The most intriguing innovations in geophysical theory and instrumentation that are likely to have significant impact on the oil and gas industry will be thoroughly examined in the Technical Program of SEG's International Exposition and 70th Annual Meeting. The 92 sessions necessary to encompass the record of 650-plus oral and poster presentations guarantee a myriad of choices to keep your schedule full.

The overflow Technical Program required that the regular schedule for formal presentations be extended in both directions. Presentations will begin 90 minutes earlier than usual (starting at 10:30 A.M., immediately following the Presidential Session, on Monday, 7 August) and also will extend into Thursday afternoon.

Key topics include: acquisition and survey design; AVO and multicomponent; case histories and interpretation; gravity and magnetics; seismic migration; mining, geothermal, and electromagnetics; near surface and environmental geophysics; reservoir characterization and time lapse; rock properties and borehole; seismic processing; and seismic theory.

A few additional special sessions will deal with unique subjects. The annual and popular "Recent advances and the road ahead" session will be held Monday, 7 August, at 1:30 P.M. in the Boyce Theatre. Organizers are Yoram Shoham (Shell International) and Kurt Strack (KMS Technologies-KJT Enterprises Inc.). This year's "Recent advances and the road ahead" session will focus on niche technologies and geophysics and the value they provide to the industry. Numerous nonseismic techniques and specialty seismic methods have been selected. They cover the range of seismoelectric, to seismic while drilling, high-resolution electromagnetics, and airborne geophysics. The technologies play a key role in linking the geophysical measurements to better understand the complete reservoir in an E&P environment.

Another special session likely to have widespread appeal has been coined the "TLE Forum." This special session, chaired by Rutt Bridges (Tuesday, 8 August, 8:30 A. . . [Full Text of this Article]
