JOIN US IN SAN ANTONIO LEARN ALL ABOUT THE HOTTEST AND LATEST TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS IN GEOPHYSICS.
The Society of Exploration Geophysicists 2019 International Exposition and 89th Annual Meeting in San Antonio, Texas will feature cutting-edge technologies ranging from Machine Learning and Full Waveform Inversion to near surface and environment, and all areas of interest in between.
We will explore tight rocks and unconventionals in hot plays, and we’ll also have a look at deep water and conventionals, striking a good balance between land and marine technical topics. One of the hottest topics this year is Machine Learning and Data Analytics (MLDA), with six oral sessions, eight poster sessions, and a special session. Within the MLDA sessions are several subtopics, including interpretation, processing, and inversion. In this era of digital transformation, the Machine Learning theme is also pertinent to interpretation, near surface, and reservoir characterization.
The program includes sessions on geomechanics and fracturing, novel acquisition methodologies such as DAS, drones, and passive and EM methods – all applied to new and challenging hot plays, including the Permian and other tight rock plays, Latin America, and deep water. The unconventional emphasis driving many of the technical topics include induced seismicity, distributed acoustic sensing, shear waves, land acquisition, microseismic, geomechanics, passive seismic, and fracture characterization.
The special global session features Latin America’s New Plays and Challenges, with eight special sessions including:
• Recent Advances and the Road Ahead • CO2 Monitoring • DAS, Borehole and Microseismic Geophysics for Unconventionals • Geoscientists without Borders and Humanitarian Geophysics • Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Applied to Geophysics • Seismic Advancements in the Permian • SEG/AGU Hydrogeophysics • Surface Wave Method Applications
Attendees can earn CEUs the weekend prior with Continuing Education courses by Jim Gaiser, Ian Jones, Kurt Marfurt, Osman Hassan, and more. The 20 postconvention workshops on Thursday and Friday feature a wide range of technical topics, including several with a digital and tight rock theme.
SEG19 has something for every kind of geophysicist! We’ll see you in San Antonio!
“You have to attend the SEG Annual Meeting. I learn
something new every year, such as what the advancements are in our field and what other people
are doing. It’s also an opportunity to share our experiences with

LETTER FROM THE SEG19 GENERAL CHAIR
I’m looking forward to seeing you in September when the SEG Annual Meeting returns to San Antonio for the first time since 2011! This beautiful city is the 7th largest metropolis in the United States with a rich multicultural history that dates back more than 300 years. Nicknamed “River City,” it is near many of the hottest plays in the world, including the Permian and Eagle Ford Basins, where I spent the majority of my career acquiring, processing, and interpreting data. Since 2015, close to 19,000 wells have been drilled in the Permian Basin, and almost 7,000 horizontal wells have been drilled in the Eagle Ford!
In addition to featuring these and other hot plays, there will also be an emphasis on Latin America, including the Business of Applied Geophysics (BAG) Plenary Session “Latin America and the Caribbean: Business Opportunities and Challenges.” This session will feature overviews on industry insights, current challenges, latest developments, commercial opportunities, and networking activity related to oil, gas, and mineral exploration activities in the region. Emphasis will be on Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, and an overview of the entire region. This is just one of six impressive BAG sessions, and this year they are included with your full delegate registration.
This year’s technical program includes more than 1,070 presentations in 155 sessions, with hot topics such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, induced seismicity, borehole and microseismic geophysics for unconventionals, Geoscientists Without Borders® and Humanitarian Geophysics, and more.
You can earn CEUs Saturday and Sunday before the official opening of SEG19 with a wide variety of offerings, including these new courses:
• Jim Gaiser’s 2016 Distinguished Instructor Short Course: 3C Seismic and VSP: Converted Waves and Vector Wavefield Applications

Last year JAWS (Juice A Winning Startup) was initiated at the Annual Meeting in Anaheim. It is a Shark-Tank inspired entrepreneurial pitch contest whereby each contestant was given half an hour to present their startup idea to a star-studded panel of judges. This year’s contest Monday afternoon promises to be even more successful and interesting. The panel of judges will include some of the same from last year and a couple of new faces.
We will continue to advance the science of applied geophysics among high school students with the Applied Science Education Program on Tuesday morning, when a few San Antonio high schools will visit. This is a great opportunity to chat with students at your booth and expand their knowledge of geophysics. We are also in need of some mentors to accompany the students, so please email Kristi Casey at [email protected] if you would like to assist.
But it’s not all work and no play, because this year we’re bringing back the golf tournament and the Presidential Jam, and we’re planning several fascinating and fun field trips and tours, including the Alamo, Natural Bridge Caverns, Cave Without a Name, kayaking on the San Antonio River, and more, so you’ll want to be sure to sign up when you register!
Get ready for a hot time in San Antonio with thousands of your colleagues! The early bird deadline is 30 July so register soon to take advantage of those savings. I’ll see you there!

