HEADLINE SPONSOR
INTEGRATED SUBSURFACE DECISION MAKING - A COLLABORATIVE WORKSHOP FOR GEOSCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS
In the energy industry, technical data alone does not find value - people do. The most successful teams are those that work effectively across functions, who can bridge the gap between Geoscience and Engineering to manage risk and make sound commercial decisions.
This one-day interactive workshop goes beyond standard technical training. It simulates a real-world Asset Team environment, bringing Geoscientists and Petroleum Engineers together to solve complex subsurface challenges. You will move from exploration principles in the morning to quantitative appraisal in the afternoon, mirroring the lifecycle of a field.
Application deadline - Thursday 5 March.
WORKSHOP EXPERIENCE (Tuesday 31 March or Wednesday 1 April)
| SESSION TIMING | SESSION AGENDA |
| 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM | Teams will integrate geological data to evaluate exploration blocks. You must collaborate to build a case and submit a competitive bid. |
| 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM | Using quantitative geophysics, teams will determine where to drill the next appraisal well. You will balance technical requirements with commercial reality. |
WHY JOIN THE WORKSHOP
COLLABORATE EFFECTIVELY
Break down the "silos" between disciplines. Geoscientists will learn to think like engineers (focusing on commerciality), and Engineers will learn to think like geoscientists (understanding subsurface ambiguity).
COLLABORATE EFFECTIVELY
PRACTICE CRITICAL THINKING
Move beyond simple data observation. Learn to translate observations into robust interpretations by challenging your own assumptions (distinguishing between Inquiry and Advocacy).
PRACTICE CRITICAL THINKING
QUANTIFY UNCERTAINTY & RISK
Understand how to define technical risks and communicate them clearly to ensure the team understands the range of possible outcomes.
QUANTIFY UNCERTAINTY & RISK
MAKE SOUND DECISIONS
Synthesize complex technical information into clear, evidence-based recommendations for stakeholders.
