TENTATIVE AGENDA

The first day of this meeting will be devoted to (a) a general description of the research program and (b) technical presentations. Summary discussions will take place at the end of the first day as well. A second working day will be devoted to technical talks covering the use of well logs, 3D seismic data, and fluid production measurements for quantitative reservoir characterization.
