Welcome
EAGE presidents welcome
On behalf of the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers, I am honoured and privileged to invite you to join us in Vienna for the 73rd EAGE Conference & Exhibition. Once again, we will join forces with our friends and colleagues at SPE by incorporating the SPE EUROPEC event. This unique collaboration allows us to present not just the largest but the most significant, multi-disciplinary geoscience and technology event of its kind in the world. The event brings together all the common interests of geoscientists and engineers who are dedicated to increasing our knowledge of the Earths subsurface (from near to depth perspective) and exploiting its resources sustainably, while respecting the environment. The selected conference theme in 2011 could not be chosen more accurately: Unconventional Resources and the Role of Technology, a timely acknowledgement of the contribution our disciplines can make to the finding and production of oil and gas from other than usual geological features, to meet the ever-growing world energy demand. Delegates will certainly be satisfied by a sound technical programme of best-in-class oral and poster presentations and dedicated special sessions on a huge range of topics. Alongside an impressive exhibition, we will again be supported by leading companies and institutions from all around the world. This year, just to keep with a well-established tradition, the main conference and exhibition will be complemented by an extensive choice of workshops, field trips, educational courses and for the first time: the EAGE Forum. Not to mention the ever-expanding student programme and all the activities surrounding it that now has become an event in its own right. EAGE believes in the importance of young professionals for our future. Let me also thank a great European city, Vienna, where EAGE is returning for the third time in recent years. With its historical and cultural heritage admirably blended with modern facilities, I am sure it will lead us smoothly from high-tech research and business to the notes composed by undisputed maestri of classical music, such as W.A. Mozart and the extraordinary Strauss family. I hope to meet with many of you during this memorable week, if not before, then at our special conference evening. Herzlich willkommen in Wien!
SPE presidents welcome

Dear colleagues, I am delighted to invite you to attend SPE EUROPEC 2011 and the 73rd EAGE Conference and Exhibition, taking place from 23-26 May 2011 at the Reed Messe Wien in Vienna, Austria. Among the largest and most comprehensive geoscience events in the world, the event theme this year is Unconventional Resources and the Role of Technology. We will bring together industry experts, professionals, academia and government agencies to share ideas on research and emerging technologies and how both can help our industry to create sustainable supplies whilst ensuring we always consider the environment. The Reed Messe Wien is one of the largest convention centres in Europe and its central location provides the perfect base for exploring Vienna. Home to Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Johann Strauss, the city is synonymous with music and has a lively and vast array of cultural attractions. We are delighted that 2011 will see SPE and EAGE work together for the seventh year in a row on this exceptional event. We sincerely look forward to meeting you at SPE EUROPEC and the 73rd EAGE Conference and Exhibition in May next year.

Invitation to Vienna
Dear colleagues, Ashiq Hussain, the Chairman of the Local Advisory Committee, has decided to step down from this assignment in the process of his retirement from OMV. We all wish Ashiq the very best and may all his wishes for the next phase of his life come true. I am honoured and excited to step in for him and to serve as the new Chairman of the Local Advisory Committee for Vienna 11, the 73rd EAGE Conference & Exhibition incorporating SPE EUROPEC. Actually Ashiqs invitation address published in the First Announcement clearly describes the drivers and current goals of the oil industry and how geosciences and subsurface reservoir management can help to unlock the ever more difficult to find resources. The theme Unconventional Resources and the Role of Technology has been well selected against the background of the changing energy focus of the industry, politicians and other opinion leaders. Innovative solutions will be needed to make this change a success. Innovative thinking and making innovative ideas happen are the core skills of our business. Finding, developing and producing unconventional resources often require different skill sets than for the approach to conventional resources. May this conference and not least the unique setting of Vienna, inspire our specialists, especially the young ones, to move to new grounds, new ideas and new solutions. I am convinced that this conference will become a milestone on our common journey to more, cleaner and sustainable energy. See you all in Vienna! Walter Hamilton Chairman, local advisory committee

Executive Session on Caspian Region - An Overview of the Exploration Trends in the Broader Caspian Basin 08.30 12.10 hrs Chairmen: Gabor Tari (OMV Exploration & Production) Mike Simmons (Neftex)
EAGE president Davide Calcagni, writes: Im really pleased to announce the EAGE Forum, a new initiative to complement our programme for Vienna 2011. This exciting development is aimed at executives and professionals of any discipline in the geoscience and engineering community. With the help of the Vienna 11 local advisory committee (LAC), we have devised a special morning in which a selected panel of distinguished experts from industry, academia and international agencies in the energy field will cover the theme of the forum. The format will include introductory speeches followed by an open debate in which the audience is invited to contribute with written questions. We hope the theme we have chosen Unconventional Thinking: a Way to Exploit Unconventional Resources and Develop Unconventional Technologies will stimulate debate. After all, innovative thinking will be a key enabler for technology and business in the coming decade. Our sponsor OMV and EAGE are delighted to announce that Dr Wolfgang Schollnberger, a former senior vice president of E&P technologies at BP and Amoco, will be our chair for this first Forum. His experience includes sitting on many committees dealing with energy issues in US Congress. The LAC and I sincerely hope that this initiative will really meet with your approval and that we can count on an attendance worthy of the occasion. Senior executive managers lunch (by invitation only) 12.10 13.30 hrs Speaker: Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner (Professional Mountain
Climber)
Whereas the Caspian Basin is an exceptionally long-lived petroleum province which provided huge amounts of hydrocarbons to date, there are some very important challenges facing both the NOCs and IOCs to maintain exploration success in the region. Historically, initial production was from onshore fields and their extension in the shallow offshore waters. Currently, there are deepwater wells getting drilled using semi-subs in 800+ m water depth in the South Caspian Basin. Besides the general trend of moving from onshore to offshore, it is the technology advances over the past several decades that increased the ability to find, drill and develop additional hydrocarbons, leading to dramatic increases in production. More recently, advances in completion technologies, 4D seismic, high pressure drilling technologies, extended reach drilling and a deeper understanding of the Caspian pressure and fluid systems have allowed additional discoveries and development projects in various parts of the basin. This session will explore the current exploration trends in the broader Caspian Basin in the light of their particular challenges as viewed by prominent technical experts working in this region. Conference evening 19.00 23.30 hrs, Vienna Hofburg All registered full delegates and registered family members are invited to this wonderful evening.
Thursday 26 May (date to be confirmed)

