4D Forum

The 4D Forum – Insight to Actions, taking place at The Tremont House in Galveston, United States, is designed to unite geoscientists, engineers, and industry professionals from various backgrounds to expand their knowledge in time-lapse subsurface monitoring. This forum uniquely combines the format of a traditional conference with interactive workshops, facilitating structured sessions alongside open discussions. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a meaningful exchange of ideas, fostering collaboration across disciplines such as geoscience, reservoir engineering, and data interpretation. The event aims to enhance understanding of how 4D seismic data can drive value through an integrated approach between geoscience and engineering.The agenda of the Forum is structured around three main pillars focusing on how 4D seismic data creates value: the essentials of 4D value creation, integrated team workflows, and advancements in digital 4D technology. Key topics include the basic principles of seismic 4D, pitfalls practitioners should avoid, and innovative strategies in data acquisition and quantitative interpretation. Attendees can expect a dynamic experience featuring industry-leading keynote speakers, targeted session primers, and interactive panel discussions. A highlight of the event will be the poster sessions that encourage spontaneous conversations and hands-on learning opportunities. Notably, the Forum seeks to showcase case studies that illustrate successful integration between engineering and geoscience, providing insights into effective collaboration and the real-world application of 4D techniques. The event will feature prominent speakers including Dan Davies, an expert in seismic processing and acquisition design with extensive experience in 4D projects, and Paulo Johann, a Senior Advisor for Petrobras with over 40 years in the petroleum industry. Their contributions will provide valuable perspectives on the current state and future directions for seismic monitoring and reservoir management. Participants are encouraged to submit abstracts that highlight innovative workflows and methods that yield consistent results in real projects. The Forum also offers sponsorship opportunities for companies looking to engage with an audience keen on advancing 4D seismic technology. Overall, the 4D Forum presents a unique opportunity for professionals to reconnect, learn, and drive business value through the essentials of time-lapse technology.
