Cosponsor : Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC)

The 27th Formation Evaluation Symposium of Japan will be held as a “hybrid” event over four (4) days from 13th to 16th September. The onsite venue will be in Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation – Technology & Research Center (JOGMEC-TRC), Chiba. The symposium will be 9:00-17:00 Japan Standard Time (GMT+09:00) each day. All persons involved in oil, gas, new energy, geo-engineering industry, and scientific drillings are invited to showcase your case studies, new technologies and innovations.
The symposium committees are soliciting papers in the following General Themes:
 Reservoir Characterization of Conventional Reservoirs
 Reservoir Characterization of Unconventional Reservoirs
 Automated Methods of Formation Evaluation
 Specialized Measurement Techniques and Interpretation Methods
 Core and Well-Log Integration
 Case Studies

In the special session, “Geothermal”, JFES will provide petrophysicists, geologists, geophysicists and engineers with an opportunity to share their expertise and case studies for geothermal energy development. We are soliciting papers in the following Special Themes:
 Formation Evaluation of Conventional Geothermal Reservoirs
 Formation Evaluation of Supercritical Geothermal Reservoirs
 Specialized Borehole Measurement and Well Testing in Geothermal Wells
 Geophysical Exploration in Geothermal Field
 Geological Modeling and Dynamic Simulation for Geothermal Reservoirs
 Formation Evaluation for Direct Utilization of Geothermal Energy

SPWLA Japan Board of Directors encourage students to participate and present. Best Student Awards will be presented to the outstanding presentation. The student awarded would be nominated for SPWLA student paper contest in the international SPWLA 2023 symposium.
There will be no poster session, so abstract submission is for consideration an oral presentation only. Each presentation would be total of 25 minutes (TBD), including 15 minutes oral presentation, 10 minutes live Q&A.