Executive Session on Middle East Region 08.30 12.10 hrs Chairman: Pinar Yilmaz (ExxonMobil)
Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner is an Austrian mountaineer. Her interest in mountain climbing developed at a young age. By age 13, she completed climbing tours at the local Sturzhahn. As she pursued her nursing training in Austria, she continued to hone her skills by participating in numerous ski, ice, and climbing tours. At age 32, Gerlinde climbed her fifth 8000m, Nanga Parbat, and decided to pursue professional mountain climbing fulltime. Together with Edurne Pasaban and Oh EunSun, she is one of only three women who have climbed at least thirteen of the fourteen eight-thousanders. Kaltenbrunner does her climbing without supplemental oxygen. The senior executive managers lunch is sponsored by BGP and Paradigm.
The Middle East oil and gas industry commands significant reserves to meet the global energy demand, but increasingly complex exploration and development challenges must be met to ensure the timely delivery of necessary volumes. Some producing countries have embarked on major capacity-expansion projects in recent years. However, the impact of new supplies from global unconventional resources need to be considered in todays supply and demand scenarios. Panelists will consider what this willl mean for E&P strategies and investment.
Please note the executive sessions and the EAGE Forum are open to all delegates.

Workshops
Workshop 1
Effective Parameterization of Seismic Data, with Applications to Incoherent Shooting, Data Compression and Sparse Inversion
Sunday 22 May, 09.00 17.00 hrs Convenors: Craig Beasley (WesternGeco) Guus Berkhout (Delft University of Technology)
Workshop description Today, a seismic survey contains terabytes of complex data and volumes keep on growing. This means that the industrys need for effective parameterization is high, allowing large seismic data volumes to be represented by a relatively small number of basis functions (sparse representation). Until now, popular basis functions are Fourier components (monochromatic plane waves) and curvelets (multi-dimensional wavelets) but these choices still require a large number of parameters to yield a sufficiently accurate representation of the measurements. New, promising proposals are emerging that include the hard physical relationships in seismic data. It is expected that these proposals will have a great influence on the way we will acquire, process and store seismic data in the future.
sand dunes, topography, karsted carbonates, dry river beds, outcropping refractors, velocity reversals and basalt flows. These features create a variety of problems related to energy penetration, scattering, source-generated noise, surfacegenerated multiples, statics and source and receiver coupling. New solutions to these problems can now be considered, due to advances in seismic acquisition and processing technologies: full waveform inversion, inversion of surface-wave dispersion curves, use of microgravity data and electrically-based methods in joint inversion with seismic data may be used for building better near-surface velocity models for seismic processing and for identifying shallow drilling hazards. On the other hand, the growing use of large multi-parameter geophysical datasets for engineering and environmental problems requires efficient and automatic processing and interpretation technologies and imposes a move from manual procedures to industrial approaches that are typical of hydrocarbon exploration. The cooperation with hydrocarbon industries on near-surface characterization opens new opportunities for introducing new technologies and exploiting high-quality and challenging datasets for improving our knowledge about near-surface properties in relevant areas from the environmental and geo-hazards point of view. Full waveform inversion, surface-wave dispersion curve inversion, micro-gravity and electromagnetic methods are just some of the possibilities for cooperative research. Workshop objectives and deliverables The goal of this workshop is to identify opportunities for collaboration on near-surface characterization among technical experts from the hydrocarbon industry, experts from the hydrology, engineering and environmental industries and experts from research institutions. Workshop format Presentations on current and emerging technologies will be arranged by topic, with ample time for discussion, aimed at a broad survey of possible technologies for collaboration. Topics may include but are not limited to full waveform inversion, surface wave dispersion curve inversion, micro-gravity and electromagnetic methods. Who should attend Technical experts from the hydrocarbon industry, experts from the hydrology, engineering and environmental industries and experts from research institutions involved in the determination of near-surface properties.
Workshop 2
Near Surface Characterization Hydrocarbon Exploration and Engineering Two Worlds, a Common Task
Sunday 22 May, 09.00 17.00 hrs Convenors: Timothy H. Keho (Saudi Aramco) Valentina Socco (Politecnico di Torino)
Workshop description Due to the advent of rapidly developing seismic acquisition and processing technologies, the hydrocarbon industry is now moving beyond the conventional traveltime-based statics solutions for near surface characterization. It is therefore time to pursue greater collaboration between the hydrocarbon industry and hydrology, engineering and environmental science, which have been beyond traveltimes for many years. In the hydrocarbon industry, a new era in land seismic is at hand. Growing energy demand will spur greater efforts in hydrocarbon exploration and development into regions of the world where hydrocarbons occur in land environments. Interpreters will require accurate near-surface solutions for mapping low-relief structures and stratigraphic traps and to improve data quality for placing horizontal wells. This will require solutions to the near-surface challenges such as

