ABSTRACT DEADLINE: 5 JANUARY 2024
Venue: Scandic Oslo Airport (Gardermoen, Oslo)
Date: 5. – 7. March 2024
A major technological shift is underway in the subsurface geoscience community, transforming the way we collaborate, work, store, utilize, and analyze vast amounts of data.
DigXSubsurface 2024 is the conference for the geoscience community and the associated ecosystem, working with the digitalization of the subsurface. We will dive deep into the significant progress being made and showcase presentations from frontrunner organizations and forefront projects that embrace digital technologies to unlock new opportunities and increase our subsurface understanding through multi-disciplinary data, systems, and workflow integrations.
The DigXSubsurface conference focuses on the entire value chain within the subsurface, including exploration, production, IOR, well planning, reservoir characterization, next-generation field development, data management, and digital twins. Traditionally, these units have worked separately, but now they are becoming more integrated systems and workflows.
The community knows that digitalization may enable more efficient exploration, next-generation subsurface workflows, better well placement, and safe drilling.
On the one hand, new digital tools, applications, and integrated systems can significantly amplify our efforts to enhance subsurface understanding, thereby meeting the growing demand for NCS competitiveness due to innovations and new ways of collaborating. On the other hand, they can introduce a host of new complexities that require planning and expertise to address effectively. Furthermore, digitalization is more than just data and technology. It involves a comprehensive transformation process, workflows, mindset, and cultural changes.
At DigXSubsurface, we are shedding light on the challenges of having a clear vision of what a digital future will be, and the strategies for getting there. How is new technology made available to the user, and how do we ensure transparency to create trust in digital processes?
We are keen to learn more about how data and digitalization contribute to value creation and how to build a culture among subsurface professionals to let them fully take advantage of advances in digitalization.
We invite the digital subsurface ecosystem of energy companies, technology providers, data managers, authorities, research and educational institutions, data scientists, and digitalization professionals to submit abstracts to the Dig X Subsurface in March 2024 covering the following topics:
