4. November, 2026
Solastranden Gård

The Norwegian Formation Evaluation Society, a chapter of SPWLA is pleased to invite you to a non-commercial full day Formation Evaluation Workshop to be held at Solastranden Gård, Wednesday the 4th of November 2026. It is an opportunity to present your work, meet other geoscience experts, and foster new ideas that would drive the energy industry forward during the following decades. We kindly ask for your participation and financial support to make the event a success. More details will be communicated in due time.

Schedule and Seminar Duration:

Seminar will be held on 4th of November 2026, 09:00-15:30. The programme will consist of 8-9 talks. Coffee/tea, lunch, and refreshments will be provided, together with insights into Formation Evaluation and Petrophysics.

Event sponsorship opportunity:

To become a sponsor, please contact Annette Larsen alarsen@logtek.no.

Call for abstracts:

NFES would like to call for abstracts with submission deadline on 29th September 2026.

Themes and topics to be covered by the seminar are:

  • Petrophysics and Formation Evaluation for Energy Transition and Emerging Subsurface Energy Applications
  • New way of working – Applications of Machine learning digitalization, AI, Automation, Use of Surface data, Wired Drill Pipe etc. in formation evaluation.
  • Advances in Logging, NMR, Borehole Imaging, and Core Evaluation Technologies
  • Formation evaluation in challenging environments: Tight reservoirs, HPHT and complex wells
  • Successful well performance: Petrophysical support beyond drilling - Completion, intervention and well integrity
  • Integrated Field Case Studies and Lessons Learned

In addition, Norwegian University Students (MSc and PhD) are welcome to submit their work and studies. NFES would like to support the students, whose abstracts are approved, on their actual travel expenses capped at maximum of 5000 NOK per student.

Abstract guidelines:

Please use SPWLA guidelines for the abstract format. The abstract should contain the following information:

  1. Abstract title
  2. Author information: first and last name, affiliation, and email address.
  3. Text of abstract should be 300-600 words, divided in 4 sections:
    • Introduction - describe the problem that motivated the paper proposal (75 words minimum and 150 words maximum).
    • Procedure - describe approach to the problem solution with particular emphasis on innovative procedures that differentiate the methods (75 words minimum and 150 words maximum).
    • Results / Observations - describe significant results and major technical contributions (75 words minimum and 150 words maximum).
    • Conclusion - describe lessons learned from the study, application of the findings, and opportunities to further deploy methods (75 words minimum and 150 words maximum).
  4. Graph/figure - authors are encouraged to upload one figure or graph illustrating the methodology or key results. The figure will support the review process and should be submitted separately from the abstract. No company logos or author names should appear in the figure.

Note that commercial content or trade names should be excluded from abstract.

The link for submission of abstracts is coming soon.
