Abstract

Geophysicists should make an effort to attend the first-of-its-kind joint-society (SEG, AAPG, and SPE) technical conference for Unconventional Resources, known as URTeC, to be held 12–14 August in Denver, Colorado. Geophysicists who now find themselves working on unconventional plays have had to adapt their skills in a variety of ways to be able to provide the proper analysis and input to multidisciplinary teams in exploration, appraisal, and development. Retooling our interpretation and analysis skills from the identification and mapping of conventional prospects where we focused on reservoir presence, trap timing, seal integrity, migration pathways, depth imaging, and attributes related to porosity and fluids involves refocusing on elastic properties, stress analysis, rock mechanics, fault and fracture trends, anisotropy, detailed time/depth conversion, structural attributes, and microseismic data.
