About
Geoscience meets technology in the digitalization community.
New digital tools and applications can be catalysts and a competitive edge in better decision-making, evaluation, and improved inter-disciplinary subsurface understanding, in our efforts to to meet the energy demands of tomorrow!
Why?
Digitalization of the subsurface is a rapidly developing field. We are witnessing significant progress in embracing technology opportunities. Yet, there are still challenges and language barriers addressed.
At DigXSubsurface, we lay a foundation for trust in new tools, data, and applications through the presentation of case studies, key learnings, and best practices to develop next-generation subsurface workflows.
For whom?
Geoscientists, data scientists, and digitalization professionals working within the subsurface domain in the traditional and renewable industries:
- Oil companies
- Service companies
- Technology providers
- Authorities
- Research and educational institutions
