IMAGE Week Events

It All Starts Here - The Best Geoscience Happens at IMAGE


The International Meeting for Applied Geoscience and Energy (IMAGE) is the premier event for geoscientists and energy professionals offering world-class technical programming, training opportunities, state-of-the-art exhibition displays, and networking functions.


But we’re not the only ones offering exciting experiences and activities. A global community of industry leading companies and experts converge to Houston each year during IMAGE to host a multitude of energy-related geosciences events.


To help establish that world's best geoscience is happening at IMAGE we have gathered, IMAGE Week Events, a collection of all the exciting events, product launches, presentations, receptions, after parties, and other activities taking place in and around IMAGE.


Join your fellow friends and colleagues and start planning your IMAGE Week experience.

Technical know-how and expertise, anchored in sound geoscience principles and channeled through state-of-the-art interpretation software, allow the experts at Subsurface Clarity to rapidly analyze complex reservoir targets. The presentation will walk participants through digital workflows, from data enhancement to static reservoir models. The workflows and resulting products focus on detailed stratigraphic analysis of conventional and unconventional reservoirs. Data volumes are taken from noise cancellation and spectral enhancement, through seismic data attribute analysis, frequency decomposition and edge-detection color-blends, detailed seismic facies analysis, and well-log based 3D property models. Interpretations and volume analyses are captured and communicated through the use of horizon stacks, Wheeler plots, well-log cross sections, isochores, fault frameworks, and 3D visualization.

Presented by: Ken Abdulah and Clémence Prazuck

Interest in carbon capture and storage (CCS) is growing rapidly as a crucial part of global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. To support this growth in capture technology, we need an acceleration in new CO₂ storage project developments. In this course, we review the science and technology underpinning CO₂ storage in deep saline aquifer formations using insights from several industrial-scale projects. We analyze the main factors, which limit storage capacity — constraints governed by flow dynamics, injectivity, pressure development, and geomechanics. Then, this physical basis provides a framework for determining how to optimize monitoring methods. Using the latest portfolio of geophysical methods for smart and cost-effective monitoring at the surface and downhole (including conventional seismic acquisition, passive seismic listening, and fiber-optic sensing), we discuss how short- and long-term storage assurance can be demonstrated with high levels of confidence. Next, we address the question of what is needed to achieve climate-significant scales of CCS deployment. Although technically achievable, the current socio-economic framing often makes storage project execution difficult in practice. By building technical confidence in project execution, we may be able ‘turn the dial’ and realize the gigatonne levels of storage needed over the coming decades.

The goal of this course is to review the main concepts involved in the engineered storage of CO₂ in saline aquifer formations, dispelling some common misunderstandings along the way. After explaining the main trapping mechanisms, we critically assess methods for estimating storage capacity and evaluate the key constraints for achieving the storage volumes needed over the project’s timeframe. The course material has a strong focus on geophysical monitoring methods and data sets, which are key to the stated objective of building confidence in the technology and assuring long-term storage integrity.

MicroSeismic provides monitoring across all aspects of the CO2 sequestration process, primarily in terms of background and induced seismicity, caprock integrity, and plume extent with the complementary use of CSEM imaging. We aspire to offer tools and services to measure atmospheric gas concentrations (e.g., CO2, CO, CH4…), soil gas flux, and USDW aquifer quality. The data set derived from these multi-faceted monitoring domains provide a comprehensive picture of all elements and aspects of the CO2 sequestration process.

Multi-stage, multi-well completions cause pore-pressures to increase around each stage treated, compound from earlier offset treatment stages, then dissipate as the injected fluid leaks off into the rock formation. Local stress changes illuminated by microseismic focal mechanisms can be used to create maps of high and low induced stress which, in turn, can be used to guide a dynamic slurry propagation model and estimate fluid and proppant distribution from the injection. Injected slurry volumes respond to these pore-pressure changes dependent upon lag time from previously treated stages. An example is presented from a multi-stage, multi-well hydraulic stimulation in the Wolfcamp Formation located in Southeast New Mexico.

Karst topography underlies as much as 15% of the earth’s land area. Damage from daylighting sinkholes amounted to more than $4.5 billion in the last 15 years in the United States alone. We present our progress at early detection of growing Karst features using passive seismic. Such detection can allow for hazard mitigation prior to a catastrophic event.

Hydraulic fracturing causes local stress shadows that influence fluid propagation on future stimulated stages and wells. Stress dissipates over time and returns to the virgin stress state. Analysis of injected well-specific tracer chemicals during production on 7 horizontal wells treated over a 25-day period in the Denver-Julesburg basin demonstrates that stress-shadows dissipate after ~12 days. Results suggest that fluid from offset wells treated <12 days from the parent well treatment will be contained close to the treatment well. After 12 days, stress shadows have dissipated, and tracer is produced up to 2000 ft laterally from the injection well.

Continuous IoT monitoring utilizes cost effective smart sensors, meters, gateways, advanced data analytics and the cloud to continuously monitor operations, equipment, and environmental conditions for detecting anomalous data patterns indicative of performance issues, imminent equipment failures, or fugitive leakage of emissions or liquids. These solutions allow companies to identify potential problems and threats in real time so they can be addressed quickly to minimize downtime, optimize efficiencies, reduce operating costs, and mitigate damage to the environment by agile in-situ carbon emission monitoring.

Recent instances of earthquakes of magnitude Mw 5 and greater have been associated with salt water injection, resulting in regulatory agencies reducing injection rates in wells as far as 175 miles distant from the epicenter of the earthquake. This issue has the potential to present significant problems for CCS operations, where 45Q tax credits are linked to the total mass of CO2 sequestered. Passive seismic monitoring of CO2 injection operations offers a solution to this problem, by listening for and measuring the lower magnitude seismic events that typically precede earthquakes with the potential to damage surface infrastructure.
