GSH UPCOMING EVENTS!

JANUARY

Unconventional and New Energy SIG: Anisotropy Impacted AVO Response: An Example From Offshore Newfoundland

Speaker: Katarina Jonke, bp

Day: Thurs-08-Jan-2026 11:30am to 1:00pm This is a hybrid meeting

Location: TGS, 10451 Clay Rd., Houston, TX 77041

Summary: A recently drilled exploration well in the previously untested West Orphan basin was unsuccessful despite a strong amplitude variation with offset (AVO) anomaly.

Data Processing and Acquisition SIG: Ultrashallow Imaging Using Active and Passive Near-Field Hydrophone Measurements

Speaker: Mr. Frederico Xavier de Melo, slb

Day: Tues-13-Jan-2026 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM

This is a hybrid meeting.

Location: SLB, 10001 Richmond Avenue, Houston TX 77042

Summary: We present an ultrashallow reflectivity reconstruction method by integrating active and passive near-field hydrophone (NFH) measurements via a matching pursuit algorithm. This technique aims to create a detailed three-dimensional (3D) image...

Data Science and Machine Learning SIG: Identifying Bottom Simulating Reflection for Gas Hydrate interpretation using Deep Learning

Speaker: Fawz Naim, Advanced Resources International

Day: Wed-14-Jan 12:00 Noon to 1:00 pm. Virtual only.
