NEW THIS YEAR Geoscience professionals from all geophysical disciplines A new hot Technical Program topic for SEG18, Machine and all parts of the world are represented and will share the Learning and Data Analytics for E&P, will be highlighted with latest case histories, technological advancements, and sessions on: research discoveries. • Classification for Interpretation The Technical Program will begin on Monday at 1:50 PM, following the SEG Opening Session and Presidential Address. Uses of the Machine Learning approach for automatic Oral sessions and poster sessions will run through Thursday interpretation or as an aid to interpretation of geological at noon. Immediately following, postconvention workshops features such as faults, horizons, and salt bodies will take place in the technical session area on Thursday afternoon and all day Friday. • Noise Attenuation and Seismic Processing SPECIAL SESSIONS Machine Learning methods used for noise attenuation or These dedicated sessions will be offered to complement the suppression, and seismic processing technical program: • Facies Classification and Reservoir Properties • Recent Advances and the Road Ahead Machine Learning uses for characterization of facies and • Developments and Applications of Surface-Wave Methods reservoir properties. • Engineering Geophysics • Seismic Imaging and Inversion • Geophysics and Medical Imaging Applications Machine Learning methods in a seismic imaging and inversion framework. • Geophysicists in the Workforce • Various Machine Learning Applications • California Case Studies Application of Machine Learning methods for various • SEG/AGU Hydrogeophysics geophysical problems (hydrocarbon production, EM, and others) • VSP, Advanced Processing, and Imaging Approaches for DAS • Injection Induced Seismicity • Novel DAS Sensing Strategies and Machine Learning 36 SEG Anaheim 2018 Official Program Sponsored by TECHNICAL PROGRAM FLOOR MAPS ORAL SESSIONS s 204C 203B 212A 210C 209A 207C 206A s s s s s s 204B 213B s 211A 210A 208A 207A 205A s 202A TERRACE 213A 204A 201A TERRACE s s s s s s s s s PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE ACC NORTH Map Notes: ANAHEIM CONVENTION CENTER Speaker Ready Room 201A LEVEL TWO Volunteer Room 203B Room entrance locations POSTER Hall C SESSIONS Poster Sessions Food Court E D F C A B 22 2247 E D F C 21 A B TECHNICAL PROGRAM MAPS FLOOR E D F C 20 A B EXPOSITION E D E D F C 19 F C 18 FLOOR A B A B E D E D F C F C A B 17 A B 16 E D E D E D F C F C F C A B 15 A B 14 A B 13 E D E D E D F C F C F C A B 12 A B 11 A B 10 E D E D E D F C F C F C A B 9 A B 8 A B 7 E D E D E D onsortium F C 6 F C 5 F C 4 A B A B A B Showcase E D E D E D F C 3 F C 2 F C 1 A B A B A B 2601 Loy www.sponsorwebsite.com Society of Exploration Geophysicists | seg.org 37 TECHNICAL PROGRAM SCHEDULE AT A GLANCE Abbreviation / Topic Name ACQ .........................................................Acquisition and Survey Design PS ......................................................................................Passive Seismic ANI ...............................................................................................Anisotropy RC ...................................................................Reservoir Characterization AVOSI............................................................
