GI-7 Down-hole Instrumentation: Technology and Applications
The goal is to promote discussions between scientists who use data to address problems and the scientists who are developing new logging technologies. Geological and geophysical problems could include sedimentology and hard rock analysis, structural analysis of deformation, fracture and porosity, rock physical properties determinations, pore fluid analysis, rock stress and fluid pressure determinations.
Drilling, coring and logging technological developments covering the spectrum of tool sizes and results from a wide range of geological environments are actively encouraged.
Subjects of interest include slim holes techniques, underbalanced, ice and gas hydrate drilling, low environmental impact tools, high pressure and temperature tools, logging in high-angle/horizontal wells, formation evaluation in conventional and non-conventional plays, ice logging, geophysical measurements in tunnels, and non-conventional applications of classical logs.
