[Users] Basin modellers @ OpendTect meeting at AAPG conference, Cancun

[Herald Ligtenberg]

Dear all,

We are investigating and working towards an improved integration between 
basin modelling and seismic attribute and neural network analysis using 
OpendTect. Although a lot of advantages exist to include seismics in 
basin modelling, it is still a fairly unexplored area.

Example applications:
- seismic fluid migration path interpretation of the ChimneyCube can be 
used to calibrate/ update basin models, e.g. hydraulic properties of 
faults and formations.
- more in general, seismic attribute analysis can be used to improve the 
confidence level of modelling results.
- facies maps, generated by clustering methods on seismic data using 
neural networks, are useful input for building your model, thereby 
including litho-facies variations within formations.
- structurally consistent faults and horizons tracked at every preferred 
level are useful input to build the framework structure of your model.

We therefore have initiated a group of basin modellers that are 
interested in a better integration between the two analysis methods.

--> Meeting at AAPG international conference, Cancun (next week), 
sponsored by dGB and IES.

On behalf of dGB and IES, I would like to invite you to the first Basin 
Modellers @ OpendTect lunchon meeting.

Venue: Hyatt Regency Hotel (check the signs)
Date: Tuesday 28 October 2004
Time: 13:00 - 14:30

The official program of this meeting starts at 13:00 and ends at approx. 
14:30 o'clock. It includes an introduction about OpendTect and the 
integration with basin modelling; a presentation on "Petromod & 
OpendTect" by IES, and presentations by basin modellers and others with 
application examples. The meeting also includes a discussion/feedback 
session.

Looking forward to see you in Cancun!

Herald Ligtenberg