ANCILLARY EDUCATION SESSIONSSpecial education events this year include the SEG Distinguished Instructor Short Course (DISC), the EAGE EET 1, two Near Surface Geophysics Summits, and one Near Surface Geophysics Panel Discussion.SEG DISC: PHYSICS AND MECHANICS OF ROCKS: A PRACTICAL APPROACH Instructor: Manika Prasad, Colorado School of Mines Friday, 13 September, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM
Attendees should understand basic rock properties such as porosity, permeability, sediment compositions and depositions, and structural geology. It will be helpful to have familiarity, but not necessarily expertise, in seismic properties. The accompanying textbook will include mathematical details, data and problem solutions for mineral modulus calculations, rock stiffness calculations for textural symmetries, velocity binning in flow zones, pore stiffness, and Gassmann fluid substitution. The lecture will focus on fundamental rock physics principles, applications, and analysis of results.
EAGE EET 1: SEISMIC MULTIPLE REMOVAL TECHNIQUES: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE Instructor: Eric Verschuur, Technical University Delft, Netherlands Sunday, 15 September, 8:00 AM–4:00 PM
The main objective of this course is to give the audience an overview of the techniques in seismic multiple removal, starting with the deconvolution-based methods from the 1960s, via the move-out discrimination techniques of the 1980s and ending up with wave-equation based methods from the 1990s and their 3D extensions as developed in the 2000s. Furthermore, the current challenges in multiple removal and their relation with seismic imaging and inversion are treated. A secondary objective is to discuss more general processing concepts such as
high-resolution seismic data transforms (Fourier, Radon), adaptive filtering techniques, wave-equation based forward and inverse wave propagation and the processing of seismic data in different transform domains.
NEAR SURFACE PANEL DISCUSSION: SOLVING NEAR-SURFACE PROBLEMS WITH GEOPHYSICS AND ENGINEERING Tuesday, 17 September, 12:05 PM–1:05 PM
Engineers and geophysicists often focus on the same near-surface problems, and in some cases collaborate on the same projects, but information can sometimes get lost in translation. It is important that both professions utilize each other’s expertise effectively so that these problems can be solved efficiently to reduce the opportunity for future failures. This panel aims to provide students and professionals with a better understanding of how the engineering and geophysical communities are working together and how they can work together better. Panelists will include engineering and geophysics faculty members as well as working professionals in the engineering sector to provide perspectives from research and development to practical applications.

14-15 Sep Affordable Full-Mode S-Wave Reflection Seismology with P Sources
Bob Hardage This course teaches how so-called “P wave” sources (vertical vibrators, vertical impacts, buried explosives) generate downgoing illuminating direct-SV wavefields that are as suitable for imaging deep geology as are traditional downgoing illuminating direct-P wavefields produced by these sources.
15-Sep Fundamentals of Rock Physics for Exploration NEW
Aiman M. Bakhorji Every year, finding new hydrocarbon potential is harder, riskier, and more expensive as we move from conventional to unconventional resources. For decades, seismic was used to image subsurface structures and derive elastic rock properties using seismic inversion algorithms. The challenge is how to produce seismic products that are meaningful to exploration and reservoir development to enable swift management decisions and risk reduction. The key to overcoming this complexity and risk has always been the effective integration of diverse petroleum technologies that is accomplished through rock physics.

FIELD TRIPS AND TOURSREMEMBER THE ALAMO – AND REMEMBER TO BOOK YOUR FIELD TRIPS AND TOURS WHEN YOU REGISTER!SUNDAY, 15 SEPTEMBER
EAGLE FORD FORMATION FIELD TRIPThe Eagle Ford Group is a sedimentary rock formation deposited during the Cenomanian and Turonian ages of the Late Cretaceous over much of the modern-day state of Texas. The Eagle Ford is predominantly composed of organic matter-rich fossiliferous marine shales and marls with interbedded thin limestones. It derives its name from outcrops on the banks of the West Fork of the Trinity River near the old community of Eagle Ford, which is now a neighborhood within the city of Dallas.
CAVE WITHOUT A NAME TOURThe cave named for its beauty. A student in a local contest called it the Cave Without a Name because it was “Too pretty to have a name!” This field trip begins on a stairwell spiraling down to the original sinkhole opening. Emerge into an expansive chamber that sets the pace for the adventure. Experience the diversity of nature’s artistic creations. Six major rooms offer sparkling crystalline formations. The cave is filled with spectacular formations of stalactites, stalagmites, delicate soda straws, cave drapery, magnificent flowstones, rimstone dams and more. End with the sights and sounds of a clear subterranean brook. Bring your camera to explore this true Texas marvel.
NATURAL BRIDGE CAVERNS TOURLight and dark combine to enhance your exploration of huge underground chambers decorated with some of our most rare and delicate formations. The Hidden Passages are highly decorated with unusually long “soda straw” stalactites, waves of “cave ribbon” and profusion of intriguing “welt and turnip shields.”
