The Brazilian Geophysical Society (SBGf) is organizing in 2010 a Forum to focus discussions on the application of non-seismic methods for Oil and Gas Exploration. Modern geophysics was born with non-seismic methods when Conrad Schlumberger conceived the revolutionary idea of using electrical measurements to map subsurface rock bodies in 1912. |

After almost a century the non-seismic methods are still revolutionary on the geophysical world bringing new ideas and methods for the exploration of natural resources.
Present days, the oil industry emphasizes the use of geophysical techniques because of their minimum impact to the environment. By having in mind that the large reservoirs are hard to discover and expensive to develop the industry is searching for new technologies which are able to provide valuable information for the exploration and production of these areas in an efficient and more cost-effective way. We hope to have examples from offshore and onshore applications of the non-seismic methods from South America, Gulf of Mexico, North Sea, Middle East, Russia and other important oil producers worldwide.
The Organizing Committee expects to receive 150 delegates from Brazil and abroad.
