Gain insights into the past, present, and future of Digital Rock Physics (DRP) during an afternoon of expert presentations and live demonstrations. Together with specialists from Math2Market, the University of Texas, and Chevron, we will explore how DRP is driving innovation—from understanding its historical foundations to addressing today's challenges in scalability, automation, and interactions between CO₂, fluids, and rock.
Attendees will gain exclusive insights into the latest modeling approaches and experience hands-on demonstrations in our Imaging and Rock Lab Tours. The event will conclude with refreshments and beer, providing the perfect opportunity to network with industry experts and exchange ideas.
What can you expect?
- Exchange ideas with other experts in your field—share experiences, challenges, and solutions.
- Direct dialogue with experienced GeoDict professionals.
- Practical insights through real-world use cases.