Exploration in Mature Areas Case Studies from the Alpine, Carpathian and Pannonian Regions
Sunday 22 May, 09.00 17.00 hrs Convenors: Hans-Gert Linzer (RAG) Gabor Tari (OMV Exploration & Production)
AVO on Land What Factors and Technologies Need to Be Addressed in Order to Improve Results
Sunday 22 May, 09.00 17.00 hrs Convenors: Ralf Ferber (WesternGeco) Martin Schachinger (RAG)
Workshop description Oil production started in the Carpathians in the1850s, in the Vienna and Pannonian basins in the 1930s and the foreland of the Alps in the 1950s. Since classical times of oil and gas exploration along the Carpathian and Alpine mountain belt, more exploration areas were identified in the same broad region, including hinterland and intramontane basins. Recent hydrocarbon discoveries disprove pessimistic assumptions about the projected decline of production in some basins. New exploration concepts and cutting-edge technologies are keys to uncovering the substantial remaining potential. This workshop will address regionally the play types of the foreland basins of the Alps, the western, eastern and southern Carpathians, including the adjacent folded belts and the back-arc Transylvanian, Pannonian and Vienna basins. Besides placing special emphasis on advancements in regional geology and play concept thinking, the impact of 3D seismic visualization/structural modelling will also be addressed. Workshop objectives and deliverables The goal of this workshop is to bring together technical experts from oil companies, contractors and academic institutions who are active in the broader Alpine, Carpathian and Pannonian regions to highlight their latest results as related to hydrocarbon exploration. The workshop also aims to identify areas where new ideas and/or the innovative application of new technologies could result in exploration breakthroughs in the next decade. Workshop format Presentations by invited speakers and interactive group discussions of some typical case studies, trying to determine what worked in the past and what the future of exploration should look like in the coming years in the region. Who should attend This workshop is designed for professionals in the oil & gas industry and in academia, who are interested in regional and structural geology, sedimentology and seismic interpretation. The workshop is aimed at people whose principle interest falls into any of the following categories: Geology Geophysics Basin evolution and modelling Hydrocarbon exploration Earth Science Research
Workshop description We have probably all read statements like AVO-friendly processing workflows or true amplitude processing but what do we really mean by this? It is probably easier to define what actually is AVO unfriendly or amplitude information destroying processing. While these are difficult issues for both marine and land data, it is true that land AVO processing is less successful than its marine counterpart. This is not the least due to the near-surface distortions. The aim of this workshop is to shed further light on AVO friendliness, for land data acquisition, data conditioning, processing and imaging. We would like to invite contributions especially from the field of land seismic source wavelet estimation and deconvolution, estimation and compensation of nearsurface distortions, estimation of near- and deeper subsurface absorption effects and not the least, from quality control procedures to verify the claims of AVO friendliness. However, we also welcome any contribution that addresses further aspects relevant to the success of land AVO studies. Workshop objectives and deliverables The goal of this workshop is to bring together technical experts in land seismic data acquisition, processing, imaging and inversion from oil companies, contractors and research institutions, to discuss and explore improvements in the quantitative amplitude analysis of land seismic data. Workshop format Presentations by invited speakers, plenty of time for discussions ll participants are encouraged to share their experiences A to promote improved quantitative amplitude analysis of land seismic data. Who should attend This workshop is designed for professionals in the oil and gas industry and in academia, who are interested in the addressed topic. The workshop is aimed at people whose principle interest falls into any of the following categories: Survey design for land seismic data Amplitude and phase fidelity of acquired seismic data and consecutive data processing Absorption estimation and compensation for land seismic data AVO/AVA studies for land seismic data

Electromagnetics for Integrated Reservoir Development What Needs to Be Done?

Monday 23 May, 09.00 16.00 hrs Convenors: David Alumbaugh (Schlumberger) Daniele Colombo (Saudi Aramco) Lucy MacGregor (OHM)
The Agora in Ancient Greece and the modern AGORA in the centre of Vienna
Workshop description This is the first in a new series of joint EAGE-SPE workshops entitled AGORA which will be established as an annual event. The EAGE and SPE wish to promote integration in the industry and to be seen as providing world-leading service for their membership, in addressing the ongoing need for the deeper integration of geoscience and engineering. NB: the choice of AGORA is appropriate for two reasons. The AGORA in Vienna is an inspiring space, serving as a meeting place on the banks of the DonauKanal, not far from the Reed Messe Wien. The Agora was likewise the heart of ancient Athens, the focus of political, commercial, administrative and social activity, the religious and cultural centre and the seat of justice. Workshop objectives and deliverables World-class AGORA workshop will include: Demonstration of best-in-class in current practice World leaders in their field of expertise A range of disciplines addressing geoscience and engineering An opportunity to share and learn An opportunity to challenge current practice An opportunity to network A benchmark of the state of the art for the present and the future The AGORA series is intended to become the gold standard for integrated and cross-disciplinary technical dissemination. Workshop format The morning sessions will be arranged with the introduction of the state-of-the-art concepts followed by discussions. The afternoon will consist in a syndicate working session. The workshop will wrap up with a business case study. Who should attend All technical professionals involved in integrated subsurface projects geologists, geophysicists, petrophysicists, reservoir engineers and production engineers.
Workshop description Electromagnetic techniques have the potential to dramatically improve field development and management by providing complementary information to that gained from seismic and other geophysical approaches. EM methods are sensitive to reservoir fluid distributions and the resistivity parameter can span over orders of magnitude, whereas seismic impedance variations might be negligible. Three-dimensional reconstruction of resistivity distributions in a static or dynamic (i.e., time-lapse) approach could have a major impact on field management, especially when coupled with reservoir simulation models. Determination of saturations from resistivity distributions is the goal of integrating EM into the field development workflow. The workshop will address outstanding questions related to acquisition geometries (surface, surface-borehole, crossborehole), to the instrumentation and sensors to be used (some to be developed), the sensitivity of measurements, resolution, repeatability, inversion/imaging and the necessary integration strategies with seismic, reservoir simulators and other available information. The workshop will also focus on the increasing complexity of parameter distributions, conductivity upscaling/ downscaling, electrical anisotropy and rock physics effects that are not normally taken into consideration in an exploratory environment. The topics of discussion will emphasize three-dimensional electromagnetics, quantitative analysis, engineering imple-

