomorphology of continental systems, seeing examples that explain sedimentary structures, textures, and facies, identifying depositional environments, and linking sedimentological observations to subsurface reservoir modeling.
One specific aim of this virtual field trip is to emphasize that integrated reservoir characterization and modeling processes take into account actual depositional trends and distribution of the sedimentary bodies (sediment-body geometry and heterogeneity), through the understanding of modern analogues settings.
This virtual field trip will provide insights and offer discussions of the following aspects:
