Workshop Overview
The EAGE Borehole Geology Workshop aims to facilitate
knowledge sharing and promote discussion on a multi-disciplinary approach for borehole imaging data. Comforted by the
success of the first workshop held in Dubai, 2014 the organising committee now invites you to submit abstracts and participate in the second workshop to be held in Malta, October
2016. The subject matter of the workshop will continue to be
the acquisition, processing and interpretation of borehole images, with a special focus on the following topics:
The role of borehole images in the development of static
models.
Novel acquisition, processing and interpretation techniques.
Integrated workflows for multi-disciplinary results.
Application of image logs in well placement.
The latest developments in the acquisition of borehole image
logs whilst drilling has seen the production of increasingly
higher resolution data sets. These high-resolution images have
rejuvenated the industrys interest for a more accurate geological characterization of reservoirs and the potential value for
reservoir understanding and management. This is increasingly
more important as hydrocarbon recovery becomes more complex either through the development of more complex static
models or the need for IOR/EOR. Borehole image data sets are
increasingly used throughout the field development life cycle.
Applications of these data sets include constraining property
modelling with lithofacies, electrofacies and sedimentary body
geometries, through to completion design based on quantitative fracture analysis.
The workshop objectives are to provide a space for learning,
mutual understanding and identification of collaboration opportunities between borehole geologists and other disciplines
involved in asset management around the world. The organizing committee is especially interested to invite both oral and
poster presentations from multi-disciplinary teams. This will
enable discussion on how borehole image data is being used
to great effect across the industry to solve emerging challenges in reservoir management.

Abstracts of 2-4 pages, including optional figures are invited.

The deadline for submissions, which can be uploaded via the
EAGE website, is Monday 29 February 2016. Please submit abstracts on the following topics:
The Role of Borehole Images in the Development of
Static Models

Abstracts should describe how information derived from
borehole images should be applied in 3D static modelling,
e.g., as a structural control, to drive lithofacies and sedimentary geometries in property modelling or as quantitative
fracture input for fractured reservoir modelling etc.
Novel Acquisition, Processing and Interpretation
Techniques
Abstracts should introduce new data acquisition tools and
new methodologies to extract geological and petrophysical
properties from borehole images and/or present borehole
image interpretation workflows.
Integrated Workflows for Multi-Disciplinary Results
Abstracts should demonstrate the value of using image log
data within multidisciplinary workflows.
Application of Image Logs in Well Placement
Accurate well placement is fundamental to production optimization and borehole images play an integral part in
achieving this. Abstracts are invited on strategies and new
technologies to achieve maximum reservoir exposure in horizontal wells where borehole images play a key role.