mentations, integration, petrophysical aspects, modelling results, real application examples and how to fill in the gaps in the integrated field development workflow. Workshop objectives and deliverables The goal of this workshop is to bring together technical experts from oil companies, service providers and research institutions to describe the state of the art in integration of EM methods into the field management workflow and to outline the way forward. Workshop format Presentations by invited speakers, poster sessions and interactive multi-disciplinary team discussions will be used to address the current and future applications of electromagnetic techniques to reservoir studies. Who should attend Professionals in the oil and gas industry and in academia who are interested in field development and reservoir monitoring applications. The workshop is aimed at people whose principal interest falls into the following categories: Reservoir engineering Geophysics Geology Petrophysics Earth science researchers
The workshop will cover the following aspects of remote sensing: Developments in the fields of activity covered in the first workshop, to provide an update in the established techniques, like mapping of geology and structure for infrastructure and logistic planning High-resolution mapping from satellite radar and multispectral data as well as airborne hyperspectral, radar and LiDAR for high-resolution geological and structural mapping Multi-temporal radar and LiDAR mapping for dynamic mapping of the Earths surface, with applications in geotechnical and hydrocarbon projects Integration with gravity data derived from satellite imagery for basin mapping in exploration concessions Cross-validation and integration with ground-based geophysical data for propagation of geological and structural delineation from the surface into the subsurface A set of invited speakers will set the stage with a few tutorials and key notes and the workshop will proceed with contributed oral and poster papers. Authors are welcome to submit their contributions by contacting the workshop convenors directly. Plenty of time will be reserved for discussions, as sharing ideas and experiences is a major workshop goal. Workshop objectives and deliverables The main goal of the workshop is an inter-disciplinary exchange of technology and experience among geologists, geophysicists in both near-surface and hydrocarbon applications and remote sensing scientists. Bridging these disciplines can provide all of us with new tools for daily activities. Often, the related skills are sparse among academia, small or large contractors and large oil companies, whose interactions are often limited. This workshop is aimed at reducing these barriers. Workshop format In the first half of the day, a number of invited speakers will present tutorials and key notes overviewing the state of the art. In the afternoon, contributed papers and posters will be presented to focus special topics and introduce new achievements. A final discussion among all attendees is aimed at mapping the road ahead for coming research and industrial applications. Who should attend This workshop is designed for professionals in the oil and gas industry and in academia, who are interested in how to employ remote sensing data in the oil and gas industry. The workshop is aimed at people whose principle interest falls into any of the following categories: Geophysicists involved in acquisition planning and processing for seismic land data Geologists for both large and local-scale studies Remote sensing experts Environmental scientists and engineers

High-resolution Remote Sensing Observations Radar, Lidar and Multispectral Techniques

Monday 23 May, 09.00 16.00 hrs Convenors: Franco Coren (INOGS) Andreas Laake (WesternGeco) Fabio Rocca (Politecnico di Milano) Workshop description The last EAGE workshop dedicated to remote sensing was held in Rome in 2008. Since then, the rapid development of satellite imaging and airborne laser and imaging sensors have broadened the possibilities for applications in the oil and gas industry. New technologies using widely available highresolution images, both in the optical and the radar domain, have been developed. In addition, highly detailed digital terrain models are made available by the use of the new LiDAR sensors. New ways of calibrating remote sensing data with the scope of generating real geological and structural models are possible. Multi-temporal images allow the generation of timelapse images, which provide information about the dynamic behaviour of the surface and subsurface. The scope has also broadened from dry, arid deserts, which were the prime topic in the first workshop, to global challenges in arctic or humid climatic zones.

Participants This workshop is designed for Earth scientists who are interested or involved in numerical methods to image the Earth from geophysical data.
Workshop 9
Workshop description Improving the investigation of the Earths interior is crucial in seismology, the oil & gas industry and earth sciences in general. Such improvements strictly depend on the capacity to enable geophysical and geotechnical tools to analyse continuously increasing amounts of data and to simulate processes of continuously increasing complexity. Seismic imaging heavily relies on the solution of the wave equation; electromagnetic imaging on the solution of the Maxwell equations in a conductive media. Over the last thirty years, geoscientists have developed and used many numerical methods to analyse their data. The choice of interpretation methods clearly relates to the capacity of the highperformance computing. In this way, seismic imaging uses various approaches for modelling, such as asymptotic (raybased) methods, one-way approximations and more recently, full-wave equation methods. Since a couple of years, seismic imaging considers full acoustic wave equation solved by finite differences. Similarly, electromagnetic imaging on complex geological structures is mainly based on finite-difference solutions of the Maxwell equations. Over the last few years, the trends are clearly towards more precise modelling which, for instance, includes anisotropy, attenuation and elasticity while considering strongly varying topographies. This is crucial to address our current imaging challenges and to take advantage of the new acquisition developments. Workshop objectives The objectives are to provide an overview of the most popular and most advanced technologies and to discuss the trends in numerical methods for Earth imaging. This includes: Anisotropic, elastic, visco-elastic or poro-elastic modelling and their applicability to imaging Numerical methods such as finite-difference, finite-element methods and their applicability to imaging Implementation (parallelization) of the numerical methods on current and new hardware New trends in numerical methods for imaging (gradient methods with approximated Hessian, stochastic methods, ) Workshop format We plan to invite field experts to discuss some of the most common methods, both in seismics and electromagnetics. We would also like to encourage you to present some of your work. Please check the EAGE website for contact details.
Unconventional Gas Resource Moving from Appraisal to Full-scale Development

