2nd Annual MIT-Schlumberger Workshop: Physics and Chemistry of Rocks
Frank Dale Morgan, Brian Evans, Dan Burns, Peter Tilke, Austin Boyd, and Michael Prange
Tue Jan 31, Wed Feb 1, 08:30am-05:00pm, 66-110

No limit but advance sign up required (see contact below)
Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)
Prereq: None

Our understanding of the physics and chemistry of sedimentary rocks at the pore scale has advanced considerably in recent years. An appreciation and understanding of the role of the fluids filling the pores and their physiochemical interaction with the rock matrix has also developed. We will review some key challenges and current areas of research facing both academic and industrial scientists. The latest techniques and issues in measuring and modeling these rock-fluid systems will be addressed. Speakers will come from MIT, Schlumberger, industry and the government. The covered topics should also be of interest to anyone investigating the properties of composite materials.
