ABSTRACT

As the world’s demand for oil, gas, coal and minerals increases it becomes more and more important to image the subsurface and to predict its behaviour in response to changes in stress and fluid movement. The requirements of different subsurface industries can be very different but the overlap is significant. This paper considers opportunities for collaboration across industries, identifies barriers and discusses successful technology transfers.