Monday 23 May, 09.00 16.00 hrs Convenors: Marco Brignoli (Eni SpA) Marita Gading (Statoil) Daniel Perez (Schlumberger Overseas) Ben Stewart (Halliburton)
Workshop description Unconventional gas plays (like shale gas and CBM) are becoming ever more important outside the traditional North American areas. Technology advancements have allowed unconventional resources to be economically developed in the United States, where gas coming from such resources supplies a continuously increasing amount of the energy production. On the other hand, unconventional gas resources are generally at an earlier stage of development in other parts of the world. To accelerate such development, two main factors are essential: first, a proper transfer of the existing unconventional gas knowledge and second, its combination with new technologies and processes tailored to specific resource plays. The workshop aims at giving different perspectives to the unconventional gas development issues, with emphasis on European and North African resources, by grouping together participants from various professional groups and specialties, going from geology and geosciences to reservoir, drilling and production engineering. Shale gas and CBM resources development requires a real multi-disciplinary integration from the exploration phase to the production phase. Therefore, attention will be given not only to the field and business cases that will be presented, but also to open questions and issues in technical, economical and environmental areas. The workshop will focus on what differentiates the evaluation and development of an unconventional resource and stimulating unconventional thinking, part of the afternoon session will be devoted to interactive discussions of the key elements for optimum asset development. Workshop objectives and deliverables The purpose of the workshop is to group together various discipline experts from oil companies, service companies, academia and research institutions in order to: Share the situation of unconventional gas through the review of representative field cases Discuss present technical limitations and challenges and how to accelerate the learning cycle from appraisal to full development phase
15
Discuss the potential impact of development of unconventional resources on adjacent markets Learn particularities with respect to environmental and social issues that will impose a different approach, outside North America, to the development of unconventional gas resources The outcome of the interactive session will be collected and summarized in the form of bullet points. Such a memo and a copy of the slides presented will be distributed to the workshop participants shortly after the event. Workshop format Presentations by invited speakers, multidisciplinary team approaches, collaborative and interactive discussions will be used to illustrate various unconventional gas technical and economical issues All participants are encouraged to share their experiences and to promote knowledge transfer Who should attend The workshop is designed for professionals in the oil & gas industry, academia and research institutions who are actively involved in unconventional gas themes; particularly people whose principal interest falls into the following categories: Geosciences Reservoir engineering Production engineering Drilling engineering Environmental energy representatives Government energy representatives Business development representatives
Moving from geological concepts to realistic 3D reservoir models requires both a good understanding of the subsurface data, choosing reliable analogues and using software tools capable to create representative geo-cellular models.
is the best modelling approach/technique that will allow us to extrapolate the conceptual model to the three-dimensional space, obtaining realistic end results? Several techniques using a geo-statistical basis (pixel-based simulation (SIS, SGS, TGS, pluri-Gaussian simulations, object-based modelling, etc.) are being used extensively in the industry. Other newer techniques, as yet in an immature stage, such as Multi-Point Statistic (MPS), process modelling with cellular automata, etc, are being developed mostly by research institutions and integrated into commercial products by the service companies. The workshop will provide an ideal platform for geologists/modellers to share case studies where different geo-cellular modelling techniques have been applied to reservoir models and to obtain an update on technological advances. In particular, the topics will cover the following: deterministic versus stochastic approaches, old and new geo-modelling technologies, high-resolution models versus fit-for-purpose modelling. Workshop objectives and deliverables This workshop is part of a renewed effort of the EAGE to focus more attention on the role of reservoir geology input to the static and dynamic model. The goal of this workshop is to bring together key technical experts from oil companies, service companies and research institutions to discuss and explore best practice in translating geological information such as sedimentology, reservoir architecture, petrophysical property distribution, etc., into digital geo-cellular model(s). The workshop also offers the opportunity to discuss the benefits and disadvantages of different modelling approaches used for different sedimentary environments and at different stages of the field life cycle (e.g., discovery, green versus brown field). Discussion of which geological information and parameters are most sensitive in the geo-cellular models and how to improve the modelling of related uncertainties, will be crucial. A shared view on the state-of-the-art of the geo-modelling techniques and approach, a list of the key challenges and unsolved problems in this area will be the key deliverables of this event.

Monday 23 May, 09.00 16.00 hrs Convenors: Richard Labourdette (Total) Andrea Moscariello (Delft University of Technology and TNO) Adam Robinson (Addax Petroleum)
Workshop description Over the last five years, both the industry and academia have relentlessly attempted to improve the way geological information, such as sedimentology, reservoir architecture and property distribution, can be translated accurately from a concept to a physical, mathematical, geo-cellular model. The main challenges in this process are well known: 1) how can we develop correct and reliable geological conceptual models based on often sparse data (either wells or seismic)? and 2) what
16
team approaches, will be used to illustrate the challenges and progress on workflows and modelling approaches in representing the subsurface architecture and reservoir connectivity Poster presentations as stand-alone items or to compliment oral presentations are also welcome All participants are encouraged to share their experiences to promote improved understanding of all aspects of reservoir geo-modelling Who should attend Geo-modelling is a fundamental step in subsurface characterization, which attempts to capture and summarize several concepts and inputs in a geo-cellular form, often very complex, from a large array of disciplines. This workshop is therefore designed for multidisciplinary professionals in the oil and gas industry and in academia, who are interested in how to perform accurate and realistic reservoir models. The workshop is aimed at people whose principle interest falls into any of the following categories, both in industry and academia: Geology Geophysics Petrophysics Reservoir Engineering
Workshop objectives and deliverables The goal of this workshop is to bring together key technical experts from oil & gas companies, power companies, contractors and research institutions, to share experiences in Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS), with a particular focus on storage, and to discuss the challenges for large-scale implementation. Workshop format Presentations by invited speakers, interactive group discussions and multi-disciplinary team approaches will be used to illustrate the challenges for large-scale implementation of underground CO2 storage All participants are encouraged to share their experiences to promote improved understanding of all aspects of underground CO2 storage Who should attend This workshop is designed for professionals in the Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) industry and in academia, who are interested in developing underground CO2 storage for largescale implementation.

E&P Information and Data Management Best Practices

Friday 27 May, 09.00 17.00 hrs Convenors: Tore Hoff (Statoil) Achim Kamelger (OMV Exploration & Production)
Workshop description Currently, a relatively small number of CO2 storage demonstration projects are running around the world. The largest ones coming closest to the industrial-scale storage required are Sleipner, Weyburn, Insalah and Snohvit. In order to meet CO2 reduction targets, as set for example by the European Commission, a rapid increase both in the number and scale of projects is required. Currently, six large-scale demonstration projects in Europe (UK, NL, ESP, IT, D, PL) are envisaged to start before 2015, which should cover the entire chain of capture, transport and storage (CCS). This workshop aims to bring together Earth scientists and engineers to discuss their latest experiences with CO2 storage and the challenges we are facing for large-scale implementation. Topics that will be covered range from site characterization to the optimization of injection strategies to monitoring and verification technologies. A broader discussion on public perception will be included.
Workshop description E&P business is increasingly becoming more connected in many different ways and, as the degree of separation of different E&P internal disciplines shrinks, the amount of information we have to handle on a day-to-day basis seems to have exploded. In order to be competitive, we need an flexible organization that can adapt to the flood of largely redundant and sometimes conflicting data. We need to increase the awareness that data is the most valuable asset and, as we share more information, connectivity is also enhanced and it is not just data management technology that works better together but the people managing those systems establish better working relationships, leading to more effective operational collaboration and ultimately, to competitive advantage. However, the more we share data and information in E&P, the more we realize that we have to deal with
17
several repositories with the same or worse almost the same data and business applications across the different lines of business, leading to islands of information. For historical reasons, business applications were designed to meet operational business needs for specific areas of focus and were only aligned inside the organization. Therefore, each vertical business segment has created an application architecture for its success only, without alignment with other business lines. This has created a high potential for operational cost increases and a negative impact application portfolio on the corporate level. Workshop objectives and deliverables In this workshop we aim to show best management practices for structured, spatial and unstructured data. We will discuss the integration of modern information management technologies along E&P business processes. Furthermore, we want to analyse the impact and applicability of different information management methodologies to our day-to-day work. Workshop format Presentations by invited speakers Interactive discussions after each session Who should attend This workshop is designed for professionals in information management in the oil and gas industry. The workshop is aimed at people whose principle interest falls into any of the following categories: Information Management Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Document Management E&P Business Application Portfolio Management Business Process Management
addressed are the areas of modern structural geology, where there is already a significant overlap between the interests of both academia and industry. There are several sub-fields at the perimeter of the broader discipline of structural geology, where modern analytical and interpretational techniques have been introduced (e.g., tectonic geomorphology) with direct applications to exploration issues, during only the last decade. Workshop objectives and deliverables The primary objective of this workshop is to bring together technical experts from oil companies, contractors and academic institutions to discuss and explore the mutually important areas of modern structural geology. The workshop also aims to identify areas of modern structural geology, where more overlap/collaboration between academia and industry could be expected in the coming years. Workshop format Presentations by invited speakers and interactive group discussions of some typical case studies, trying to determine what worked in the past and what the future of modern structural geology may look like from a combined academia/ industry point of view. Who should attend This workshop is designed for professionals in the oil and gas industry and in academia, who are interested in the advancement of the broader field of applied structural geology. The workshop is aimed at people whose principle interest falls into any of the following categories: Structural geology Tectonics Basin evolution and modelling Geophysics Geomorphology Age dating by radiometric methods Remote sensing Hydrocarbon exploration

Petro-elastic and Lithology-fluid Inversion from Seismic Data

Friday 27 May, 09.00 17.00 hrs Convenors: Henning Omre (Norwegian University of Science & Technology) Pierre Thore (Total)
Workshop description Whereas in some cases academic research has very little impact on exploration methods in the oil and gas industry, there are more and more recent examples to the contrary. As the field of structural geology continues to rapidly expand, some cuttingedge methods and sub-fields could only be incorporated in the explorationists toolbox by collaboration with academia. Not too surprisingly, small to medium-sized oil companies, not having their own research departments, tend to increasingly outsource specialized structural geology projects to academic groups with the appropriate expertise. Topics that will be
Workshop description During exploration and production, seismic data and well observations provide valuable information about hydrocarbon reservoirs the former is imprecise with good spatial coverage while the latter is precise but local in space moreover,

general reservoir experience create constraints on the reservoir description. Combining these pieces of information to provide a representation of the reservoir that is suitable for decision making constitutes a major challenge. Various methods exist to invert from migrated seismic data and well observations to physical reservoir properties like petro-elastic variables and/or lithologyfluid classes, using simulation and/or optimization algorithms. This task appears as a challenging multi-scale, multivariate, nonlinear and ill-posed 3D inverse problem. The link between the lithology-fluid classes, the petro-elastic properties and the seismic data is complex and approximate models must be used. The well observations should be used to estimate parameters in the approximate models. The intrinsic ill-posedness of the inversion makes it necessary to enforce geological and physical constraints on the solution. This ill-posedness and therefore the importance of constraints, is further aggravated in reservoir forecast studies because geomodels used for dynamic flow simulations typically require heterogeneity description below the vertical seismic resolution. The workshop covers all aspects related to the items mentioned above, seen in an inversion setting. Presentations of real dataset applications are strongly encouraged. Workshop objectives and deliverables The workshop aims at providing the following: Exchange of experiences from users, toolmakers and researchers Status and identification of bottlenecks in the current procedures Overview of existing techniques and the potential to combine them Discussions on assessments of uncertainty, particularly in frontier areas List of crucial challenges Workshop format The workshop will be organized with: One invited lecturer on state-of-the-art methodology with invited opponents Four to six contributed oral presentations Plenum and group discussions
Who should attend The workshop is of a truly inter-disciplinary character, based on geologic experience, seismic data and well observations and resulting in a reservoir description suitable as input to fluidflow simulators. Hence users, toolmakers and researchers from the following broad range of disciplines will be challenged during the workshop: Reservoir geology Rock physics Geophysics Petrophysics Reservoir engineering Earth modelling Inverse problems If you wish to contribute to the workshop, please do not hesitate to contact the convenors.

the city centre. Excellent four-storey buildings in the style of Art Nouveau were built in huge numbers, covered by splendid decorative stone from Austria and Europe. The guided walking tour will lead us from the museums via the emperors castle to Kohlmarkt and Graben, which have continued to be main roads from Roman times until now. A wide variety of carbonate, clastic and metamorphic rocks was used to decorate the most expensive buildings like banks, trading houses and even some private houses. The type of rock and its provenance will be explained during our tour, walking from one building to another. The tour will finish at Hotel Sacher, famous for its worldrenowned Sacher Cake, to taste this Viennese specialty.

the thrusting style of Alpine tectonics demonstrated from elevated positions near Bad Vslau (Harzberg) and on top of the Hohe Wand, where also the development and structure of the Vienna Basin, with a large normal fault and an active strike slip fault, will be explained. A secure path along the Hohe Wand enables a close view of an Upper Triassic reef development. The Southern Vienna Basin is a region of traditional geothermal utilization in terms of wellness and spa facilities. The known geothermal springs are connected with different circulation systems in the basement of the Southern Vienna Basin developed between the margin and a large eastwards dipping tight faultplane (Leopoldsdorf fault). On its western upthrown block the geothermal systems are characterized by low mineralization due to active recharge by meteoric surface waters, establishing circulation systems into depths of several kilometers. In the downthrown block high saline waters and a nearly stagnant system has established, which might be used in the future to cover the increasing demand for energetic geothermal utilization for local housing and agricultural heating purposes.

The Koralm Railway Tunnel, an Important Part of the European High Speed Train Corridor
Friday 27 May, 08.00 20.00 hrs Field trip leader: Ewald Brckl (Vienna University of Technology) Peter Seifert (Geological Survey of Austria)
Field trip 2
Field trip description The Koralm Tunnel is part of the Baltic-Adriatic corridor and represents the central section of the new high-speed railway from Graz to Klagenfurt, Austria. The total length of the tunnel is 32.8 km and the maximum overburden amounts to 1,250 m. The tunnel will be drilled through the Koralm Massive, which is of Palaeozoic (Variscan) origin and consists of rocks at various metamorphic stages. The tunnel system comprises two tubes with a diameter of 82 m each. The main part of the tunnel will be constructed using tunnel-boring machines. Currently, an exploration tunnel, which is part of the main tunnel, exists. The construction of the tunnel started from both ends, one in Carintia on the western side, the other one in Styria on the eastern side, which we will visit.

The guided tour into the tunnel will give an overview of the transportation concepts of the Austrian Railway Agency and the importance of the Koralm Tunnel within the European framework. The length of the tunnel and its overburden represent a challenge for safe and economic construction. Therefore, the geological, geophysical and geotechnical exploration measures already completed, will be addressed in detail. The recognition of faults and other geological hazards during the construction phase are important issues, especially when tunnel-boring machines are used. State-of-the-art geophysical methods for prediction ahead of the tunnel face will be applied to minimize delay and geotechnical problems during construction. Key sections of the tunnel, including the exploration tunnel at Leidenfeld, will be visited in two smaller groups. Who should attend Geologists Engineers
The core of the course is the relationship between acquisition parameters and seismic image quality. Who should attend All those interested in seismic imagery. The acquisition geophysicist may discover an unfamiliar presentation of familiar concepts. The processing geophysicist may discover the causes of some types of perturbations in seismic images. Likewise, the interpreter may gain understanding of the limitations in seismic images. Those in charge of financing these images may understand better why they are so expensive. The mathematical level of this course is elementary, although those with no idea of what the Fourier transform is may find some chapters difficult to follow. Those with no prior knowledge of seismic reflection would profit from advance reading of the chapters 2 (especially the definitions) and 3, which will be presented relatively quickly in this oneday course. Young professionals or students with no industrial experience will find a presentation very different from those given in universities.

SEG/EAGE DISC 2011: Seismic Acquisition from Yesterday to Tomorrow

Thursday 26 May, 8.30 16.30 hrs Instructor: Julien Meunier (CGGVeritas)
Course description There seems to be a very recent acceleration in the evolution of seismic acquisition. Offshore, wide-azimuth surveys have resulted in images of remarkable clarity. On land, increase in channel count has allowed the use of denser grids leading to significant noise reduction. Both onshore and offshore, the race for bandwidth extension is tenser than ever. This course presents these developments as a natural consequence of the conjunction of our need for clearer seismic images and the availability of recent technological advances.

Fundamentals of Reservoir Simulation

Thursday 26 May, 8.30 16.30 hrs Instructor: Grant Robertson (Indepent consultant) Robert Gochnour (BP America Inc.)
Course description The purpose of this seminar is to introduce in overview fashion the fundamental concepts and elements of reservoir simulation. There will be no equations used in this course, and the material will be taught from an awareness perspective. After attending, persons new to this area will understand the basics such as why and how a model is built, the sources of data, how wells are modeled, and what a company is looking for in a reservoir simulation study. The various phases (from model building through prediction) and types (single-well, sector, full-field) of models will be discussed. This is not intended to be a hands-on course. This will be very fast-paced for those who want to have an overview prior to getting involved in a more in-depth way. Topics covered will include: Theory of Numerical Simulation Planning a Simulation Study DataAcquisitionandAnalysis Fluid Properties Rock-Fluid Interaction Relationships Geologic Model Development Grid Construction Model Initialization Prepare Well History History Match Prediction Cases Review of Simulation Models Who should attend Those who have had little exposure to this technology and need a quick start on the learning curve. New college hires, earth scientists and those who will gain value from a high-level view of this technology will especially benefit.
Course description Three-dimensional geomechanical models are becoming more frequently used to assess the state of stress inside the Earth. Knowledge of the stress-state in a reservoir and the surrounding rock allows assessing the risk of reservoir compaction, wellbore failure, sanding, breach of seal integrity, fault re-activation and allows the design of mitigation for these issues. Three-dimensional seismic data and inversion models can be used in building geomechanical models and time-lapse (4D) seismic data provide a means of calibrating the dynamic behaviour of reservoir geomechanical models. The purpose of this course is to provide an overview of currently available workflows, to build and run calibrated reservoir geomechanical models maximizing the use of 3D and 4D seismic data. Rock-physics, relating the state of stress in the Earth and the propagation velocity of seismic waves, forms the link between seismic observations and the geomechanical model, and this link will be discussed both from experimental data and from a theoretical viewpoint. Attendees will learn how a combination of 3D geomechanical models, coupled to flow models, built and calibrated with 3D and 4D seismic data, help in creating a deep understanding of the reservoir depletion processes and the state of stress in the reservoir and surrounding rock. Who should attend The integrated nature of the subject and approach makes this course appealing to practitioners and researchers from a wide range of subsurface disciplines, ranging from geophysics, geomechanics, geomodelling, geology, rock physics and reservoir engineering. Practising geoscientists and engineers will appreciate the inter-disciplinary approach to addressing reservoir management issues and should be able to use ideas and approaches taught in this course in their day-to-day work. The course draws heavily on field observations and examples, while limiting the use of mathematical developments. This makes the course appealing to a wide cross-section of geoscientists and engineers that are interested in the inter-related nature of the subsurface disciplines. It should also be appealing to managers of crossdisciplinary subsurface teams, increasing the appreciation of the complexity of the subsurface workflows that his or her team needs to address.

An Introduction to Velocity Model Building

Friday 27 May, 8.30 16.30 hrs Instructor: Ian Jones (ION-GXT)
Course description The day will initially cover the motivations for building detailed velocity models and briefly discuss the inherent limitations on our ability to build a detailed model, then move on to review the history and evolution of model building techniques. Current-day practice will be covered, exemplified via several case-studies, and we will end with a synopsis of the less well-known and emerging techniques. The approach will not be mathematical but rather, will try to concentrate on an intuitive understanding of the principles and demonstrate them via case histories. This one-day course will try to give a complete overview but some topics, such as VSP and multi-component data, will not be covered. Course objective To give the participants a firm understanding of the processes and assumptions involved in building velocity-depth models. Who should attend Geophysicists with an interest in migration and velocity model building and geologists (with a basic knowledge of data processing) who want to understand a bit more about how the images they look at are created. Participants ideally need to have some knowledge of basic data processing.

Seismic Diffraction
Friday 27 May, 8.30 - 16.30 hrs Instructors: Evgeny Landa (OPERA) Henning Hoeber (CGGVeritas)
Course overview Seismic diffractions are the response to discontinuities in the subsurface. The imaging of seismic diffractions is an emerging technology for the detection of faults, stratigraphic pinchouts and other small scale heterogeneities for which the seismic reflection response is very limited. This course will cover the forward and inverse problems from first principles. The formulation of the forward problem will extend from the discovery of the phenomenon of diffraction and the basic mathematical formulation of Fresnel and Kirchhoff to the evolution of the modern geometrical theory of diffraction and the application of the theory to seismic modeling. The diffraction response will be illustrated on seismic data in a variety of geological settings. The inverse problem of diffraction imaging will be covered beginning with the early work in the

The rooms where once Emperor Joseph II drew up his revolutionary programme of reforms and where the Congress of Vienna met and danced, now houses the offices of the Federal President, the ministers of the chancellors office and the secretaries of state.

We welcome all family members to join us in Vienna. All registered family members have access to the social programme, which includes the icebreaker reception and the conference evening. In addition, registered family members have access to the exhibition and are invited to attend the family members tour. Family member tour Tuesday 24 May, 10.00 15.30 hrs The first part of the tour takes you to the southern part of Wienerwald. Through a picturesque landscape, the excursion continues to Heiligenkreuz, the oldest Cistercian monastery in Lower Austria, which was founded in 1135/36 by the Babenberger Duke Leopold III. The highlight is a guided tour through the monastery. After this visit the bus will take you to the Heurigen Wolff where lunch will be served. In Vienna, Heuriger is the name for the wine harvested in the previous year and also for the inns where it is sold. Gemma zum Heurign (Lets go to the Heurigen!) is an invitation to a casual gettogether in the afternoon or evening, with Heurigenmusic and wine providing a convivial spirit. The typical wine-producing locations are situated within the city limits, but in most cases they have the character of charming villages. After your lunch, the bus takes you back to the convention centre. On the way back, we pass by famous buildings. First the Belvedere, a Baroque palace built in the first half of the 18th century. We continue the tour at the Ringstrasse, a boulevard with an approximate length of 4 km. Furthermore we will pass by the Museum of Fine Arts, the Museum of Natural History, the City Hall, the Burgtheater, the Parliament, the University, and many more interesting sights. We will be back at around 15.30 hrs. Family members area The family members desk is located near the registration area. Our hostess will be able to give you all the information you need.
